Trimming the roses...

The joy is two-fold.

The roses get cleaned up and your joy increases with the beautiful

fragrance and the bouquets you

can create.

Happy weekend...

Lovely flowers, thrifting,

crafting, FaceTime calls with Claire,

emails, gardening, teaching, sipping wine...

it's all a very good life.

Happy weekend!

"Time is an equal opportunity employer. Each human being has exactly the same number of hours and minutes every day. Rich people can't buy more hours. Scientists can't invent new minutes. And you can't save time to spend it on another day. Even so, time is amazingly fair and forgiving. No matter how much time you've wasted in the past, you still have an entire tomorrow."

Back at home...

As much as I love being away from home for

a holiday or joyful

Claire duties,

I do love being back home.

All of the flowers grew so much in the week we were gone.

I was overjoyed that I was still able to enjoy my peonies.

I styled my thrifted finds and I must say I am so

pleased with my

"New Pyrex"

issued to celebrate Pyrex's 100 anniversary!

The joy that is Claire...

Endless amounts of energy and love.

This is Claire.

The cousins...

Jim and Wayne are cousins and you can

really see the resemblances.

We always have such a great time with Wayne and Jo-Ann

when we get together.

Catching up on each other's families and of course the grandchildren.

A wonderful lunch and oh the strawberry pie!

It was simply delicious.

Jo-Ann is such a keen gardner.

Her roses and peonies were spectacular,

her begonias just starting to

appear.

Look what a beautiful bouquet I get to take to

Port Coquitlam when we see Claire today!

Lucky me.

A bit of time away...

Visiting friends in Sidney by the Sea,

Looking after Claire for the long weekend makes it a good time

for a bit of an excellent adventure.

I have always loved the ferry ride thru the

Gulf Islands.

Catching up with old friends, seeing family, loving Claire,

new sights, sounds, food and thrifting possibilities.

It's all very good.

A beautiful day...

Just going to the garden centre can

lift anyone's spirit should you need that.

I go to take photos and learn about new plants.

I am never disappointed.

Here are a few photos of what is blooming in our garden,

as well as what I took photos of at the

Dogwood Garden Centre.
