My Friend Black Squirrel still in Bed

-

 


Weather is great, beautiful morning sunny and bright. It is 7 C right now. I am done with my breakfast, sitting at my Deck, enjoying my morning cup of tea. I am sitting on my old favorite fiber knitted chair. This is the only one left out of four. Red garden chair, om my left, is looking great. My son got that from Canadian Tire, last year. Grass is lush green. My Friend the Black Squirrel is not here. May be still in bed. At this age kids have their own schedule. Sleeping late at night, getting up late in the morning. It is their time to enjoy life.

Scarlet Red, Rose pink and Deep Blue Hydrangea flowers looking beautiful in the flower bed, at the back of my back garden. My son planted all these, last evening. Some are still here, he will do that when have time. Nowadays he is busy with his Jury Duty. He has to go from 9 am to 5 pm, for six weeks. He was selected last week for that. Eleven more are there. Total twelve. No one was keen to do that. He was into it. He likes mystery and all such types of Shows / Movies. 

My back started giving me problems. It was real bad in the morning, much better now. Thanks to my Heating Pad and Hand Massager. Still not 100%. It will take a while, will be fine. Not to worry about. It is my age. What you expect with seventy plus old machinery. 

Yesterday our family friend invited us for BBQ dinner. I went there to enjoy my time. We have to avail any chance available to get out, to change the scenery, to make our day. It was good. Food is not so important. Atmosphere is everything, that matters. 

It is 11.15, I am sitting my room. No one home. It is an empty nest. Everyone is at work and school. My son is at Court House for his Jury Duty. 

My daughter, the middle one called me from Grimbsy. She was going home, back from work. It is already afternoon at her place. Her son not well, having fever. He has his GCSC exam tomorrow. She was worried for him. It reminded me of my time. When I was at her age. Family used to be everything.

Every stage of our cycle of life, is unique with it's own priorities. It's own obligations. Time flies. Kids grow up fast to fly away, leaving the nest empty. We have to value each and every moment. Moments go on slipping away, never to come back.

I am in my kitchen making banana strawberry smoothie. My son not here so making for myself only. I will make cup of tea, to enjoy later. I can see couple of birds enjoying their time, having chit chat, walking around in my back garden. It is a scenic view to enjoy, to cherish.

  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
