I enjoyed the Ferry ride

Image
   It's a hot humid morning, predicting 37 C later on. It is 11.30, started drizzling. I am in my backyard.  The flowers, red, purple, gold and white are giving my back garden a beautiful look. Scenic and eye-catching view. My son used to be busy with his wife in the evenings working in the garden. People know that they have just a couple of weeks to enjoy the outdoors. We don't have much time to do things in our garden in Canada. We have all four seasons in Canada, but our winter is a bit longer here. We try to enjoy making adjustments. Spring time will be gone and there will be Fall after. We wait for that too to enjoy the colors. The trees look great with all shades of green, yellow. bright red, orange and copper. It used to be an amazing atmosphere. We are enjoying our spring time for now. I am going for my walk to the Coffee House. The front gardens on the way looked beautiful. The plants around are loaded with all green. Yesterday was a big day for me. My childhood ...

Enjoying my morning

  It's a beautiful morning. Some mornings come with surprises. Like  Christmas. You never know which part of your body is going to give you a hard time. Not going to listen to you to cooperate. To get along with your plans for the day ahead. The same is with some of the nights. Our body is not like a robot. We go through hard times with our nights too sometimes. The nights we are not sleeping well. We will not be able to get up with the same energy to focus on to enjoy our mornings. Mornings are the face of our day. Spoiling our morning means that we are done with our day. Nights are the key to control our days. We have to take measures to manage our sleep time. At the later stages of our life they start giving us problems. So many issues start coming up as our body starts getting weaker. It becomes hard to handle things. We have to manage anyway to streamline our life. To keep our pressure down helps a lot to manage things in life. To manage our mental pressure, we have to di...

Rabbit in my garden

It's a beautiful day, breezy morning. Perfect weather to go for a walk. The trees are loaded with green.  The gardens are back to life with beautiful flowers of all colors. The grass is lush green with no brown patches in between. The blood red David Austin is still on break. I can't see any flowers. The same is with the pink Canadian roses. Everyone is different. The same is with plants. They behave and react to the atmosphere taking their own time. The small brown rabbit is sitting quietly at the right by the flower bed. A couple of brown birds with yellow patches on their belly are enjoying their morning walk under the Maple tree. The white Butterfly is whispering to the purple flowers. My son planted a white planter on the weekend with his wife. This is all so peaceful and scenic to behold. To cherish and enjoy a sort of meditation. I am outside in my back garden, sitting on one of the red knitted steel garden chairs. My son got four of these from the Canadian Tire store y...

My flower bed is back to life

  I am sitting inside the Second Cup Cafe. It's a bit of a festive atmosphere. Not happens here all the time.  It is not like Tim Hortons where you see people coming and going all the time. The Second Cup is a bit quiet with a different sort of clientele. I used to come here anytime after 11.30.  I keep my mornings for my chores. Some kitchen work, making some calls and to plan out my day plans. The weather has now changed. It is 20 C, breezy. The flower bed in my back garden is back to life. Pink, gold, white and blood red flowers adding up the beauty of the scenic atmosphere. It is the time of the year when you feel cold under shades. Feel hot under the sun. We have to pick and choose what to wear while getting out. Our coats and jackets are back in the closet for sometime. We know that things will start getting changed after mid August. We are feeling relaxed enjoying our time for now. We will handle it when the time comes. We don't have to spoil our days by thinking a...

Red flowers giving smile

    It's a beautiful morning. Bright and sunny. My neighborhood looks a bit quiet. The same is at my place.  I think people like to start their mornings late on weekends. No work, no school to be there on time. Weekends people take to get relaxed. To calm down and enjoy for a while their time at home. People like to be with their family for some time. Things start getting changed as the family grows. Kids grow up finding their own activities to get busy with friends. They are still there at home for some time. Parents don't want to miss that opportunity. To have a feel of family time, parents make a point to stay home until kids leave for their plans. I think at every stage of life things start changing. We have to adjust ourselves accordingly. Kids grow up and leave to start families of their own. Our house is no longer the same. It looks like an empty nest. No more hissing buzzing. It is so quiet. We have to make plans to enjoy our days. We are no longer busy with work ...

Enjoying Coffee and cake

  It's a perfect day today. Just have to wear a light jacket. Not too hot. Not too cold. It is 13 C, 10 in the morning.  I did not sleep well last night. Woke up at 3.30 am. I was trying to go back to sleep. Nothing was working out. I think we start feeling too much pressure at the time everyone is sleeping and we wide awake at nearly middle of the night. The first thing we have to calm down.Things will not be under our control until we are not relaxed. It works all the time. No use of tossing down in your bed. I used to switch my computer on to distract myself at that time. Get busy with Scrabble, cards and word search. It takes some time. Works out after a while. I am off today, so I don't have to go to my library for my part time job. I was not in a hurry to be out of my bed in the morning. I count playing Darts as my part time job. Nothing wrong with tricking yourself to feel good. We have a structured lifestyle throughout our life. Our days are filled with the time tables...

Birds are back from South

  It is a hot morning, 24 C feeling like 28. I don't have to go to my library to play Darts today.  I am off on Tuesdays. I have to do my laundry with just a small load. I have to make some quick calls and I will be set to leave for my walk. Summer is already here.  We waited so long for these days. No jackets, no winter coats, gloves, stoles, nothing. We are free to move around with our light clothes. Summer in Canada is not for long. We know that by mid August things will start changing. May is nearly done. We get excited to enjoy it fully. We are not house bound in our winter days too. We try to get out. Go for walks. Walks in summer are not the same. We are not loaded with so many layers of clothing. Our winter is scenic with snow around. It is so peaceful, calm and quiet. A totally different scenario in winter time. To enjoy all that we have to push ourselves in 20 to 25 C below zero. To get dressed in layers. Loaded with heavy winter coats and other accessories to t...
