Skeleton Trees are Back to Life

-



 It is Tuesday, nearly mid of April. Beautiful weather, sunny and bright. It is 11.15, I am busy with doing my laundry. Small load of my clothes, is in washer. It is 12 C, sky is clear, light blue in color, no clouds. Grass in my front garden looking beautiful, all green with just few brown spots. Magnolia tree on the left, started budding. I can see green tinge in the bodies of the skeleton trees around. Things are going to be changed, back to life.

It was raining last night. April showers, May flowers. Flower bed in my back garden will be filled with flowers of my choice. It will be scenic and colorful to enjoy not for me but for birds and butterflies too. I can't wait to see my friend, the White Butterfly. Every season is unique, brings it's own beauty for we Humans to enjoy. 

It is Tuesday, Garbage collection day in my neighborhood. Blue, Grey and Green Bins, all are lined up by the Driveways. Cars staying still, on driveways for orders to move. Some are hiding inside. No one is outside. It looks very quiet. 

My household is also quiet for now. My eldest grandson, the Lucky Guy is at work. My Youngest one, the Slurpee Boy is at school. My son is busy with his computer, so is my Daughter in law. I am in my room, sitting beside my computer, browsing my Facebook messages. My black Lexus is shining under the sun, on my driveway. I am enjoying the view of the outside, through my window. 

My childhood, Grade five friend visiting her sister back home, She was staying there for two weeks, going back to Perth Australia, in couple of days. She use to write me every day. It is nice of her. To connect with friends, specially of your age, is something unique. We share the moments spent together and also our day to day matters. We can relate what we talk. We are on the same wave length.

I am off today, will go to work tomorrow, to play Darts. Checked my calendar for "Things to do". I washed my Hair yesterday, did my hair color too. I do it, myself, easy at home. Don't go to saloons. Laundry done today. Now will go to my kitchen to make something, to put on the dinner table for my family to enjoy. Spreading happiness around, is very special, gives inner peace and contentment.

When we are at work or at school, we have our fixed schedules, nothing to worry abut. When we are retired, we have to chalk out our schedule to fill in our day slots, to keep ourselves busy, to stay at right track, away from negative thoughts. Such a simple Recipe to live a happy life.

  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
