No one else is supposed to understand your calling.

It wasn't a conference call.

2024 SPSH - First Link In

 Good Morning.  I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer.  Today is the first link in for the 2024 SPSH, hosted by Ruth & her Best Friend over at This West London Life; the list can be found at: This West London Life - 2024 SPSH

For this link in, these are my first finds

#2. Look up to the sky; took this photo while waiting at one of Mr Man's many eye appointments.  It's my angel in the sky.

#6 Something With Wings; for the first time ever, we have (that we noticed) Blue Jay fledglings in our garden. Just as noisy & squawky as their parents.

#9 Moving Water; I treated myself to a new solar birdbath fountain, it has several different fountain heads & I really like the sound & sight of the moving water.

#10 Something that casts a shadow; this year the ferns have been massive & plentiful

#13 Mark the passage of time; this treatment for our two Ash Trees happens every two years, it's to give them a fighting chance against the destructive & invasive Emerald Ash Borer, when we see this ring of injection tubes, we know two years have past;

#14 Your nation's flag, hanging proudly in our back garden;

Me On A Monday

 

Happy Canada Day!

O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all of us command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

Happy 157 years Canada

From The First Me On A Monday, June 8 2015

It was on this day in 2015 that I made my first blog post ... and now the time has come for my last blog post ... of course never say never.  I may post some Wisdom over the summer, just to keep the blog open & current, in case I pick up this thread again.

And before I forget, Ruth & her Best Friend are hosting this year's Summer Photo Scavenger Hunt (SPSH).  Ruth's link for the list can be found at: This West London Life - 2024 SPSH

Thank you all, for your support & fellowship over the last 9 years, it's been interesting. 💝

Me On A Monday - May 27th

Good Morning. I trust all is well in your part of the world.

Currently Reading: Just finished Robert Hardman's book, King Charles III.  It was a big book & Robert writes well, although for me his attention to facts & details can be a little dry at times in any of his books.  But over all I enjoyed.

Also on my reading watchlist is the Summer's Insider Report.  This is a paper magazine produced & given out by the local grocery chain. It's a very popular read in Ontario.  Lots of new summer products introduced; new tastes from all around the world.  

Currently TV Watching: We finished Mary Land & for us the ending was a little abrupt & not a satisfying ending at all, too many loose items, in our opinion.  We have started to watch on Brit Box, After The Flood.  

Currently Watching Nature : I'm waiting for arrival of the returning Hummingbirds. I've put out my specific Hummingbird feeder with a fresh batch of sugar water. The yellow Finches have returned & we have been getting quite a few Flickers in the garden.  The Woodpecker has given up trying to drill in our house (thankfully) & I can hear "him" off in the farmer's wood lot.  I do chuckle at myself because if you told me in my 20's I'd be a bird watcher one day, I would have laughed & said you were quite mad, but here we are.  Life does take us on some interesting paths. Oh yes & we bought a new bird bath. We have been searching for a few years now & I'm glad we waited for this one.  It is exactly what I wanted for the garden.  We have two batches of baby black squirrels, one nest in the front garden, one in the back garden.  We also have a new batch of baby chipmunks, 3 little ones at the front of the house.  Oh my they are tiny.

Currently Doing: I attended a card class, the first in 4 long years with this demonstrator. It was chaotic but good fun.  Met lots of new "neighbours". I got three birthday cards made in a style & stamp selection that I wouldn't have tried on my own at home.  

I've signed up for a free journaling workshop at the beginning of June. It is being hosted by a newly formed group "The Real Housewives".  Just their group name is interesting & the workshop is listed as "Juice & Journaling" so I'm going to assume that we will be provided with some juice during the workshop.  

Wishing my British friends & American friends a happy holiday Monday.
