Thought Of The Day

    Beautiful bright and sunny morning. The weather is also great. It is 12 C at 9.30 in the morning.  My household looks a bit quiet. Some have gone to work in person. Others are getting ready to leave. My grandson, the youngest one, is sleeping. He is done with his uni, enjoying his time at home. My garden is not the same as the days before. The gold, white and purple colored seasonal flowers are gone. Just a couple of red and pink flowers are there. David Austin already left, weeks ago to take a break. Three pink Canadian roses are also here to give color to my garden. The grass looks beautiful, green with all the gold leaves scattered on its top. Not much left on the body of the Maple leaf tree in front. My friend, the Black squirrel, is busy with his exercises on the wooden fence of my garden. The small brown rabbit is enjoying his breakfast on the right side of my deck. The glass top of my steel garden table is shining under the sun. The red knitted steel garden cha...

  The weather is up and down like a roller coaster. I was wearing a long, fawn-colored sweater underneath.  I also had to take gloves and stole to handle the weather for my walk yesterday. It was not early morning. It was 10.30. Today it is much warmer, 11 C at 10.15 in the morning. I don't have to bundle up. I will take just my light  jacket navy blue with the royal blue combination. I love it. Perfect for this weather. The weather is great for now. I have to do some laundry. My comforter is a bit of a huge size, not heavy, still not easy to put in the washer. I don't wash it every week. I used to wash it a couple of weeks after. Today I have to do laundry for my comforter and change my bed sheets and towels. My days to travel to England are getting closer. I have to start packing, putting things into my suitcase. I have to sort out what to take there. So much to do. Long list of things to do. We have to prioritize our things. It helps to stop our mind from getting clust...

  It is Sunday today. One more week will be gone. Days are slipping like the moments in our life. Another new year is closer by, just a couple of weeks to go. My trip to England is just a couple of days away. My daughters are excited, making plans to enjoy the time with me together. I am excited too, still under pressure. Travel nowadays is not the same as years ago. I used to carry two suitcases free of cost. Not anymore. I have to pay even for one. My limit is 23 kg. I have to pick and choose to carry what I need over there. Anyway, I will go for that. Kids are busy with work and with the matters of their own family. Not their fault. It is their age. Parents have to go.  We have to make plans to keep connections alive with our kids and their family. The weather is great, not too cold. Not below zero. For now I am getting ready to go for my walk. Time to enjoy the colors and the beauty of the nature around. Packing is not urgent. I will think about that later.

  It is 10 in the morning, 2C below zero. I am done with my breakfast.  Everyone in the household is sleeping. My son is away for a couple of days enjoying with his old Uni friends in Las Vegas. I am sitting with my computer browsing Facebook messages. Checking the weather. It helps to decide what to wear to go for my walk. We have to make sure not to put on too many layers, it will be a bit warmer afterwards, and won't be comfortable while coming back. We have to give time to select our dressing. It is the key to make our trip and also the events enjoyable. My garden is not the same. The Maple tree now is not with many leaves. Lots of coffee, bronze and gold colored leaves are scattered in my garden. The grass is still green. The flowers are taking an exit. Some of the rose pink, golden yellow, white and purple seasonal flowers are brave enough to face the frost of night time. Two of the Canadian roses are there too,  not with the same broad smile as the days ago. We are...

  It is the middle of October. The time of change. Change from summer to winter. From spring to autumn.  This is the time to take a break. Break from the busy active schedule to calm down. Time to relax. To revive your inner thoughts. To focus on your indoors. Time to sort things out. To check out the things you are not using for months. Time to give away. My garden is still giving a garden look. The grass is still green. The flowers there though are not in good shape. Not with their broad smile. As days before. So many left to got on a break. Still some here, enough to give color to my garden. David Austin is already done. It won't be coming back till April next year. A couple of Pink Canadian roses are here. Bright pink, golden, purple and white seasonal flowers are managing to survive in these colder days. The day temperature is going down day by day. Today it is 6C at 9.15 in the morning. I am getting ready to go for my walks. I have to get my sweater underneath my jacket....

Great morning, beautiful day, a bit breezy, cool. Today I will change my venue.  Change is good. It adds colors to life. We have to go for a change to have a feel for it. I am going to walk to the Tim Hortons. It was my second home till last year. It has been renovated, looks not the same as before. I was hooked up with the old decor. Anyway we have to go for a change sometimes. I have my dentist appointment at 12.30, it is closer to Tim Hortons. It is 10.15, enough time to enjoy my walk and my coffee over there before my appointment. The sun is shining in full bloom. Great bright and sunny day. It is 18 C. I don't need any jacket. Don't have to bundle up. Just a light shirt will be perfect. I am wearing my favorite navy blue shirt. I got it from the Oxfam at Purley, London. I got it while visiting my daughters in England years ago. I think we don't need branded dresses to cheer ourselves up. Our dress has to be cozy and click to our taste. Taste of colors and to the desig...
