walked over and got a haircut this morning…
on my way, met up with a red fox that was about five feet away when it ran past me…
didn’t even look like much hair was taken off, but my head certainly feels better…
noticed the sad looking flower pots along the boulevard that look like mine at home…
apparently the city isn’t watering, just like me🤪…
does my hair look foxy;-)…

went just a few streets further on my walk this morning…
it was overcast and a bit cool, which made it perfect for walking;-)…
today, orange and yellow seemed to be the colours that drew me…
it is fun to look at houses and how front yards are designed… even came across an Inukshuk…
caught some geese that were flying right above me…
and had a different view of the Park bridge, ice sculpture and pavilion…
glad I went early, as not too long after I got home it rained for ages…

had a wonderful time Tuesday morning as I wandered through the English and Leo Mol Gardens…
it was the first time in months since I’ve walked to the Park… took a minute to remember which path to take, lol…
the gardens are in full bloom and look amazing…
besides the gorgeous flowers, I was able to watch a number of stunning birds, including hummingbirds, as they flitted about all the flowers…
these two photos have one in each of them, but both are rather blurry and hard to spot…
such a wonderful way to spend the morning;-)…

saw some lovely flower displays on my walk yesterday…
this house looked nice with the lovely manicured flowerbeds…
I often take a photo of this display that looks pretty throughout the entire summer…
and these flowers made me think more about changing out the grass in the front yard…

today I added a couple of books to my stair library…
picked them up at a Little Free Library on my morning walk…
both are from some of my favourite authors;-)…
this was a new-to-me library as I took a slightly different route today…

went for a walk around the neighbourhood Friday morning…
was surprised at the huge stacks of sod I spotted at one point, lol… could not figure out where it was all going to go…
lots of flowers and a few people along the way, but no books of interest at either of the Little Libraries I passed…
the weather was lovely though, and I collected a few Poke balls;-)…

went for a walk around the neighbourhood on Tuesday morning… it was a cool and sunny day…
apparently I was caught up by lilies on the walk, lol…
I did catch a few other flowers…
that was fun;-)…

had breakfast with my grandson at the “A” a few days ago…
it was a nice walk there and back…
we had the breakfast special, our usual…
on our way home we had a good look at a trailer that has been sitting near the end of the street…
it has been there for a long time… we are wondering if it has been ditched…

big girl pants, blessed, butt, cacao, daughter, family, garden, happy, Hilda the Gardener, moments, nature, plants, reading, The Leaf, time, walk, widow
on Friday I put out all the cushions and pillows as it was supposed to be sunny all day…
it is a bit of a process, because I put one out at a time, which helps me get steps, particularly as I spend a lot of time in the garden on my butt, reading…
it looked beautiful… the poppies, which don’t match my colour scheme at all, were blooming and dancing in the breeze and many of the pots and planters had flowers smiling…
I was surprised when my daughter arrived for a visit… she has been staying with a friend who has a lovely guestroom, lol… we spent a lovely time in this beautiful space, talking about everything and nothing…
she left and shortly after Hilda the Gardener arrived for some maintenance… we visited as she tidied up all the beds and pathways… it looks so nice when she is done;-)…
later as I was enjoying the space my daughter called and suggested we go to The Leaf…
I walked over to the other side of the bridge and she picked me up and we headed to the biomes…
we had a fun time checking out all the growth since she was here last year and had a lovely visit with the three cacao trees;-)…
always wonderful to spend time with her;-)…
