Image
Summery days, hot mornings. Flowers blooming, grass lush green.  Birds around. Squirrels are busy playing hide and seek in gardens. People planning for parties outdoors. It is time to hit roads, waters and trails. We People have just a couple of weeks to enjoy our summer in Canada. We try every chance to make use of it. We were waiting for a long time to enjoy these days. We know that we have to bundle up after a while in our intense winter days. We are enjoying our time for now. We will handle whatever will be there in the coming days. We humans are able to make adjustments accordingly. It is 8.30 in the morning. I am out of my bed. I used to switch on my computer the first thing in the morning. I check the weather to coordinate with my day plans. It is 37C for now. It will be 43 C later on. I think it is better to go out for my walk now. I will have a quick breakfast and will be ready. It is 9.15, I am leaving for the Coffee House. It is hot and humid. There's nothing a total pl...

Beautiful Moments

  It is a hot morning with 41 C, it will be 43 degrees later on. Every season is intense here in Canada.  All four seasons come in full bloom with full intensity. We can have a feel of every season and enjoy the flavors of each. It was just a couple of weeks ago I had to use a jacket and gloves for my walk. It is totally a different scenario now. Tough to select what to wear in this temperature. One of my grade five school friends just called. She used to live in London downtown, Regent street. I have great memories of staying at her place for a couple of nights. We used to go for our day out plans.   Museums, gardens, restaurants, Que Gardens, together we visited in our good old days. Things change. She moved to her daughter in the Netherlands, visiting her brother here in Canada. She is leaving tomorrow, so she called me. I don't know if it is a good bye or if we meet again somewhere, some other time. We never know. It is a small world, a global village. Let's see. Her ...

So much green around

  Beautiful morning, great weather. It is 11.30, 20 C, perfect to go for a walk. Not too cold, not too hot.  Flowers of all colors are in full bloom. The grass is lush green. There is so much green all around. It's time to cherish your moments.Time to enjoy the outdoors. Summer season is not long here in Canada. We value each and every moment we can avail in these couple of months, June is nearly done, we have only July, and from mid August things will start changing. It reminds me of England. My daughters from there are talking about the weather over there. It is too hot. It's not easy to be without fans. We feel lucky to enjoy this cozy weather in the month of June. My garden is back to life. The pink Canadian roses plant is loaded with flowers all around. The seasonal flowers of all colors, golden yellow, purple, white and blood red are adding colors to my garden. Looks like the flowers are smiling, enjoying too. Squirrels are playing around the trees. The two tall trees in...

Enjoying time alone

Image
   It is a beautiful morning after a couple of hot days. It is cloudy, still not gloomy. Hazy with overcast not dark at all.  We don't have to turn on the lights. We are enjoying the drizzle, the view. Scenic to behold. The red, gold, purple, white flowers all look happy taking their morning shower. The pink Canadian roses are enjoying the most. They are dancing, shaking their bodies with a big smile. It is Sunday, 11.30 am. I already planned my day. I will walk to the coffee house with my tablet to write my blogs. I will take calls too over there. I usually stay there for a couple of hours. It is good to be with your own company for a while. It works like a meditation. We need some time alone for our own selves. No interruption. No outsider has to be there. Sometimes we need to talk alone with ourselves. Listen to our inner thoughts. It helps to get peace inside deep down. We don't have time for that so often. There has to be a time slot planned in our day schedule. Not ...

Rabbit in my garden

  Spring is the time of revival.Time for things coming back to life. The trees around are no more like skeletons anymore.  They are loaded with greens. The gardens are also lush green. No more brown patches in between. Squirrels are playing hide and seek in gardens. Running up and down on trees to enjoy their time. Birds are! on tree tops calling each other I think to join the party out. The small brown rabbit just came enjoying his feast in my back garden. He loves grass. Sometimes he enjoys some of my flowers too. It is a hot day, 11.15 in the morning 29C. I am getting ready for my walk. The summer time is different. Easy to dress up. No more getting ready with layers, heavy coats, gloves and woolen stole. I have a couple of light tops to wear on summer days. It is just a few more weeks. Things will start changing from mid August. In September we will need jackets to go outside. We are enjoying our time for now. Not thinking about the days ahead. We learned to adjust our Can...

I enjoyed the Ferry ride

   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

Image
  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...
