Good Morning and Welcome to Wednesday the 1st day of a new month, April.
Usually people would be playing pranks on one another this morning but alas I don’t think it is likely appropriate this April 1st.
The sky is almost white this morning with a tinge of the palest of blues.
I am hopeful that the sunrise will be visible shortly.
Yesterday afternoon the SUN was so bright against the deep plush blanket of snow it was almost blinding from inside the house.
At one point I was thinking I should put on my sunglass clips but then I was not in the living for long and in my office it was not too bad.
Working from home as been interesting.
Today is our 10th day, I believe.
I do love being here with Alvin, going for walks at lunchtime when we can and the commute.
Nothing beats the commute.
Nothing.
Other than retirement and then there would be no commute, period. OVER and OUT.
But that is not where I am at this time so a short commute is wonderful.
It is nice dressing how you feel.
Somedays I feel like dressing as though I am going to the office and others it feels more casual.
I have not as yet wore my pajamas or gone without wearing a bra.
But we are just beginning in this new norm.
I have a feeling that it will be extended for us past April 30, 2020.
I have not been watching the news to see how many cases or if the virus has grown substantially in Canada.
I feel that I am doing my part.
Staying home and reducing the chance of catching the virus.
My friends drop things off at the door and when we visit it is in short spurts at the door and I am six feet away.
No hugs even though we really want to.
I wash my hands.
Importantly I get lots of rest, try to remain calm, get some exercise and eat right and keep hydrated.
Speaking of hydrating (kidding), I smell the coffee perking away.
Let me tell you there is nothing short of wild roses lining the path to the park or lilacs blooming or the scent of a little baby that matches the smell of coffee brewing.
I guess the secret is out.
BEST SMELLS EVER:
Wild roses
Lilacs
Scent of a baby
COFFEE
Perhaps after a rain ……
What are you favourite scents?
Maybe you could send me your list.
I am excited to see what everyone likes or loves.
Mr. Alvin ….
Even though he has my schedule for starting and ending work and breaks down to the minute, I think he is out of sorts.
I think that he has some pain in his paws due to arthritis.
It was/is a matter of time.
I will continue with his daily regimen of glucosamine.
I do know that when the weather changes, I can see a difference.
This is not news to his Doctor.
Don’t worry I keep her aprized.
How about some miscellaneous photos.
I love photos.
Let me see what do I have handy.

Oh my darling grand pup MILO closest to the camera and little KOBI in the background.

MILO and Miss ASPEN.
Love my grand pups.

I love the way the tree looks after a snowfall.
Branches gently cradling the snow.

Last year’s birthday …. the most delicious cupcakes.
With Key Lime Icing

Geese near the park by my house, last year or year before.
Time passes so quickly …..

Flowers from my friend’s garden.
I cannot wait to see her garden this summer.

Our friend next door, HUMPHREY.
Thankfully he does not have to wear the CONE often anymore.
But sometimes.

FRIENDS


I wished that I had one of Alvin and Teddy looking out of the bedroom window.
I have some.
ALVIN and TEDDY on the bed.
Well almost time to grab my coffee and get the start up to work.
I hope that you have an awesome day.
Wednesday, we got this.
Two more days until the weekend.
Living in Kindness and with Respect,
I, We remain as,
Always, Carol & Alvin
It is a NEW YEAR.
