Good Morning All! Welcome to another hot day in Edmonton. I will be over the moon when our a/c is serviced next week and I am willing to bet that Mr. Alvin feels the same. I certainly am not going to complain about these warm days as our summers are relatively short compared to our winter / cold months. So we do our best to keep cool. I would have escaped to the basement with Alvin but packing him up and down the stairs is not easy. He weighs a good 30 pounds give or take and I have to carry him a certain way so as not to hurt his knee any further. So we just spend our evenings in front of the fans. I do hope it cools down later in the evening.
Last night I was fixing the living room blinds so that Alvin could clearly see outside without having to strain looking through them semi open.
I noticed there was a little robin standing on the top of the front flower bed. It didn’t seem to be too disturbed by me watching through the open window with only a screen between us. It hopped about and into the dirt amongst the flowers, all the time holding something in its beak. I love robins. Partway through taking photos through the screen I decided to go outside and see if I could snap a photo or two. I was able to get a couple of our little visitor. I was thinking that perhaps the little one may be thirsty so I took a clear glass storage container and filled it with cool water. As I stepped off the last step and edged closer to the little feathered one, it semi flew and hopped onto my neighbour’s front flower bed. Surprisingly enough it didn’t fly away but hopped onto the grass. The water is left for any birdie or perhaps a bee needing a drink.
The second photo behind the screen is of the robin and is the first photo I took and then I went outside.
Well as our life continues to change with our new norm, we just continue to live one moment, one day at a time. Trying to keep some sense of sanity, patience, definitely patience and knowing that things will get better.
I am grateful that our sofa is comfortable but even at that it is not our bed. With the heat we struggle to get comfy and sometimes can make for a long night. But we will get through it, just one day at a time.
Wishing you a wonderful Friday.
Continuing to live each day with kindness , respect, compassion, patience, understanding love an gratitude.

Good Morning and Welcome to Monday the 2nd day of June, 2014.
June …… WOW.
I see the first fly on my office window ……. officially spring/summer.
A robin just flew by ….. sure seems to be lots happening as I look out my window.
The sun is shining and the sky is a lovely powder blue.
YAY …… perfect Monday morning.
I hope that you awoke this morning surrounded by delightful-ness (not sure if that is even a word).
Last night on our walk just before the skies opened up – we picked up most of the posters from our neighbourhood cleanup.
We will get the rest tonight.
Back to the fly …….
The fly almost looks like it is frightened to be up so high.
He keeps turning ever so slightly.
I do not know how high they fly?
Maybe two stories is too high.
Poor little guy.
Well almost time to go to work ….
Just seems like it was Monday ….. a day or two ago.
Lots has happened in that one week.
The fly is still there.
Seems weird.
They never stay in one place for very long.
Perhaps he just just taking in the sights or maybe he is a “peeping fly” ……
Very strange.
Okay, enough fly commentary ….. time to go to work.
Have a great day …..
Special Hello to: all those people who write stories ……
Always, Carol and Alvin
