Wintry days

 No photo description available.

It is 10 in the morning, 2C below zero. I am done with my breakfast. 

Everyone in the household is sleeping. My son is away for a couple of days enjoying with his old Uni friends in Las Vegas.

I am sitting with my computer browsing Facebook messages. Checking the weather. It helps to decide what to wear to go for my walk.

We have to make sure not to put on too many layers, it will be a bit warmer afterwards, and won't be comfortable while coming back. We have to give time to select our dressing. It is the key to make our trip and also the events enjoyable.

My garden is not the same. The Maple tree now is not with many leaves. Lots of coffee, bronze and gold colored leaves are scattered in my garden.

The grass is still green. The flowers are taking an exit. Some of the rose pink, golden yellow, white and purple seasonal flowers are brave enough to face the frost of night time. Two of the Canadian roses are there too,  not with the same broad smile as the days ago.

We are slowly entering into our Canadian winter days. Our light  jackets are now at the back in the closet. It is time to bundle up with heavy winter coats.

Time flies, things change. Change is the beauty of life. We don't feel stagnant. We keep ourselves busy with making plans to cope with the days ahead. Change gives us power, helps to keep us moving on.

Enjoying my coffee

  Great morning. Beautiful day, a bit cold. It is 11 C, I have to take out my fawn color sweater to wear underneath my jacket. That will be perfect for this weather. Every night is not the same as our days. I had a good sleep last night, got up early to start my day. It is 8.30, I am in my kitchen making my oatmeal porridge for my breakfast. I won't be having tea /coffee at home. I will walk to the coffee house to get my coffee. It's good to check the weather before starting your day. It helps to chalk out our day plan. The weather shows light showers from 11 am. I have to pick my red umbrella, my favorite one for the way back from the coffee house. I am all set to start my walk. The trees around are still green. Golden yellow, violet and white flowers are giving colors to the atmosphere. A couple of pink roses are also here by the side of the Burger King. Enough to make my day. Life is the same with ups and downs. We have to come across some bitter moments too while passing th...

Time to take a break

  It is a cold bright morning of the 6th of January. Chances of freezing rain ice pallets later on.  My walk outside is on hold for a while. Safety is a priority for everyone. We have to be extra careful at the later stages of our life. It looks like a different scenario with snow all around. The trees are decorated with white powder and loaded with cottony flowers. It is so peaceful, calm and quiet. Winter is the time to take a break. To stay indoors. To focus on your inner self. Time to talk to yourself. To listen to your inner thoughts. Time to take a break from your busy schedules. Every season has its own beauty. Its own identity. We can plan accordingly, to get busy and enjoy our time. We humans are amazing. We can make adjustments with any of our surroundings. Winter is the time to skate to play ice hockey. To plan skiing and ice fishing. It's time to hit the water. It is the time to take a break from hitting roads and trails. We have a different scenario for now. Birds...

Take a break slow down

  Beautiful morning. Great scenic atmosphere. Pink Canadian roses are smiling. The grass is lush green.  A couple of birds are having a party in my backyard. Two squirrels are playing hide and seek under the Maple tree. The small brown rabbit is sitting quietly on the left side. I think he is enjoying his own company and is here to behold the scenery too. It is early morning 8.30, I am sitting on one of the red knitted steel garden chairs. I am having my breakfast on the deck, like to be a part of all these beautiful moments to cherish. The sky is like a clean slate. An untouched canvas with a couple of grayish abstract sketches. The entire atmosphere is so peaceful, we can sit quietly here to meditate. The atmosphere is loaded with the fragrance of flowers. My flower bed at the back is looking beautiful with golden yellow, blood red, white and purple seasonal flowers. The red garden chair my son got from the Canadian Tire store years ago is at the corner to lie down to relax....
