The still of Sunday morning walk.

I didn't go far, around the block, enjoying the calm and quiet of this morning. The deer 🦌 we saw the other night was here, now I know why the apples off the neighbors tree are getting cleaned up. He wasn't afraid, I walked out to the road from our place and he kept eating. 

Down the road to Redford st, then past what I know as the hospitality inn, checking out the partly burned up garage, wondering how long it will stay like that? A trailer in the next mobile home park was on fire this past fall or winter, still not a thing done to it. So I wonder about the garage, if it will stay like that, all the vinal siding melted and wood all burned. 

As I walk to the end of the block, about to turn the corner I hear the sound of a buggy rolling further up the road, I turned to look, and it stopped. Quiet again. Even now as I sit in our sunroom writing this, not a sound. 

I walked the block down to the next road, Maitland I think, then as I turned I noticed a cat watching me. I put my hand down and over he came, happy to have a pet, rubbing my hand and arm, I'd seen this cat before, on a previous walkabout, very easy to pet, was a nice little break. 

Now as I walk he follows, just till the end of his property, then he stops. I continue up the road, looking at how people have taylored there yards and homes, one hedge in particular was very well manicured. As I get close to the end of the block I hear the crows, they're taking to each other, caw caw. Then I noticed as I looked up the sky was giving a beautiful show of the colours ya just can't recreate, pink with grey of what will likely turn into sunny warm day. 

           wires in the photo 

I stopped, brought out the phone/camera and tried to get the photo that best represented what I saw. Electric wire in the way, telephone poles, I ended up in the middle of the street taking what I believe is the best shot. Didn't matter, not a car around, still quite, well until the ambulance starts it's run up burde st, went along ways up before it quit. 

         The best shot I could get of 
                  the eye in the sky

Then quiet again, except for the crows, caw caw. 🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛ I took a few more photos, then walked back towards our place, deer was gone now, so we're a bunch of apples. 

In our house I go now,get another coffee ☕, and here I am writing this. 

Kinda a really nice Sunday Morning 👍🏻

I hear a car, then another, I'm the the world's waking up now, 6:14, yep people started moving about. 

Back to my coffee, and listen the the crows talk. 

Love our life ❤️

Great memories are nice to relish as we build another batch of great memories ❤️

I'm so happy to have people in our life that enjoy with us the moment's that remind us how fortunate we are in this life ❤️ 

A small celebration helps us plan future fun times, and gives us another great memory. Is that what it's all about? Moving from one celebration to another? One memory to another? For me it is, each with a story, each with a time in our life that is exceptional 👍🏻👏🏻🤗❤️ 

Then there is the time ya sit back and recall after, how really good the moment was. Today that's my thoughts, how fun yesterday was, along with today and how we'll be creating more great memories. 

Working and getting stuff done is really important, and memories are created there, but the time's we get together to celebrate, those are some of our best memories. The moments we laugh uncontrollably, the moment we gather to give a hug, be closer, just enjoy the moment. 

Yep, yesterday was stellar, for me. Everyone that came enjoying the food, and family stuff, making each of us fuller, not only our bellies, but our hearts too ❤️ 

Till the next great celebration 🎉 🤗❤️

I really love our life ❤️ 


Watched a really good movie today 🤗

Did ya hear the thunder? I did, but we missed the huge rain here in Port, report from our friends in Courtenay was amazing thunder and rain, monsoon.

Woke early, but great sleep, except the part where Polly had her hand on my face feeling around, was kinda weird, a dream I'm sure, as I asked "Are you awake?" No response, LoL I just told her now after we'd finished the movie, so funny. 

I'm having one of those perfect moments this morning, where everything is just great! We all, I believe, have a day or a moment like this every once in awhile, today is mine. Polly as she head's out the door to check her plants says "Is it going to rain here today?" LoL, I wonder sometimes if she thinks I know everything 🤣🤣🤣 "I don't know. But believe it's finished rain here today 😊" I say. 


The movie was "Gifted" a really good movie, I wanted to watch with Polly. I like to wait till we are together to watch what I believe will be a good movie, this one had us both in tears a few times. Great way to start a really good day. Coffee ☕ ☕ x2 and breakfast was eggs 🍳🍳x2 🥓 bacon x2 potatoes a bit of leftover pork, and toast x2. Then after a couple more toast with Americos Mmm 😋 good blackberry jam! 

Perfect? I think so, scraped every bit outta the jar good. I thanked him again ❤️
