Front Yard Sidewalk-Garden Ideas | Better Homes & Gardens

















Wednesday -- Cloudy cold morning 5 C, rain on the way. It is 9.15,
I am done with my breakfast, sitting in TV lounge. My son is busy 
with his computer. News channel giving Virus updates. 

 I am watching through the big glass window, in front. I can't see any 
activity in my back garden. It looks windy. The pear skeleton on the
left is shaking. I think shivering, feeling cold. No leaves on it's body. 

 The blue trampoline, in the center, looks composed, facing everything, 
with courage and patience. No birds, no Black Squirrel. All staying home, 
may be in bed. I think, it is early, to get out.

 It is 10.15, I am in my room, with my computer, talking to my daughters.
April is nearly done. May 2nd will be my Birthday. I will be one year
older. Already old enough. One more year will be going down the drain.

 At this age, we don't know, we have to celebrate, or just let it go. 
I mean, have to take it like any other day. When I talked to couple 
of my Club members, no one was happy, rather scared as their 
birthday getting closer. 

 I am not scared, try to think like any other day of my life. I will be 
one more year older. I have to do extra work, go extra miles, to trick 
myself. Have to make more plans, to keep myself away from thinking 
negative.Try to stay focus, to think positive. 

 But from my mind, I keep on getting reminders, "this is your special day".
Mind works like a power house. It makes decisions and directs our body 
to work accordingly. 

 I have to go with my mind, have take it as my special day. I spend my 
special moments with my son.To mark it as my Birthday celebrations,
I go to eat out, or to have tea together.

One of my Senior Club friend has same date of birth. We push each 
other to celebrate our seventy plus Birthdays. We eat out to enjoy together. 
Last year, she was in Florida, she called me from there.We celebrated 
our belated birthday, had fish and chips treat.

 We had our birthday plans for this year too. We never know, what 
will be the next. She lives in Pickering, just 5 minutes away from
my place. But now things are different. We can not go anywhere. 

 We will make calls, for birthday wishes.Things change, we have 
to accept, whatever is there.This is life. Enjoy the moments in hand. 
Present is everything. Don't wait for tomorrow.

Dear Readers I am not getting your comments because of Glitch.
My Retiree Friends, please try to stay positive. This too shall pass.
There is always light at the end of tunnel. Keep that in mind.

 Try to keep yourselves busy with anything, to get away from 
thinking negative. Do it like a ritual. Life is gift from God.

 We can not get it ruined, and let it go waste.
It is our responsibility, to take good care of this 
precious gift of ours.

  January 12th 2024 It is around mid of January. Time for us to, start getting snow storms. This will be off an on, for the next couple of weeks. It is 10.15, mixed sunny cloudy morning, windy too. Gusts are 38 to 48 km.  Friday used to be my work day, not today. Kids day camp is going on in the library, at my work place. I am off for the whole week. I have to find my own things to do, to get busy. From Monday, things will be back on track. I will be having my regular work hours. It is 11.45, I am getting ready to walk to Tim Hortons. I take it as my second home. I know that it is cold and windy. I am all set with gloves, stole and three layers underneath my winter coat. I will be fine. Whites Road and walkway is, all clear of snow. I see some white patches of snow, by the side of road, under trees and bushes. This is the beauty of Toronto, snow cleared right away. It looks like a usual wintry day. No snow. Everything working, normal routine. Nothing stops, so is my walk. I am at Tim H

  July 7th 2023 It is hot sunny morning, 9.15 and already 24 C, feel like 26. I woke up early, done with my breakfast. Talked to one of my daughters, my middle one, called me from Grimsby.  She was going home, done with her work. It was a brief talk. She was busy, picking up her son, on the way from school. My other daughters are still at work. They will call me later on. We talk everyday, not much, just to connect.  I am busy with my computer. No message from my childhood friend. She never skips, must be busy. She was at her son's place in Sydney, was planning to go back to Perth, to be with her daughter. She must be stuck, other matters to be resolved. Anyway we have to find our own, "Things to do", to get busy, to make our day. Don't have to wait for people's calls and messages. I am busy playing Scrabble and Card games on my computer. Computer is sort of Blessing for me. I don't know how my Mom used to pass her time without phone and computer. How come she

  June 13th 2023 Beautiful morning. Great weather. It was raining all day, yesterday. Stopped at late night. I was working, Mondays are my work days. Have to go to play Darts. It starts at 9.30 in mornings. We were thirteen all together. Picked our numbers to make teams. Two boards with four teams. Three players in each. One team was odd, I mean with four. Anyway we enjoyed. Thirteen seniors on a rainy day, out to play, to enjoy time together. Amazing at that age. Gives inner peace. Boosts will power with affirmation that we still can do it. Rain or no rain, nothing can stop, to make our day. I think, will is everything behind your motto. When there is a will, there is always a way to go ahead, to move on, to do what you want. Today is Tuesday, weather is great 18 C, a bit on a cooler side. I am off, not working on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Last week I booked my flight to England. My daughters were pushing me for that. Asking me to come, to visit. Travel is too demanding at our age. Too
