I took this photo of this American Kestrel
tonight after dinner. It is only the second time I have seen one of these gorgeous little birds!

Cool Wet Spring
Lots of fog these days and it makes for very wet drippy mornings, I love finding spider's webs!
I am slowly getting things planted, it was cool today, the temperature hovered around 10° C. The sun did peek out this afternoon!

Spring 2015, I've been lost in time..
It's been a very long time since I posted on my blog.
The grief I had been feeling since my sisters passing
four years ago held me back from doing things I loved.
I miss her every day but I need to get back to things.
I bought a new camera in March after getting a chip on the lens of my old Canon. I bought a new Nikon Coolpix P900, an advanced point and shoot. I absolutely love it, especially for taking bird photos! I can feel myself becoming obsessed with birding! Such great fun!

Happy New Year
January is already starting to fly by…
Our son and his girlfriend flew out early this morning,
our Christmas vacation is over.
The house is so quiet, I miss my kids.
I wish we lived closer together.
Mark and I went to the beach before dinner, brrr.
We sure didn't linger there for long,
what a cold winter this has been so far.

First Lake Freighters of the Season
I saw my first boat of this autumn season out on the Lake this afternoon,
it is always a thrill to see them!
then as I sat here at my computer I spied another out on the horizon,
so I took the photo through the screened window

My Left Knee Progress
Time is flying, it is October already
I had surgery on my left knee just over 3 weeks ago. I went in to have the torn meniscus cleaned up, but once the surgeon looked at the inside of my knee decided to do some micro fracturing too. It is a slow heal. I am still on crutches, but am light weight bearing, thank goodness, as I am not good on crutches for non weight bearing. I am still mostly house bound, and unsure of what I should be doing or shouldn't be doing.
I am looking forward to being able to go for a walk outside, or to even go to the grocery store..it is a lesson in patience.
My left knee a few days after my surgery a few weeks ago.

September snuck in...
Time is flying, the first week of September has almost passed.
In July I hurt my left knee, I had a MRI last week in the city and saw my family doctor yesterday to get the results. I tore the meniscus in a few places .. boy oh boy .. it sucks to be getting old. Lucky for me there will be an orthopaedic surgeon here next week and he had some cancellations. On Monday morning I will have surgery to repair my left knee again.
This isn't the way I thought I would be spending the last weeks of summer and the beginning of autumn, but I am grateful.

Happy Summer
Hello!
I haven't been around much.
Two cats have been keeping me busy, busier than I imagined.
I have also been in the birch bush, then in the gardens. I am not finished with the gardens just yet. Still edging my neighbours garden, and will plant some sunflowers that I started in flats, over there. I will plant them here too, as well as the pole beans I also started in flats. They usually getting eaten off by creatures if I plant them directly into the garden.
In February I joined our local biggest loser group hosted by our medical clinic. I am happy to say at our last weigh in for the summer that I am down 11.7 pounds, I have lost 6.3% of my body weight!! Whee, I was very happy and excited yesterday when I got on the scale. I haven't lost any weight in the past month, but I haven't gained any either, so I am maintaining. I must get back on my weight loss band wagon, I still want to lose 15 or so pounds. I did 13 days of green juicing but was stopped short by a family tragedy. I would like to start juicing again, I felt really good while doing it.
Our lilacs are just starting to come out in full bloom as well os our ornamental crab apple tree. It is finally starting to feel like summer.
I will try hard to post more regularly..
Enjoy the summer!

Blue Ice, Spring Snow Storm, April 6th, 2013
I absolutely love the blue ice on the beach this afternoon. We are having a spring snow storm, snowy and very blowy. It was really cold out there, and the wind was driving the snow into our eyes. Hehe, I didn't want to come home, I was mesmerized by the vibrant blue ice. The blue just seems to pop in the grey of this snowy day.
I love it!
