My Dear it is a Combo

  It is a Rainy day with overcast skies. Thing looking great after having shower. Everything so bright and beautiful. It is still drizzling. Beautiful view in my back garden to behold. It is 9.15, I am sitting in my eat in kitchen, enjoying my breakfast and also the view of my garden through my patio doors. The newly organized flower bed, by the side of the wooden fence, is looking great. It will take a while for the flowers, planted, to flourish, still  the flower plants, transferred from pots, giving a beautiful view, spread all around on the Brick Red Mulch. My Deck, built last year, looking great. I think, it is of Cedar wood color. Clean, shining after the rain. Couple of birds are around the bird feeders. My son got another bird feeder from Dollarama, to hang on the tree. Birds keep coming all day long, Rabbit comes mostly for Dinner. I think, watching his calories, I am in my room now, done with my breakfast. My youngest daughter calling me from Reading. She is going home, done

  Sunny bright beautiful morning. It is 25 C, feels like 30. Hot humid day ahead. Chances of thunder storm, will be hot feel like 36 C, later in the afternoon. Time to change of clothes. All jackets, gloves, stoles are going back to closet. Have to look for light shirts and tops, from under, somewhere in my suit case. Our AC is switched on, to 24 C, from the last week. 24 is fine, not too hot, not too cold, works for everyone, not for me. Sometimes, I have to use fan on top, that works for me. We have to make adjustments, while living with family. Nothing is total plus. Being eldest, we have to give extra share. Have to do more, to contribute in the household, to make the atmosphere peaceful, to live in, for everyone. It is 9.30, I am sitting in my eat in kitchen, having my breakfast, my oatmeal porridge, stir fried egg and my morning cup of tea. Yesterday my son and my daughter in law, were busy, working in the back garden. They got flower pots from the Canadian Tire Garden Centre, tr

Open Letter To My Dear Readers

Image
  Yesterday I got some comments, after long time. Comments are like letters from you, my Dear Readers. Give me power to write my Blogs. After going through your comments, I am asking myself, " I  am able to make any change in the Lives of my Readers " ? Answer is, " No ". All is the same.  Indian people, in the Retiree Group, are the same. They  succeeded with their fundraising but  didn't let the  Hijab lady friends to do that. They made sure to stop them from  fundraising.  They keep on  exploiting things, twisting facts, to achieve whatever, they want. I am not happy with the attitude of Indian people. This is selfish approach, I believe. The retired Priest also is the same. He keeps forgetting that his job assignment from God, is to make people happy and not to  take smile away from people's faces.  He always brackets himself with the other group.  I wish, my Blog Reading Sessions be out of politics and Religion. I will keep writing for that, let's s

Not a final "Good Bye", We will be back

  Beautiful morning, shining day. Sun is out of the hazy, misty skies. Brown Rabbit is back, he must be gone for his vaccination, day before. Red birds not here. They come once a while to my bird feeder. I think, they are watching their calories. Black Squirrel is here, enjoying his morning walk. Such a beautiful scenic view, more than enough to make my day.  I am done with my breakfast. It is 9.45, now I am in my room, with my computer. All set, ready to connect with my loved ones, with my family and friends. Pink  flowers giving me smile from the top of Magnolia tree. Not many flowers left there. Just couple of weeks back, the tree was full of flowers.  Flowers are now losing ground. They know, they are done, have to leave the space to give the floor to leaves to flourish, to fill the space. It is turn of the leaves to run their show. Flowers are leaving, but not with heavy heart. They, still playing their part in beautifying the atmosphere in spreading happiness around, as much as t

Pink Flowers Smiling From Tree Top

  It is 9.30 in the morning. Sun shining in full bloom. Cold, cloudy mornings, I think are gone or taking a break. It is Canada my dear, I still have to take my light jacket and woolen stole, while going to lake, in mid May. We have variety of jackets, stoles, gloves and caps in our closet, for all seasons.  I feel lucky, living here in Toronto, while my daughter in Edmonton has to deal with 50 C below zero. She has to use special boots and  special tires for her car.  Winter is very long, nearly seven to eight months over there. N ot easy to handle the bulk of snow. Not possible to remove right away so snow removal is not so frequent as here in Toronto.  We Humans are amazing, learn our lessons to adjust and enjoy with whatever is available. People go for ice fishing, get busy with snowmobiles, go for Skating and other such sports, to enjoy on ice.  I am sitting in my eat in kitchen, having a view of what is going on in my back garden. It looks a bit quiet, just couple of Black birds

Slow Down To Smell The Roses

  It is 9.15, beautiful morning, Sun is awake too, shining magnificently on the clear blue sky. There is so much activity going on, in my back garden. Couple of Black birds are busy with their breakfast on my lush green lawn. Having chit chat and are walking around. My friend, the Black Squirrel is here too, busy with his morning exercises on the wooden fence. This fence is like a Gym for him. My steel garden furniture looks great, especially the newly purchased Brick Red chair from Walmart, is shining on my Deck. Beautiful view to behold, to start my day. Brown Rabbit is not here, May be, he is still in bed or getting ready. Two red birds, the Northern Cardinals, not here. They come once a while. May be they have other activities, to get busy. It is good to manage your day like a day tight compartment. Not to leave any space for negative thoughts to enter. It is 10.15, I have to do my hair wash, I don't wash my hair every day, not many left. Just checked my calendar for my work to

Two Red Birds in my Garden

Beautiful morning, after many mixed cloudy mornings,  sun is in full bloom.  It is 9.15, I am enjoying my breakfast, sitting in my eat in kitchen. This is  my favorite place,  from here I can see the view of my back garden. Small brown Rabbit is having his morning treats, on my lush green lawn.  Two small Red birds, the Northern Cardinals are here, in my bird feeder. I was worried, missing them for couple of days. They must be busy with something else or following stay home Directives, after Covid tests, now back.  Small black birds are also here. They are our regular visitors. I see them most of the times in my garden. I think, they live nearby, rented their apartments somewhere, in the tall trees of my garden.  This Covid thing changed our lives. No visits, no gatherings, no travel, just stay home and walk around for exercise. We are living in a different world, have to follow all the Directives. It is not easy to handle this new life style.  But I think, this stay home order, helpin

"Take Away" Slot

  Another beautiful morning, another twenty four hours in my account, available to do whatever I want. It is 9.30, I am enjoying my breakfast in my eat in kitchen. I love this spot. It is next to patio doors, from here I can have the entire look of my back garden.  There is lot of activity going on in my back garden. I can't see any small Red Cardinals but small brown and greenish yellow birds keep coming to my bird feeder. Number of pitch black birds are also here, enjoying their feed on the grass, under the bird feeder.  I think, birds spilled their feed, which is now on the grass, available like a free treat, like a "take away" slot for everyone.  I notice birds are coming to have food and fly to the nearby trees. I think they have rented apartments over there. Beautiful view to behold.  to brighten my day. My son is in the middle of meeting. I will make stir fried egg and cup of tea for him, so that he can have his breakfast too. We never have to miss the opportunity

Paid twenty five dollars for my wax

  It is 9.30, I am in the middle of my breakfast, sitting in my eat in kitchen, beside the patio doors. It is another misty cloudy morning. Rain is in the forecast. TV is off as my son is in the middle of his meeting. View of my back garden, is sort of calm and quiet. I can't see any red bird, the Northern Cardinals in my bird feeder. May be they were here earlier. L ast night I didn't have good sleep so  I woke up a bit late this morning.  Couple of weeks back, I was with my son at Costco. He had to pick up his glasses. There is a separate Optical and Hearing Aid Centre at Costco. My son told me to check with the Audiologist for my ears. I found out that my left ear is full of wax.  I checked with my Physician, he told me to put oil at night time, it will soften the wax, to slide out.  I was using my right ear for head phone and putting oil religiously for more than a month, nothing working out. Last night, had a feeling that my ear is full of oil. That feeling was enough to d

  Dear Friends Got your comments late night after more than a month.  I am happy to know that some of you my friends are already vaccinated and others looking forward to get the vaccine. Do it whenever you can get the spot for that.  This is a must for our own safety and for the safety of other people around.  We like to see our world, out of this Covid thing, to  lead a normal life after. Everyone has to join hands, to contribute in whatever way, we can. Have to follow the Directives. Keep social distancing and use Masks whenever required.  Dear Friends in Ireland I am happy for you people to get vaccinated. Please go ahead to vaccinate as many people as possible. People from out of town,  also need to be vaccinated. This is a must to keep everyone out of Covid.. I admire everyone of you. Thanks to my friends, the Councilor, the Health Officials, specially to my friends, the front line workers.  Everyone of you making effort to make this mission possible. Thanks everyone of you my fri
