A Trip, An Injury, and Waiting

I haven't been in the mood for blogging lately and won' be blogging for the next couple of weeks.
I am heading to Alberta to help with a move and get my Miles and Riley fix.
 



 
I am still nursing a bummed up shoulder and it is making me feel a wee bit down.
Yes Yes I know I need to go see Dr. F  and probably will once I am back.
I hung up the knitting needles and crochet hook for awhile.
I can't believe how much I miss it.
 
 
I did do a 3 season Downton Abbey marathon.
You are all right it was amazing.
But wait --- Season 4 --- January 2014 you say?
I know it starts in the fall in the UK so I am hoping to do a download (Shhhhh secretly don't mention it to anyone)
 
I hope by the time I am home I see a lot of these.
 
 
Wishing you all a perfectly glorious .......................

Weekend Snippets

Weekend Plans
 
Cowboys and a bit of knitting.


 
 
 
Repainting some stairs.

 
 
 
A much needed pedi.

 
 
 
A brush and a clip.


 
 
 
More knitting

 
 

A looonnng convo with my sister in Nova Scotia

Not the most flattering pic of either of us but there was a bit of alcohol and copious amounts of makeup involved


Organising the "stash"


Not mine but close enough


Made the decision to refrain from knitting or crocheting for a wee while.
It seems to be aggravating my sore shoulder.

Oh and my orchid is blooming!

Spring?


Note Card Party

 
Couldn't resist taking my camera to the local florist and taking some shots of the beautiful flowers there.
Can't wait for my garden tulips to peak their little heads thru,




My Nana called these little guys Sweetheart birds. To her their mating call sounded like "sweeeetheart"
 
 
This guy visited our yard a few times this winter.
Didn't really stop the action back there for too long.


My lovely hibiscus. I have had for over 10 years. She comes into the house for the winter and graces us with beautiful flowers. Then she spends her summers outside gracing us (and a few hummingbirds) again!
 
Linking with Vee @ A Haven for Vee
For a Note Card Party
 

skyping and a move

Hello Tuesday.
Well it is looking very winter wonderlandy out there this morning but
Thank goodness Mama Nature just did not have it in her.
Maybe 10 - 15cm?
I have a wonderful neighbour who is coming later today to clear the driveway,
 
Skyped with Miles and Riley last night (of course with my beautiful daughter and son in law too)

Suckers after a successful trip to the doctor



They are such chatterboxes these days.
Ang can bust some mean dance moves.
"Nona" is still a hard one.
Nana (which can mean banana too), Nono, Nonny.
I will take any!!

I don't think I mentioned they are all moving to Strathmore (east of Calgary)
Dan got a transfer to the office there with a FT position.
Of course it is not what this Nona wants but
Its a better job and they have found a nice half house with 3 bedrooms.

And I am going out in the guise of helping with the move.
Hb and I will be passing each other on this one.
He is home March 30th and I leave April 3rd.

Well I should go clear the feeders and check the feral station.

 
Ya lady! We are down to only half a feeder!!

Have a good Tuesday!
