tonight I walked home from Portage…

it was a bit chilly, but a lovely walk… the streets were clear of snow and just a bit wet so my feet made it home unscathed…

really happy now that I know the sidewalks are in good shape so that I can start walking on a regular basis;-)…

although there is very little snow remaining on the ground, it snowed off and on for a good portion of the day… crazy…

the creek is full of water, nearly all the ice has melted… the mix of cold and warm and wind have slowed down the melt so it doesn’t look like it will overflow…

slushy…

tonight, as I walked up the street, I took a photo of the road and creek…

there is lots of water out there, which is exciting because that means it is Spring…

yay, yay, yay…

been wearing sandals since last Wednesday (start of Spring and all), so have had to do a bit less walking on the sidewalks because they are still slushy, or icy, or filled with puddles…

there is still a great deal of snow out there, particularly on the lawns and in yards, but it is certainly melting more every day…

laughed…

great day…

slept in and watched some tv…

picked up by a friend and we went out for lunch at Pho Hoang… shared some tofu spring rolls and I had seafood chow mein…

great catch-up and delicious lunch… we giggled because we both tried something other than our usual menu choices…

from there we headed to PTE and saw Mom’s the Word: Nest 1/2 Empty…

it was sooooo funny… we laughed all the way through it… brought home 2 delicious homemade gingerbread bars after I ate a tasty fancy almond covered cookie that had homemade jam in it… cannot remember the exact name of either of them, lol…

walked from Portage without any gloves… didn’t realize that they weren’t in my pocket… good thing it was quite warm, lol… and then found them on the sofa;-)…

restful…

today I finished wrapping the presents and put them under the tree…

also received a parcel from Ottawa with a few pieces to add to the pile:-)…

it came with a lovely card… it has a heron on it… I love herons…

was going to walk to get my hair cut but after taking out the recycling and garbage decided that it was way too slippery…

enjoying these restful days before the busyness of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day…

we haven’t had much snow so far… on Sunday I walked over to meet my family for breakfast…

snow was gently falling and it was beautiful…

stopped along the way and took this shot of snow on a truck which was right by the sidewalk…

then I got my camera out and took some snowflake pictures… enjoyed the chance to spend some time playing with the camera…

reminded me of all the times that my beloved and I would go places so that I could take pictures… I sure do miss him…

time…

well, what a busy and fun day with my boys…

they came over after an early soccer game and we met for breakfast at the “A“… first time I’ve walked over there in ages…

from there we went shopping and then to the movies… saw Fantastic Beasts, which was great… then back to the mall…

on our way home we stopped at the grocery store to pick up a few final ingredients for our supper…

the oldest grandson arrived just before our meal…

great dinner, the boys tidied up and everyone spent some time on their devices before they headed home…

our walk through the English and Leo Mol Gardens was lovely…

it was cool and overcast but it was nearly empty… hardly anyone else in the entire space…

fabulous to get a bit of exercise and spend time catching up…

it looked like one of the statues was holding up the scaffolding, lol… had to work a bit to get a photo that wasn’t too risqué… looking forward to seeing what changes will be made…

easy to spot our bench, but it looks a bit dull… well, the whole place looks that way…

fun to take pictures with my new camera and see how the plants are preparing for winter…

pleased to finally make it to the Gardens… sorry that it has been so long and I have missed all the Fall beauty…

very happy that we got through the walk without any mist…

playground…

early this morning I walked to and from La Belle Baguette to pick up some bread…

the sun was in my eyes on the way there as I walked past the park between Amherst and Sackville at Ness…

on my way home I stopped and got a few pictures of the construction… no changes have happened in this playground for thirty years or so that I can remember…

it is going to be exciting to see what the final area is going to look like…

goody…

had dinner out with a good friend tonight… nearly forgot because I don’t usually go out on a weeknight, lol…

it was wonderful to walk over to the restaurant as I’ve been rather lazy recently…

dinner was delicious and we both left with goody bags filled with leftovers…
