Fairy Tale Period Now Ending

7 Landscaping Ideas for Beginners | Better Homes & Gardens

 


Saturday -- Beautiful sunny morning 19 C will be 33 later in the afternoon. It is 9.15, I have the whole day to do things, whatever I want. Mornings are like clean slate. We are at liberty to write anything on, paint any picture, to beautify our day. 

I am done with my breakfast, enjoying morning tea, sitting in my TV lounge. Sports Channel is on. My son watching Highlights of some Hockey game. Toronto Maple Leaf team is out but Playoff season is on. I am watching that and also enjoying the beautiful view of my back garden. 

My youngest daughter just called from Reading. She loves gardening, showing me her beautiful flowers of orange, yellow, purple white and of so many other colors. She was proudly showing her kitchen garden plants. Full of blooming tomatoes, cucumbers, Mint and other Herbs.

It was very hot in England, yesterday was thunder, I don't know what is the weather today. May be they got some relief. Most of the places, there is no AC, so tough to handle hot days. 

I remember, last year I was there in July - August period. I was in Grimsby with my middle daughter for couple of weeks. She was looking for extra fans but no luck. Fans were out of stock. 

Houses not so spacious in Europe as in Canada. Not possible to store extra things over there. In Canada more land, not enough people to fill in. Over there, in England, it is other way round. 

Europe looks full of life with people around while here in Canada, it is a bit quiet. Every place has it's own beauty, it's own identity. Same is with people. Every person is different with his own beauty, his own identity. His own habits. We have to accept. Nothing wrong with that.

My daughter the middle one is enjoying her time in Scotland with her family. Sending me pictures from there to share. Tomorrow will be her last day. The fairy tale time period will be over. She will be back to her real life.

My other daughter, who lives in Kent, still busy with her car hunt. Her car was done now she needs another one. Looking for a good car, which can also fit in her budget slot. It will take time. August running out. She needs before her school time, in September.

Things are not going well with my eldest daughter. She is in Edmonton, Alberta. Oil boom period is done over there. Now job conditions are not good. People are worried, want to leave. Because of Pandemic, things are nearly the same at other places too. Job cuts and businesses are closing down. 

Let's hope for the good. Things will change. Have patience. This too shall pass. It is just a matter of time.

  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
