early this morning watered all the plants in the garden with a bucket… it meant that I got lots of steps in and did a bit of weight training, lol…
summer is nearly upon us…
so enjoy the time to wander around the space and enjoy the beauty…
morning is my best time… by the end of the day I am often just interested in vegging out in front of the tv…

got up early and went for a walk to the Park… temperature was going to 34° and will feel like 39° Celsius…
so an early walk seemed like a good plan, lol..
by the time I got home just before 10, it was already hot…
as I was walking down the next street, two bunnies froze in place as I was coming down the sidewalk… the yard they were in was filled with dandelions which they love…
they really think if they freeze the person walking along won’t see them, lol…
as soon as I passed them, they both hopped away…

as I was walking home last night I stopped by the creek and watched the mallard couple for quite a while…
they were swimming up and down the creek calmly…
was so busy enjoying the moment that I didn’t take any photos…
but I have this one from last week, when a mallard popped out of the water at the Duck Pond…
cute, eh…

on my walk home tonight I stopped at the creek and spent a few minutes looking it over…
the water level is very low…
doesn’t seem that long ago that there was water everywhere…
after all the snow, it seems amazing that everything is so dry now…

busy day as I researched and decided on which version of iPhone X I would upgrade to…
walked up and down Polo Park a few times as I checked out the various options…
one of the things I was most interested in was the quality of the camera, as I take many photos…
also, size of the phone was important… I didn’t want something too large for my hand and that would feel uncomfortable…
and then there was the issue of the case… I have the most wonderful case now, but it isn’t available for an iPhone X…
I want something that doesn’t cover the front of the phone as I do take so many photos…
in the end I chose the iPhone X and purchased it from The Source… picked up a Huawei tablet and a Kate Spade cover…
I also found a case that holds a few credit cards… not sure yet which case I will use most, lol…
then I came home and figured out how to move my data from the old to the new…
even got the tablet working with all the apps I use… it will be fun to learn the android system…
looking forward to playing with these new toys;-)…

took these photos Sunday, on my walk in the Park…
clearly some geese were setting up their nest on the roof of the skating shelter by the Duck Pond…
sort of funny when you think that the roof on the Qualico Family Center, just a few steps away, is made of grass, lol…

as I walked up the street tonight I saw a few couples…
the mallard couple have been coming to this creek for many years… these might be the children or even grandchildren now…
a few steps further along I came across the bunny couple… they weren’t sitting quite as close together, lol…
nice walk…

big girl pants, cold, gloves, May, sandals, shivers, snowflakes, Tea, walk, widow
this morning the sun was shining as I got dressed to go for my first Spring walk to the Park…
temperature was a bit cool, right around 1° Celsius, but it looked pretty nice out…
so, I wore short pants and sandals… by the time I was heading out the door the sky looked a bit dark (like snow) so I did add my hat…
a bit of wind as I was walking, but not too bad… I had on my Spring/Fall jacket and my little gloves were in my pocket…
before too long I had on the gloves and took most of my pictures wearing them… luckily the camera doesn’t insist on bare skin the way the iPhone does, lol…
snowflakes did fall every now and then… May 5th, sigh…
I was happy to get home but didn’t realize until I was laying under a blanket with a hot cup of tea in my hands how cold I had been… I did sit in the bathroom for a while to warm my toes on the floor;-)…
my entire body shivered for ages, lol…
hope my next walk is a bit warmer…
