Day 19 - Third Last Day

When I got up this morning, I only had three days left on this diet. Not I am heading towards my second last! I had apple slices for a combined breakfast and lunch after I returned from the gym from doing my lower body exercies, cardio and Fit For Life 55 + class. Supper was spinach salad with smoked chicken slices. Snack tonight will be grapes and crudités!


The gardens are looking fabulous. I am going to add all the pictures together at the end of this post. My bleeding heart is all in bloom. I didn't even notice it starting. I have a new patch of red tulips and my front rose garden is full of spring blooms. The garden where the spring bulbs first started blooming are dying off. The bleeding heart is keeping the garden alive!


On the weekend, we were driving by Zehrs and saw the fire department out in force. The aerial ladder was moving men to the roof. My granddaughter thought it was important we go and watch. As we were just going to spend the rest of the evening quietly at home, I decided to agree to her request. She took several pictures with my blackberry and if I ever figure out how to get them to my computer I will post them. I learned that night, that we had failed her in one area. When we were leaving, she wanted to drive by the fire truck so she could touch it. Where in the world did we go wrong? Fire truck I said... You want to touch the fire truck???? Me .. well .. given the choice, I would rather touch the fire fighter than the truck.. sheesh!


Did y'all know that today is boobquake day? Search facebook for boobquake to find the details.


This is the beginning of the spring bulbs in the front rose garden on April 15.



One week later on April 23, the blooms are basking in the sun.







The first non spring bulb flower in the back garden with my dancer statue.



A better picture of the dancer.



Another spring flower by the fountain bird bath. I don't know what it is called.


A couple of days later on the 26th, the front rose garden.



The red tulips in the back side garden opened up almost simultaneously.


The back garden beginning to dye off.



The Bleeding Heart bringing life back to this garden. This is the flower.


This is the bush.


These are a couple of trees and their shadows that happened to intrigue me on the weekend. What can I say. I get impressed by the simplest of things sometimes! :-) This is my tree.



This is its shadow.



This is my neighbour's tree.



And its shadow.
