Warmer days |
Hello everyone,
After some sunny but not yet quite hot weather, we are now getting more spring showers. You know the old saying? April showers, brings May flowers. But it feels much colder than usual at this time of year and though I know there are flowers elsewhere, mine aren't yet at that stage.
Anyway, I take the rain as it comes. I don't mind it as long it isn't raining heavily for weeks on end as it can sometimes do. We west coasters get out and about no matter the weather. Today I had to get out for a walk and do some errands. I don't carry an umbrella anymore and since it was more than drizzling, I stopped to buy a plastic rain poncho at the dollar store.
I hope you are enjoying the weather and the skies where ever you are. Thanks for stopping by my post for this week's Skywatch Friday.

It's been awhile since I caught the morning sunrise. It was a spectacular one.
Hello everyone,
It's now the wee hours of Saturday morning. I'd forgotten all about Skywatch Friday hence this late post. Of course I knew it was Friday but it was a very busy day. I was waiting for 3 deliveries, 2 of which came very late in the day and the 3rd came not at all. It's been that kind of week; very busy and some things not going to plan but all is well.
Friday was a spectacular day before the rains started late in the day. Too bad I had to stay indoors waiting for deliveries. But I did manage to get a few photos.

Broadway, the street above, has a new underground subway tunnel. Construction is currently underway for the six new stations that will serve the new line. See the yellow line in the map below (click to enlarge) and the red dots or circles. The circles represent the new stations.
Thank you for stopping by my Skywatch post. I hope you're enjoying the weather and the beautiful sky wherever you are in the world. Note: Over the past several weeks I've had issues trying to link up with Skywatch. I've tried several times this morning and will continue trying until I can post. Thanks for your patience.
Hello friends and fellow bloggers,
Another Easter has come and gone. I hope yours was a special one.
We had our Easter dinner on Easter Sunday or what many call Resurrection Sunday, the day that Jesus rose from his grave after being crucified on Good Friday.
This year I decided to make it easy on myself in the kitchen. Instead of roast ham or turkey with all the fixings, I made a sheet pan dinner of small potatoes, asparagus and salmon covered in olive oil and herbs. For dessert we had a fruit flan.
Dinner was delicious and best of all I didn't feel so tired out like I usually do when making the holiday meal.
On the sacred holidays I'd rather be thinking about the reason for the season, especially at Christmas and Easter instead of slaving over a hot stove. Right now too everything is in disarray at my home. There are all kinds of boxes, bags and furniture that either has to be sorted or taken to the landfill. This kind of situation doesn't lend itself to having people over as much as I'd like to host a few people on special holidays. It will have to wait until things are more organized.
On Saturday I had errands, the main one was to go to an advance poll and cast my vote for the federal election. The voting day is April 28th but advance polls were open for 3 days over the long weekend and there was a record turnout of voters. I had to wait in line a bit longer than usual and I was glad to get out there once finished because I was too hot in the small room. Everything went well though. The elections here are always well run in my opinion and things tend to go quite smoothly. On my walk to the polling station I took the following photos. This is my contribution to Skywatch Friday this week.Sorry it's late but I had an issue with trying to upload. This has been a problem over the past month.
