10 YEAR REUNION..

I can't believe this but 10 years after my trip to Europe I am going again! yay! I promised Italy I would be back, and it will be so. Milan. Maybe Greece, maybe Paris...we shall see. I had forgotten how much I miss the real world and different spaces. travel! hope springs eternal.

THE DAYS GO BY....

Well another wednesday rolls around..today I did the laundry and went for another walk on the Don. I like this walk, it is visually stimulating as well as being good exercise..wrote letters....drank coffee..all in all a good day off. I feel I am slowly finding myself again. Reconnecting with that inner voice is so important...have plans for a painting for the living room and going to pimp my cards out to shops in Toronto...sigh...work day today....fun later...

NEW ADVENTURES...

This weekend was so great! I went for a power walk along the Don River towards Cherry beach and the trail was awesome. I found the "lampost" too! The weather was great and I really worked up a sweat. I will definitely be doing it again. Sunday I had a great talk with my Mom, I cleaned the fencing in our back yard to get it ready to paint, I called 1-800-got junk and they came and took away all the stuff that was left in the back yard and the living room so now there is so much space!! I re-arranged the living room and put up a couple of new pictures. The back yard has so much potential, I wnt to get some Adanak chairs for sun-sitting and I don't know if it will happen this year but boxes for gardening and flowers..I would like to put Hasta's in there too so pretty and pointy...

As the days get warmer, I am more inspired to cook and to decorate. I suppose this is what they call spring fever. We will be getting the flooring for our living room soon which pleases me to no end. I am looking forward to the long hot summer nights with all three patio doors open so it feels we are sitting in the yard, the cool breeze caressing our legs as we sip some luscious cold beverage and take in an old movie or two....thinking of taking the lattice's off the doors for a better view and planting some hasta's for the shady part of the yard. They are such lovely arrow shaped plants! pleasing to the eye and low maintenance. I am looking forward to this week, as I will only be working three days because of the holiday on Friday, and on Wednesday I go from having black hair with bad gray roots to platinum white! can't wait...off to shop for the weeks groceries and to make some pineapple carrot muffins. cheers! Jeff.

AND THE BEAT GOES ON...

Sunday rolls around again and I find myself wishing I didn't have to go to work today! not that I usually work Sundays, but I feel I have things I need to do today that can't be done as efficiently during the week. Started cleaning the back yard up a bit to get ready for some nicer weather, and did a sketch of the layout to brainstorm some gardening ideas....I have decided I do like my new haircut, but can;t decide what to do with the roots, black hair dye doesn't stay in it for long anymore and it looks silly. I might try and grow out the roots long enough to go bleach blonde, but I am not sure. I have been a blue/black brunette for so long I don't know if I would suit it long term. We shall see.....
