concert, grandkids, planting, soccer, weather

started out the day by planting a cherry tomato before I headed off to work…

it was a gorgeous morning and I was happy to have the few minutes to get my hands in the dirt and water everything…

planned to come home and do more planting, but got a call around 3 advising of a band concert…

in the end, went to a soccer game for the youngest grandson, for about five minutes, then on to the band concert, where during a jazz band performance our guy played a super solo…

20140604-231222-83542380.jpgthe sky was amazing and just as the game ended, the raindrops started… happily we were safely in the car when the five minute downpour let loose…

busy day…

we do love to talk about the weather…

got a great shot of the sun shining on trees across the street this morning as I waited for my ride…

now that it is warm and sunny, not sure what we have to discuss, lol…

20140410-213448.jpgI’ve been taking pictures daily of the snow melting in the backyard… kind of fun to see it going down and have a record of it…

big girl pants, driving, snow, weather

started the day driving to work in a snowstorm… it was warm but the snow was coming down and had been for most of the night…

it was early, as we had an event… by the time I got to the office I could barely see through the windshield as it was iced over…

when we returned to the office the snow had stopped and it was quite nice…

when I left to come home it took a while to clean off the snow and ice which covered the car…

the drive wasn’t too bad although there was lots of mushy, dirty snow on the streets and it was a bit slippery…

a little while ago I went by the window and lo and behold it was snowing again…

here’s what it looks like…

alarm, amazing sky, big girl pants, cool and windy, Fazes Hair Studio, hot tub, Michael Buble Everything, rain on the moon roof, slept through alarm, sun through clouds, weather

I know I am tired when the alarm goes off and rings for 15 minutes before I wake up… this is extremely rare… my usual pattern is to wake up about five minutes before the alarm – which is Michael Buble singing Everything – goes off…

glad that tomorrow I cal sleep in… although usually that means I wake up early anyway, lol…

strange weather day… it was cool and fairly windy this morning when I headed off to work and stayed windy throughout the day… a colleague went for a walk around two and it was lovely, even with the wind… the sun was shining and it felt quite warm…

left the office at 3:30 to get to the hair salon and it was cool and windy… as I drove the sky was amazing, with the sun behind some clouds casting some wonderful sunbeams through some lovely blue sky… quite breathtaking and I was able to enjoy it for much of my trip…

while inside at the salon, apparently it clouded over and rained, and when I left it was still raining a bit… once in the car I looked up at the moon roof and had to take a picture of the beautiful design the raindrops had made…

blustery on the way home and after getting in the house looked out the front window to see the sun coming through the clouds even as it was raining… took a few pictures…

sun coming through the clouds as the rain was still falling...

it is still blowing out there, but I expect it will calm down in an hour or so… usually when I head out to the hot tub around 11 the wind has died right down… we will see…

Alaska cruise, alyssum, George with me, hot tub, look after me, nesting, robin, tennis ball exercise, weather, what tomorrow brings

one of the first things I saw this morning out the front window was a robin filling it’s beak with old alyssum bits…  it gathered up a huge amount and then flew off… obviously in the process of building a lovely nest…

robin gathering nesting materials...

made me think a bit about my nest and how it feels rather empty…

later, when I was driving to physio, I was feeling a little sorry for myself… wishing that George was with me, to look after me…

was thinking how he would have enjoyed making sure that I did the exercises prescribed by Tori… today’s included a tennis ball to roll around on my hip…

realizing there are fourteen days to my Alaska cruise and I still haven’t read all the information that arrived in yesterday’s mail… and I need to start checking the weather along the coast to see what it is like as the days get closer…

beautiful night, with the new moon and lots of stars when I was just out in the hot tub… will see what tomorrow brings…

hoarfrost, moon, purple, recreational, trees, weather

wasn’t going to do anything today… a day to rest, as tomorrow and Sunday will be busy…

last night before bed I took some nice shots of the moon through some trees behind the house… I had been on my way to bed but it was so beautiful that I had to run and get my tripod and camera and take a few pictures…

moon through the trees...

so this morning when I woke up to fog, I took some pictures of that as well…

had a lovely time cleaning out a portion of a closet…  it was great fun to pack stuff up to give away, dump things into the recycling and garbage and find some space…

then I called and booked an appointment for a hair cut and purple and got in right away…  took my camera when I headed out because there was gorgeous hoarfrost on the trees…

the house with the lonely tree...

after my hair appointment I drove through Assiniboine Park and took some pictures… later I spent quite a while on the computer uploading the pictures and organizing…

trees covered in hoarfrost...

driving through the Park reminded me of the fun George and I would often have there… I took pictures of some trees that we often stopped at…

it was a lovely day… very re-creational…
