October 7 - 13, 2013 - Photo A Day Project

It's First Thanksgiving weekend! Yippee! 

Thanksgiving has long been my favourite holiday, and living up here in Canada, I get to celebrate it twice. Double the gratitude. Now that's a serious win!

Although last week's photos were only posted yesterday, this past week's photos are ready, and I've a little free time today, so up they go!

7 - Corner

A nice upgrade to one of the busiest corners on campus

8 - What I Saw Today

Lovely student, Rama, and her girls,
Nathalie and Neomi

Beautiful gardens at the college.

No idea what these are, but love the pink stems!

The last of the climbing roses.

10 - Hands

Looking a bit more like Grandma's hands every day. :)

11 - M is for...

The most delicious food!
Although we rarely buy anything but the organic chips here.
Spoiled with homemade spice mixes and salsa.

Yet another of Penny's favourite napping spots.

Pierre's Saturday (qualifying) and Sunday (racing) morning bliss.

August 2013 Photo A Day Project - Week Two

Ahhhh... Perhaps this is perfection.... Blissful Outdoor Weather. And next week is forecast for more of the same. Except for the missing scent of tropical flowers and the sound and salt tang of the sea, we could be in Hawaii or California, but with all of the comforts of home! Ottawa summer days are often too hot-and-muggy for outdoor sittin' or activities, so we are soaking in these glorious just right days.

I'm feeling especially spoiled this month, as my one of my closest girlfriends has the entire month off from her job. We're both focusing on getting healthier, so we get together every day or two to walk and gab, either along the river or through the greenbelt woods. What a treat!

There are loads of things happening and upcoming, so, to give you a glimpse of a few of them, here are the daily photos from last week.

4 - Fresh

We eat like Royalty.
(If royalty eats mostly fresh, organic, and free-range.)

Fabulous trails through the woods just a
one-minute walk / 30-second bike ride from home.

1. Being outside. 2. Putzing on the computer.

5. Having delicious breakfast made for me.
6. Listening to the blues from P's itunes. 7. Bacon.
Not necessarily in any order!
