alarm, double trouble, and "I heart you"

1 The birds wake me this morning with a lovely chatter. Is it possible that they have that much to say?
2 An amazing brunch with G and B then a walk along a lovely beach. The tide is low so we are able to walk for ages. We see sunbathers, kite flyers, fireworks and a lovely young lady is sitting on a big log eating a chocolate Easter egg while the sun radiates on her face and the wind whips her hair in every direction.
3 Just a reminder to him that I'm with him even when we're apart. Best love to my guy today.

walk about, caught, and arrived

1 The weather is perfect for another walk and a small group of us head out to first to the river then to an abandoned mine. The river is already dry in spots which is unusual for this time of year but the mine area is lush with greenery and mossy spots. At the end of the trail is the river again this time flowing fast and freely. It appears that the dry riverbed we found was where the river was diverted.
2 The lilies catch my eye and my lens. 
3 Every once in a while something or someone is at the right place and the right time and tonight it's just that. G has come for a visit and it's perfect. 

gardens, lounging, and Maslow

1 The gardener gets the trees moved and replanted, soil moved, and the drive cleaned up and he does it in record time of 3 hours. Can't be that!
2 A nap on the back patio is just what was needed this afternoon. I curled up on the lounge and let the sun permeate my body while kitty purred loudly beside me.
3 Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. I've heard of it but never really investigated it until today. Things to think on.

step by step, change it up, and cat up high

1 They say the lessons we need to learn the most are not the easiest. I'd have to agree with that. Today's coaching session was enlightening but also very powerful and challenging. Moving forward, one step at a time, followed by a giant leap and then more steps. 
2 You know it's spring when  you change from flannel sheets to soft slippery cotton ones and a lighter blanket. 
3 The cat finds the windowsill in the office and paces back and forth intrigued by the view. 

walk on wednesday group, planted, and gamers

1 Our walking group is small today, just five of us. We head to the ocean and an old camp for children that's being demolished after years of neglect. The property is being turned into a walking park with walking trails and lots of protected vegetation.

2 The neighbour gives me a couple of plants and they are already planted. It's really  quite amazing what I manage to get done when there's sun to inspire me.

3 The frog is back in the space where the hot tub motor is. I hear him jumping about under there and so does the cat. It's an unusual game of cat and frog. 

good call, noisy boy, and greening up

1 He calls to tell me a bit about his day and what it's like up in the wilderness of northern British Columbia. Let's just say for starters his orientation package includes training on dealing with grizzly bears. They say to just let the grizzly go about their business and leave them be, but also to carry bear spray. 

2 The raccoon makes a racket out back trying to get into the bird feeder. Kosha darts inside when I crack the door and the raccoon takes a hike after I toss a piece of kindling at him. Boy is he ever huge!

3 The plants are thriving in the green house. This winter I'll be sure to overwinter the geraniums. They look great already.

training, time to grow, care package, and from the children

1 I've started training for a Goddess Run in Victoria happening this June. I'm doing the 5k and am really excited about it. Victoria Goddess Run
2 What a glorious day it was today. The sun just made everything that much better. I picked up some seeds, bedding plants for the greenhouse and a couple of larger plants for the back area. A bayberry and a forsythia.
3 Sara tells me that the children at their school were thrilled with the goodies I sent to them. They didn't get to see it all yet because Nick and Sara are planning Easter festivities with them and they want to surprise the children. They did share the tattoos and I'm extra happy I sent lots! 
4 The children from the tutoring classes send me a voice message that says, "Thank you Nick's Mom."
