White Butterfly is here to make my day

Image
  It is 8.15, Friday morning, no rain, not too hot. Beautiful day 18 C now. Just done with my breakfast, enjoying my cup of tea, walking around in my back garden. The dew drops looking great, scattered like pearls on the lush green of my grass. The Peach and Red color David Austin roses are taking a break, same are the Pink Canadian Roses. I think they need some time off. Everyone needs that. There are variety of other flowers, to fill the flower bed of my garden, but Blood Red white streaked flowers of Dahlia looking really wonderful, like cherry on top, adding up the beauty of my flower bed. My friend, the White Butterfly is also here, to make my day. It is 8.45, I have to go inside, have to get ready for my work. End of the tour of my back garden. I now started working part time, playing Darts, two days a week, from 10 to 11.30. I have to be there 10 minutes before. We are only ten people allowed inside with Masks and social distancing.  Cases are going down in our province...

David Austin smiling, Rabbit enjoying

  It is one of another hot humid days of July, 9.45, in the morning. I am busy with my breakfast, enjoying my oatmeal porridge, stir fried egg and my morning cup of tea. I am sitting in my eat in kitchen, beside my patio door. From here, I am having a clear view of my back garden.  There is lot of activity going on, in my garden. Couple of birds having chit chat, also talking and whispering to flowers. I think  sharing jokes. I can see  the Red and the Peach color Roses, David Austin,  started smiling. The small  Brown Rabbit is sitting beside, enjoying too. I think, He is part of their group.  I am enjoying everything. What a beautiful start of my day. Today no car, so no lake trip for me. I have other plans ready, to get busy, to enjoy my day.  I try to avoid, to use, " To Pass my Day ". It looks sort of depressive to me. Like we have no choice, we are stuck. Have to do things, without our consent.  Have your plans B, C and so on, read...

Flowers Ducks and Seagulls

  Beautiful hot humid morning. It is 9.30, 31 C now, will be 33 later. I opened my patio door to be outside. It is really hot and humid. I changed my plan to walk around  in my back garden.  We have to be cautious. Safety comes first. Specially for we seniors.  Not good to be a burden for our kids. Not fair to them. We have to realize and keep that in mind, before being adventurous.   It is end of July. T hese couple of weeks are always tough. We have short memory. We forget so quickly.  It happens every season. From mid August, things will start changing and in September, will be a total different scenario. We have to take our jackets and gloves out, start getting ready for the days ahead, for snow and sub zero temperatures. It is 11.30, I am at Petticoat Creek. It is Tuesday, still very busy with people. Kids from Summer camps. People busy with Kayaking, fishing, walking with dogs, family and friends. Every season has it's own style, it's own beauty....

My Morning Cup of Tea

Image
  Bright sunny beautiful morning. Sun is shining up and above in full Bloom. Red Roses are smiling on the brick red mulch, in the flower bed of my back garden. The peach color David Austin is taking a break. Taking time to settle down. Every person is different, unique, has his own individuality, so are plants. It was rain and thunder last evening. There was Tornado too in the nearby town, in Barrie. Barrie is about an hour away from Pickering. Houses were damaged, power was down, widows blown off. Lot of damage there. We got rain here in Pickering, but not much, just for couple of minutes, still enough for plants to have a shower. It is morning, 8.45, I am having my oatmeal porridge, stir fry egg with my morning cup of tea. I am sitting in my eat in kitchen, beside patio door. From here, my back garden looks great. I am enjoying the scenery. I am done with my breakfast, going to enjoy my tea at my deck. It is good to be part of the beautiful atmosphere. We have so much to behold, ...

Pink Roses Look Shy

Image
  It is 9.15, mixed sunny cloudy, humid morning. I am done with my breakfast, now walking in my back garden. Three Red Roses giving me smile from the flower bed. Two Pink Roses look shy, still giving color, adding up the beauty of the view. It is great experience to be part of the atmosphere loaded with fragrance.  My friend, the White Butterfly is also here, to make my day. She is busy talking to the flowers of her choice, sharing her moments to cherish. It always gives us pleasure, to be with friends, we love to be.  My friend, the Black Squirrel is also here. He is walking around, busy with his morning walk. I think, he is done with his exercises. He is an early riser, use to come for his exercises, early mornings. He takes the wooden fence of my garden, like his Gym. He takes care of his body. Looks smart. My youngest daughter just called me from Grimsby. She is at her sister's place for couple of days. They are making plans to enjoy time together. She was talking to ...

Put Your Heart into it

  Beautiful mixed sunny cloudy morning. Raining for couple of days, off and on. It is 9.50, I am just done with my breakfast. No car today as my daughter in law has to go to work, in person, on Fridays. I have my day plan handy for today. We always have to keep Plan B ready, to deal with, whatever is there. I am planning to go to "Metro" for Blueberry Muffins. They have good bakery stuff.  I will go to "Dollarama" too, to get chocolates and some other things. It is good store with variety of things, under your budget. I got socks, pack of six for four Dollars, last year from there. These are done now, have to get another pack. Kids love chocolate. I keep box full of variety of chocolates, in my room. They come to my room to snack, once a while. I get happiness out of that. I have my small bag ready, with Masks and empty bags, don't have to get bags from the store. We have to keep track of the environment. Have to reuse our bags for shopping, whenever, we can. I ...

Love and Hate Relationship

Image
  Beautiful morning. It is hot today, 28 C, feels like 36. Last night, was rain with thunder and Hails, but no change in temperature. It is still hot and humid. It is 9.40, I am in my room, with my morning cup of tea and my computer. I got up late, I was awake but my body was not in a switch on mode. Sometimes, we have to listen to our body, don't have to push hard.  Mind and body has a carrot and stick  sort of relationship. Our brain works like a Powerhouse for our body. It decides, what to do. Sets the direction and transmits work sheet to our mind, for " Things To Do". Mind starts playing tricks  to push our body, to get going in that direction.  I think, Mind and Body have  a "love and hate" relationship, still are real  "Buddies". They feel for each other. One goes down, the other comes forward to cheer up the situation, to balance things out, to maintain the equilibrium.  My youngest daughter, just called me from Reading. She is packing gif...

David Austin Taking a Break

Image
  Beautiful morning with clear skies. Perfect weather not too hot, not too cold. It is 19 C, was rain last night. Everything in my back garden, looks great after having shower. Pink Canadian Roses, on the left, smiling in my flower bed. The Red Rose on the right, started budding, will open up in couple of days. The peach color, David Austin is taking a break.  Sun,  up and above,  is shining in full bloom. Deck is still wet. I have to skip my walk on deck. I am enjoying the scenic view, through the big patio doors. We have to take precautions, whenever required. Safety comes first, especially at our age. We don't have to be burden for our kids.  Our kids are already tied up with so many things of their own. Busy with work and matters of their own family. We have to be considerate. Try to manage  our own  things. Don't have to bother our kids, for our day to day matters. Have to find our own hobbies, our things to do, to get busy, to enjoy time on our o...
