PL Calendar day 25 There is no reason to hold back
If you skimp on the paint, then your painting will not turn out well. Live a fulfilled life every day, by utilizing things, money, your knowledge or energy to their fullest
Not every day is a rainbow of colour, but every day there is movement and changes. Nothing in life stays the same. Let Go, Let God.

I waited and waited , but didn’t want to miss the moment, so snapped. The human I guess gives it a flavour. The place was busy, being a mid Friday afternoon, I was lucky. The sun was so bright, it out shone the lights on the decorations.
Happy Saturday everyone! Remember, feelings of appreciation, only become real, when we express them. ………thank you =^_^= yes, YOU, to each and every one on you who share my world.

Good evening everyone…
With a busy day, a stressful afternoon, and a stomach that was being quirky, I just wanted to zone out… crash in my recliner and daydream. It wasn’t happening, my mind just wouldn’t settle. So, I called my sister. She had just made herself a yummy lunch (different time zone) of freshly made Gazpacho with fresh produce and some tasty pasta.
In her part of California, they were experiencing record highs (heat) so she came up with a zesty dish she could enjoy chilled. Talking about her recipe and the thought of something similar I was inspired to get up and check out what was in my kitchen.
To my delight when I looked out on the deck I saw that a plant we had been nurturing for the last couple of years had bloomed. Wow… I had no idea, I found the plant next to a dumpster in the West End, looking very pathetic, didn’t know what it was, but I saw it, and another plant that looked like a vine, Liked the look of them so brought them home.
They have been watered, and simply tended. In the spring they go out on the deck and in the fall they come in. Nothing was expected of them. The vine grows nice big green leaves, they fall off during the winter, and return in the spring, no more no less. The one you see above, looked like it was just surviving, When I saw the bloom it was a real treat. I put out a “what is this” on Instagram, my cousin in Halifax replied “hibiscus”
Isn’t family wonderful!
PL Principle # 3 I will live with a mind of appreciation towards others and things.
We always have choices, we can dwell on negatives, or we can enjoy the positives, show appreciation and be rewarded, with more happiness and contentment in our daily lives.

How wild does their garden grow
wow I don’t know said Mr Crow
For years now I come to explore
each passing year brings new colour in the rows
see the roses are in full bloom right now
& cherries are forming on the trees
come back in a week or two
the Saskatoon berries will be a feast
bring friends, this garden is here for us
nice meeting you Mr Crow,
my name is Jay
in a flash of blue he was off
cawing as he flew
I’ll be back to see you soon
Rosco chuckled as he flew higher up the tree
life is good when
friends drop in showing appreciation and enjoy their visit
he liked being called Mr. Crow
Mr. indeed, and he chuckled some more
could he be getting old
in full voice, he cawed and called out
Happy Sunday everyone!
PL Principle # 3 I will live with a mind of appreciation towards others and things
Why?
I tried, I wanted to
I even brought my pens with me, I planned it all, the lined pages,
pristine white, blank pages,
for days I even practiced the different styles of lettering
anticipation high, time to doodle and write.
Yet when I got to where we were going,
Not once, did I use the pens to practice my lettering
The pads of blank pages, came home empty.
Why?
It is the journey, the living each day that is important, obviously, while away my time was filled with happy moments, new discoveries, a sense of adventure and of course, the cherished company of a wonderful husband and our two frisky “canine children”

Interesting door, the little house was nestled on the main street of a small town in Ontario. It begged notice. I was intrigued with the half seen figure that could be seen from the road. A charmer on an otherwise ordinary street.

Wear a smile today, share happiness and laughter with friends.
I will tell you no lies…
instead of being weed free
this year, this garden patch was left to be
what a surprise to walk by and find
that the fall colour
and nature’s design
presented such a pretty sight
for my eyes
truth be told
I got bold
and asked that I be given a sign
on what to have for supper
what I was given
was a package of frozen clams
sigh, not really what I had in mind
but I did ask
so here it is
clam, fresh okra on a bed
of fresh Japanese noodles
enough said
I’m off to partake
of the bounty on my plate
see what happens
when left on my own
no questions asked
you get
the mix and match
that rolls around
in my cluttered head
have a delightful day ahead
till then
smiles will bring my day to an end.

When we had our new fence put in, we had to remove a cement/rock border along part of the driveway.
I see the pieces every time i come down the driveway, and for some reason, I am not wanting to just “get rid of them”.. they stand there like our own version of Easter Island “statues”.. waiting… watching.. standing guard
There are still pieces like this along the front edge of the property. They have been there for years, and are very much part of the landscape. the iron fence seems to be very much in harmony with them. They just “are”
You can just barely see the top of one if you look along towards the fence. Not wanting to disturb the blue spruce the rest of the edging will stay where it is.
