Bad Haircut Result...

A while ago I went for a haircut.

I came home and examined the haircut.

Bad haircut in my opinion.

I thought... "How can I manage this?"

Go and find your curlers and curl your hair.

Curls hide a multitude of sins in my opinion.

I have had so many compliments!

Makes me wonder...

"How bad was it before...?"

This hair curled feels old-fashioned to me.

Almost time for hairdresser attention again.

Where do I go?

I feel uncertain right now.

I'm sure I shall know what to do when the time arrives.

Patio Project Progress

Painting cornice in thebathroom,

and struts for the roof-to-come.

Pause to Refresh...

 This rock looks like a giant tortoise doesn't it? 

The pink lilies are starting to flower on the forest walk...

They are beautiful.

 Sweet little blue flowers blooming along the ground under the trees.

I loved the 'pattern' in this ground cover.

Visiting the Botanic Garden helps me keep unspotted from my world.

Promise of Rain...

We went down to Thyme Restaurant Little Falls for supper last Friday.

Gorgeous promising clouds...

very little rain.

We are thankful for every single drop!

We went for a meandering drive Saturday afternoon.

Wonderfully cool and cloudy.

Very little rain...

And periodically a drenching downpour!

"God's in His heaven... all's right with the world."

from the book "Pippa Passes."

Patio Project - January 23rd

 We have a sliding door for the new bathroom!

It needs painting now, and a trim for the top of the rail.

Finicky work...

Well done Glenn! 

Thank you! 

A Needed Weekly Retreat

On a bench at the Botanic Garden.

"All the flowers of all the tomorrows

are in the seeds of today."

Indian proverb

Indeed.

I enjoyed watching the family of guinea fowl near the waterfall.

I'm so glad I took our children paddling in the waterfall pool before they closed access.

A little boy was crestfallen to spill his crisps on the grass.

I was glad to be able to take a couple of pictures

of the group of guinea fowl from closer up.

This is for you Samuel and Isaac!

Ethan's High School Concert

Glenn, Vi and I went along Tuesday afternoon to the 3pm 

grandparents' performance of Ethan's grade 8 concert - 

new High School learners' concert.

I loved the stained glass windows in the hall.

And their school motto...

Some scenes - 

Ethan is in the back row of the group below - 

the right one of the two taller boys near the centre.

Huge intake of newie grade 8's!

A riotous school war-cry led by the prefects (I am told)

after which the school song was heartily sung.

Final words from the coordinating teacher.

A good way to spend those probably one and a half hours.
