Beauty in the Night

Hello friends and fellow bloggers,

I hope you had a wonderful week and have some nice plans for the weekend.  

Even though it's a long weekend here I haven't made any plans to get away. In fact, I'll be trying to make progress on decluttering.  I'm trying to get through this next big push because it will make a huge difference in how things look around here. I can finally put a few clutter bugs to rest.  I also have a few important things that are keeping me closer to home. I may share more about that later depending on other issues and posts I want to make.

Today I want to share some night shots I took on walk back from meeting a friend for a cool refreshment. I wasn't planning on meeting up with him as I had several errands to run. However he said he could stop off at a point near where I was going to be so we decided to get together. I wasn't pressed for time because stores were open late that night.

He's the fellow I mentioned in a post earlier this week who has been going through huge health and housing challenges.  The good news is that though he'd been told to move, the housing management backed off from their demand after he challenged them. He was prepared to take them to court over it an I guess they decided they wouldn't press the matter. At least not yet.  So that is very good news indeed.

On my way back from errands I decided to walk all the way home. I don't like where the new bus stops are located and it was still light outside. So off I went.  On my way home I have to pass by many heritage homes. The people who own them work very hard to keep them up to standard. I noticed that several of them had lights strung up and it made such a pretty sight.






My apologies to anyone who saw this post earlier. A different and incomplete version seems to have been published with an April 2024 date. I have no idea how that happened since I only took the photos a few days ago and the post should have been in draft. Anyway, it's a good thing Jeannie at Marmelade Gypsy saw it and commented otherwise I wouldn't have known what happened! Blogger and the things it gets up to, lol. 

I love technology but some days it makes more work for me. I thought it was supposed to simplify things!

We Made it to the Middle of May

Hello friends and fellow bloggers,

I trust you had a great week.  We've been having spectacular weather with sunny days, blue skies and warm weather all month. It's been a super busy week for me.  But I made some time for a walk to take photos.  It was a perfect day for a walk.















May is such a beautiful month.  It's also my birthday month.  I love being born in the month of May. 

The weather makes me happy because the skies get blue, the grass gets green, flowers bloom and the weather warms up, but doesn't get too hot.  I find the change of season also makes others very happy and everything is just that much nicer.

I'm being treated to a fabulous lunch at a beautiful venue early next week in celebration of my birthday.  If it isn't going to be too uncouth I'll take some photos to share.

It's a long weekend here. Whether you have a long weekend or not, I hope you enjoy it immensely.

Thank you for stopping by. Joining in with Skywatch Friday.
