If you are a fan of the mystery series out of Australia, Miss Fisher, they you will recognize, this home, as the home of Aunt Prudence.
The above is Miss Fisher’s home, the day my sister and nephew visited there were signs that they would be filming from that location later in the week. I really enjoy this series, not only for the time (period) pieces, but the wardrobe the star of the show, Miss Franny Fisher wears.
This is a time in history, where I enjoyed the architecture of the homes, and the fashions of the day. That Australia has such lovely buildings from the period would entice me at some time in the future to board a plane to see them for myself. I have seen wonderful architectural buildings from the Art Deco period on Florida..
Having a sister who loves to globe trot has its benefits =^_^=… I can appreciate she does all the packing, waiting in airports, doing tours, and jet lag. My nephew, whose photography you have enjoyed, follows in her footsteps. For now I’m content to be an armchair traveller.
Appreciate what others bring to you that enhances your delight of new experiences .. =^_^=

Out of the night, the eyes stare down and fix on the emotion and passions of “desire” the colours shout and harmonize to dominate the midnight skies. Fireworks in the sky …Q
My sister’s colours, charm and delight with the quiet passion of one who colours from her heart, bright and cheerful and full of warmth. Mother’s Pansies …… V

In this case, my sister lovingly sought out and found this material and presented it to me. I loved it.. I wanted it to be something that would be used, and appreciated every day. I don’t get to see my sister every day, she lives in California, but I appreciate her every day. This pillow graces our bed, so every day, she is part of my daily life. A sister is a precious gift, I am lucky and have two =^_^=

Hey everyone, look, a salad. it just isn’t any salad, my sister made this salad. So what is the big deal, well let me tell you. When my sister was here visiting (from away) she had a bite with us, where my husband had made one of his super delicious salads. She liked it so much, that she savoured that experience till she got back to CA, and then made one up for herself.
Hers is different, it is her own taste buds that went to work to create the vision you see above. No two people will create the same masterpiece. Like friendships, we are all unique in what we bring to the relationship. I love my sister, she is my sister, however, when we were out one day on an excursion, we met a lovely lady in a Tim Horton’s.. neither of us knew her, but we sat with her and enjoyed the visit.
At one point in the conversation, my sister said, “we (she and I) were getting know each other”…. ding, it registered with me.. WOW it was true. just because we are sisters, doesn’t mean that we really know each other, we lives miles apart, and see each other only so many times a year. Our daily lives and our “habits” or the way we go about our lives, is really unknown to the other.
Her making this salad and sharing the picture with me, brought home, how special she is, and how much I do love her, as not just my sister but a friend. One that I hope to get to know better over the years to come.

We were three sisters, out for the first time in our adult lives, on a day trip. What a time we had, due to the distance one sister has to come, this was a very special and rare occasion. Speaking for myself, I rediscovered a full belly laugh, silly laughing, and just plain fun. Over time. we forget just what sisters can be like together when on their own. No other family members, no husbands, children etc. Just the three sisters. The further we got from “home base” the sillier some of our behaviour became. Can I give you specifics no… but there were times when we laughed so hard it was freeing. uninhibited and to onlookers maybe a tad ridiculous. But we didn’t care. We were having fun, the innocence of children at play.
The middle sister seemed to forever be saying…. let’s be positive, we’re here, let’s just enjoy ourselves. Hmmmm those moments seemed to happen when our grown up habits snuck up and popped up. It is hard at times to really just cut loose. However, we did put our best effort into it, and had one fun time. The happy face is still with me today.
May each and every one of you have a lot of happy moments today. Remember to smile, if someone is not smiling, give them yours. =^_^=
Thanks to my sister, I had a great walk on the Quebec side of the river today, Yes it rained off and on, but it didn’t deter us from our mission. For her it was “must” stop at Tim Horton’s for toast and coffee. When you drive everywhere, it was a nice change to do this little “hike” from my Mother’s to the Timmy’s down the way. Walking I found that there was a little creek that runs along the sidewalk. AND, that we were actually walking uphill and that by car, it is much easier =^_^=.
The first part of our walk had us in a big box store shopping center. However the walk home was through one of the trails in the Gatineau Parkway. The Gatineau Park lands extend for miles and miles, it was nice to see so many runners, walkers, and bikers out enjoying the day. For me I was thrilled at being in the woodlands, hearing last year’s fallen leaves crunch under foot when I trekked off trail to inspect a tree that caught my fancy. Seeing my first butterfly of the season!
In the summer once the leaves are full, and the ground cover has risen to its full height, many of the treasures being discovered today will be hidden from view. The skies were mostly overcast, so the pictures are showing you the day as it was. It was beautiful, quiet,the earth had just enough moisture in it to give us that earthy smell that can be so intoxicating.
I could spend hours marveling at the way the decay in this tree is unfolding into a work of natural beauty. The insects, bugs,birds,worms, and of course the elements all have had a go at putting their imprint on the tree.
These ducks were swimming about in the pond till we came along. I stopped to take pictures and the casually swam towards us and walked up to the walk where we were standing.
How cool was that. The whole day was perfect…. I got to spent time with my sister who is here for a visit.. walking, talking and just enjoying the day. Something we have not done in years. It didn’t matter the forecast was for cloudy skies and rain, being together was sunshine and the rainbow in my day. I hope you all had a great day too.
