90/365 Lemon Meringue Pie

Ready for tomorrow.
Wishing you all a blessed Easter.
He is Risen!

89/365 My Girls

They spent the day here and I got about 300 photos of them. :) They just keep posing for me. This is one of our favourite spots - at the top of the stairs with all that beautiful natural light flooding in from the stairwell window. They also let me be a funny hairdresser today ("do the hairdresser voice Grandma") so I could brush out all their knots (and a bit of gum in Norah's hair - at least that is what she said it was).   We decided on messy side buns. :)
Busy day with Easter egg painting, fort building, tea party - we opened the tea set I had packed away for 4 years - and a round of "Trouble". Norah won but just by a few moves. We also dug out their Mom's collection of Red Rose Tea miniature tea pots.
They thought it would be best if they stayed until midnight or a sleepover - whichever I thought was best.
These are exhausting and precious days I wouldn't trade for anything.

88/365 Fort Building

They came, they saw, they built!

87/365 Sunrise

86/365 Banana Bread

If I cut it thin enough there are no calories.
The 365 is lame today - it's food - and that means either I am extremely busy or have zero creativity in me right now. But I am posting a photo.
Actually I am liking all the white.

85/365 Lovey Norah

Grandma: "Who are you phoning?"
Norah: "I'm texting my girlfriend" "It's just pretend Grandma"

84/365 Sweet Eva

Eva is such a sensitive, caring and loving big sister.

83/365 Easter Bunny

82/365 Mushroom Pasta Bake

With fresh King Oyster and Brown Shimeji Mushrooms.
Don't be overly impressed - we ordered from Chef's Plate and it took under 30 minutes to pull together.

81/365 Sweetheart!

This little five month old came for a visit today and we captured a few memories. What a sweetheart!

80/365 Happy Girl

Miss Isla came over today to help me test out a new studio prop.

79/365 My Sweetheart

I am so glad I share a birthday with my little sweetheart. I hope as she grows up, she will always want to spend some time with Grandma on her birthday.

78/365 Deer

Found this herd on todays walk. There were close to 30 of them at one point but they were pretty spread out. They see me and they stare at me but as soon as I attempt to walk closer to them,  they bolt. And once one starts running they all run expect for one or two who stay back to keep an eye on me.  It is hard to get close enough for a good shot.
I do like the one that is leaping though.

77/365 My Joy

These girls. Could I love then more then I do? I don't think so....
Celebrating Norah's and my birthday today.

76/365 Lemon

Just a little indulgence today.......

75/365 I am Sixty One

Most days I feel like I am 50.
Today these two crazy girls along with their sister and mom took me out for lunch.
Great way to start my day.
I probably should have spent a little more time on my hair this am though......

74/365 Happy Birthday Norah

This very wonderful grand daughter turned six today. Happy birthday to my sweet, dear Norah.

73/365 Workout!!

Isla and her paediatric OT. Having fun and working hard.

72/365 Evening Walk

71/365 Deer Tracks

The deer tracks are everywhere but no deer in site on today's one hour tromp through 2 feet of snow - That was a work out!

70/365 Date Night

While Mommy and Daddy had "Date Night" Grandma and Grandpa and these three musketeers had a fun night. The place is a mess!!

69/365 Sunset

Looking forward to spring arriving. A Gaggle of geese flew overhead today. They are either way off course or  they are forecasting an early spring.

68/265 Family!

THIS is why I love photography so much. Capturing those moments of pure joy....

67/365 Chloe Cecile

She is absolutely, adorably perfect in every way! One week old and she smiled for us!
Welcome Chloe!
Congratulations Adrien, Danielle and Dominic!

66/365 Helper

Someone came over and helped me with the laundry today....sort of...

65/365 Silliness

These two silly girls came over and stayed for supper. We had a fun energy filled evening!

64/365 Opportunity Knocks!

Pulled this game from the cupboard and dusted it off tonight. It has been quite a few years since we played Careers. Harold cleaned up. He cleaned up in scrabble the other night too!

63/365 SNOW!

The good news is it is so windy here that our driveway often blows clear into the empty lot next door. The bad news is that when the wind is from the North (which it usually is), it carries the snow through the park beside us and deposits a 4' high and deep snow bank across the bottom of our driveway.
Here's hoping we don't have to repeat this clearing tomorrow at 7 am so David can get to work.
Thankful for a good strong street right to illuminate the work and Harold here to do most of the lifting.
Well, actually I am mostly thankful I am standing inside the house with a camera right now. :)
Ten more cm of snow is due tonight and another 2-3 tomorrow. March is sure coming in like a lion.

62/365 Grandpa Time

Saturday morning means Grandpa pancakes followed by some snuggles.

61/365 Chinese Checkers

He's home, it's Friday night and we are having a quiet night here waiting for this snow storm to arrive. The winds are howling.

60/365 Oatmeal Cookies

I don't bake. If I am in the kitchen my cooking skills usually begin with garlic and onion. And thank goodness because we would weigh a lot more then we already do. We keep sweets and treats out of the house. But last night we finished supper and both had a yen for some treat. Usually that means seconds of supper or jam on bread. Today I just felt like making oatmeal cookies. We will enjoy a couple tonight and then send the off to the grand girls.
