 I am a bit scared of 
writing about Birds 
Rabbit and Lake

 Now Onion Rings
besides oatmeal

 It all adds up Father wish List
and Hanna Kris and Niklas
Home work gets piled up

 Hannah has now onion rings
besides Oatmeal and Soup
to work out

 Kris has to take Day off or call 
sick Niklas is Target of Yelling
from every Corner

 From Teachers - Kris and of course
Father the Great

 By the way Onion Rings were
from Market I just baked it 
for Kids


It is Friday 11 degrees still very cold
we need coats I am working full time
it is 9.25 in the Morning 

I am walking on My Driveway waiting
for the black Jeep of My Friend in the
meantime enjoying the Neighborhood

 Tree with full of pinkish white Blossom
looking sad at the Front Yard of My
next door Neighbor

 Most of it's flowers are now gone
thanks to wind and heavy rain
next to that are the Twin  Christmas
Trees I think 16 ft and 14 ft tall

Both of the trees look a bit in somber Mood
I think they want to share the sentiments
of their Friend the one with White Blossom

 Who was in full bloom looking so happy
last week but you know things change
so quickly and time flies

Next to that house Tulips smiling giving
all the colors to the Front Yard
Yellow Red Tulips look so good
I started thinking about 1993 My Days 
in Ottawa

Ottawa is a small beautiful city of
Lakes and Gardens it's Tulip Festival is
always be cherished in My Memory Box

Tulips come from Holland as a gesture
because Canada played important part in
saving it's Queen in 2nd World War 

There is a whole history behind that
since then Tulips come as a gesture of
gratitude from Holland

The whole city of Ottawa is colored in
Red and Yellow all sorts of Tulips
it is called Tulip Festival

A week long festivities in the month of May
worth to watch the beauty

Anyway now my 5 minutes time slot
is done it is 9.30 My Friend is here to
pick Me up I will be back around 3 pm

    I have posted the blog in Smile Corner. This being Sunday, their lots of out of town customers too. They first went to the church where priest gave a good sermon. Customers noticed that he used a lot of words from Smile's blogs. All people then come to my shop and read the blog from today as well as the rest of the week. It appears to me that the customers are getting more and more every week as I run out of biscuits and tea quickly now.

    Dear Advisor,

    The retirees went for our long walk today. This walk, though very long for us, is nothing compared to the walks that you have. The retirees were very tired as we are out of practice for the few days. We had our lollipop after that.

    The retired author was particularly pleased with today's blog. She pointed out that the words you used provided a very visual and pictorial imagery. The retired naturalist pointed out that this blog is more in line with the spring season.

    We were joined today by young scholars. They came with a proposal to collaborate with us regarding the encyclopedia of your blogs that we are working on. We thanked them for their suggestion and have requested them for a few days before we can get back to them as we need to put this to a resolution. We intend to do that this week as we did not have the quorum today.

    Thank you
    recent retiree

    Dear Author,

    The students had a busy day today. Instead of reading the blog at the SRC, we went to the cafe to meet with the retired ladies and gentlemen. They appreciated meeting us and welcomed us warmly. The manager of the cafe was kind enough to extend a Smile discount to us. The discount was very generous, we wanted to pay more as we were concerned that the cafe could be losing money but he refused by saying that "any family member of Smile is my friend". When we clarified that we are readers but not family, he mentioned that to Smile all readers are her family

    Though we already had read the blog on our mobile devices, but we read it again at the cafe as it is much more fun that way. Your blog was very spring like and got us in the spring mode. Thank you.

    We talked to the retirees about the possibility of collaborating with them on the encyclopedia. The welcomed it as this encyclopedia will require a lot of expertise from the practicing members eg our professors as well as subject matter knowledge which the retired ladies and gentlemen can provide. They appeared to have liked the idea but as part of their process, want to have a vote on it before letting us know of their decision.

    Though it was a tiring day as we have to travel about 2 hours but it was definitely worth it

    thank you
    Literature Fellow

    Your perspicacious writings have been a perpetual fountainhead of sagacious guidance for us, our friends and our colleagues. We periodically refer to it circadian. These prudent counsel has ameliorated us considerably. And for this we will like to express our gratitude

    We have also enjoyed your literary gymnastics. Your literary genius is not only wise but also entertaining. We often discuss if your interesting characterization is better than those form Herriot and Doyle. Invariably we come to the conclusion that you all have your own genre and it is unfair to both you as well as your well known colleagues to compare your literary works

    thank you again for making our days brighter
    Dave and Linda

Bird are busy picknicking

    Beautiful morning sunny and bright. No more rain. We had already more than enough of it. Grass and flowers, don't need any watering. It is 26 C, hot day.   This is weekend, I have to do my hair color. My friend invited me for afternoon tea. I will go there. It is always good to be with friends and family. We have to accept invitations, to make our day. I think, calls are sort of blessings. Signals from God for us to gather happiness. Life is nearly the same for everyone. It is all up to us, how we take it.  Try to give color to the moments in hand. Sitting idle, doing nothing, won't bring happiness. Try to be active, do something, anything you like to do. Go for walk, to look the scenery around.  Some people like outdoors, some not. They like to be indoors. Find the spot of your choice in your garden / balcony, get book / magazine of your interest, to be happy. Bird watching is beautiful. You feel great, watching them doing things, you get involved.

     October 29th 2024 It's a different scenario today. Cloudy morning hazy sky. Sun is hiding under his gray blanket. It is Tuesday so I don't have to go to work. No Darts today at the library. It is a day off for me. I have to make other plans to make my day. Day offs are like clean slates. We have to write our schedule to fill out the columns of the day. When we have to go to work or school, our timings are all set.  We don't have to worry about how to pass our time. We have just a couple of hours left to sort out after coming back from our workplace or school. Weekends and day offs are tricky. We need some homework to fill out our day slots. Try to make it like a combo, a mixed plate to have a taste of everything. Day offs are like blank sheets. We can write, paint, whatever we want to do, to fill out. Every day is like a container with twenty four hours of consignment. It's delivered every morning.  We have to open it and use to finish it up. It all has to be done

Have a taste of Nature

      October 22nd 2024 Great morning 18C. It is like summer for Canadians. Couple of more days to enjoy the outdoors.  Beautiful leaves of all colors are everywhere giving a scenic look to the atmosphere to behold and to cherish these moments. Nature is amazing. There is always something for we Humans to make our day. Take some time off from your day today to look around. You will find beauty everywhere. It doesn't matter in which part of the world you live. Don't have to plan for long trips. It is all at your doorsteps. Keep your eyes open and take a break to smell the nature around. You will get the flavor and also inner peace deep down. It will be a rare happiness all on its own. You don't have to make any payments, any investments for that. Just a time alone slot and all the transactions will be done. It works like meditation. It's 11.45, I am at Tim Hortons enjoying my small tea, not coffee today. We have to change our menu too. It works something like a change of
