It was 7C (45F) when I went for my morning walk so didn't need the usual bundling up. Just as I got to the Trans Canada Trail I heard the tap tap tapping of a little Downy Woodpecker. That made a good start to my day.

Where are the green fields coming from at this time of year?
Lots of geese in the air this morning

We spent a pretty quiet day and I even got in a nap this afternoon before Nancy's company, Mark and Joyce arrived for dinner. These are old friends that used to be her neighbours in a previous location. We had an excellent dinner of ribs, broccoli, carrots, roast potatoes (I had brown rice) and I made two mug cakes since it was Joyce's birthday.
OOH getting rid of those pesky cataracts is a good thing! My dad had both his eyes done, about a month apart. What he used to think was dingy yellows were really bright whites! Sure made a difference for him. Sad that you won't be heading to the US, but good to take care of those jeepers creepers peepers!
ReplyDeleteSorry to learn you've made it official and will not be visiting thr US this winter. We are going to miss all those great photos you and Gordon take when in Texas. But, I'm willing to bet you will have some good phots for us of your winter in Canada. Good luck on the cataracts. I will have my left eye done probably in February .
ReplyDeleteHey, that's making lemonade out of lemons. Something that us Canadians are pretty good at. I always wanted to see Ottawa in the winter and seeing it through yours and Gordons eyes will be great. Good luck with the eyes. The world will be a brighter place in the spring.
