I'm enjoying the Glimpses I get here. I noticed the redwood 🌲 so perfectly formed compared to the fir trees.The breeze just starting, the warmth from the sun feels great, perfect? I think so, no travel today, a walk around the neighborhood earlier, talking to friends I've never met before, I'm sure I'll meet again. I'm very fortunate to have the ability to talk with others, making friends so darn quickly, I surprise myself sometimes, as I walk away thinking, WOW, that was great 👍.
Today I met an older woman as I stood infront of her home, I really liked how the arbour was covered in Ivey, that's what caught my attention at first, the shape. Then as I looked I realized there was much more to this place, I continued to move left a little seeing more as I moved, first the flowers, then the pumpkins hanging, then the covered walkway, that's very cool, ya don't see that often I thought.
Then as I was thinking about how beautiful the display was, the front door opens, and an older woman comes out, she spoke with an accent, German maybe, I'm not sure I didn't ask. We talked about the covered walkway, I said how beautiful it was, like Chinese looking with the scallops under the roof. She said there was a covered walkway in the back to the garage too. She said her daughter did the decorating, of course I said how good it all looked. Then the unexpected, she asked me if I'd like to look at the other walkway in the back? Yes, that'd be great.
So off we ploded, through the carport, seeing her daughter cleaning the pond I said Hi, and the conversation just ran, from the pond, to the garden, to the covered walkway, the garage, the storing of stuff, I was in awe actually. They were so welcoming, I learned that the daughter has to clip the Lilly pads, and take them out now, it's what she was doing, they grow back in the spring. The whole pond was fenced, and wire mesh over it too, I asked about birds trying still to get in? Nope, they stay away now, the fish are safe. Racoons, that was also a problem, but no more now. They were swimming in the pond the daughter said.
We had a really nice visit, I forgot to mention the older woman before I left told me that she has both her daughters living with them, and her grandson, nice to have help with what needs to be done. She said she bought the house about 8 years ago, sold her small farm in Abbotsford and moved here when prices were decent. I forgot to mention that she had a bunch of colours dyed in streaks her hair, I didn't ask, I just noticed. No judgement, just was pleased to have had this morning conversation and tour of their yard.
So getting back to my way, I just fall into the conversation. Thinking about it I just ask a question, ❓ that leads to another, then I shake my head at how it happens.
Fortunate I say, just fortunate to have the welcoming ability.
The breeze a little more now, but still light, still relatively quiet, just a few more cars moving about now. Afternoon is here, people get moving now.
My sister in-law is coming over today, Polly has been busy making a cake 🎂 for her, her birthday was earlier in October, Polly didn't call this time, Lyn did giver her a shot about not calling, Polly wouldn't give in that she'd forgot, she remember, but wasn't sure what day it was.... LoL 😂 🤣. I gotta here the chat that's going to happen when she gets here 😂
Well I did accomplish something, I finished my hotdog 🌭, and my coffee, and took a few photos, and wrote this blog. Oh, and I really enjoyed the sun outside my shop. Yep, I'm going to love this new adventure, staying in one place of our own for awhile.
Love our Life ❤️
