I recently saw this un-manned machine in the mall... though a woman walked nearby, from a few feet away.
Was it cleaning the floor? That's what I assumed it was doing.
Hmmm... Was the machine learning the routine? Or were shoppers being accustomized to "robots" moving among us?
(Maybe both?!)
I have been eating more eggs for breakfast. A recent favourite has been omelette with cheese.
Occasionally I fry up some veggies before adding the egg to the pan...
Even fruit - like apple ... with cinnamon.
Add two beaten eggs...
Then, when the egg firms up, add cheese...
Then fold the omelette in half and let brown.
(Maybe if I chop up the apple more, it will be easier to fold in half!)
Hot or cold... delicious!
I'm very happy when I can walk to the end of our street - without the fear of slipping and falling on ice.
This spring - or are we still in winter?! - we've reached that "marker event"several times already... only to get MORE SNOW...
And again today, I see that the weather forecast for this evening is for MORE SNOW!
I'm working on a new crocheted sweater for myself.
One of the reasons I'm excited about it is that the creator of the pattern is a young woman from Ontario.
I didn't realize that until I bought the pattern online on Etsy.
(It can also be bought as part of a Mary Maxim kit - but I already had the yarn.)
It looks very comfortable. Hope I enjoy wearing it when it's done!
Several weeks ago, I had a birthday - and I sailed into a new decade.
I had thought about doing something "extra special"... because of the new decade.
(But the birthday was also mid-week... People work... What to do?! In the end I planned nothing.)
I'm glad I didn't make a plan: In the end, Terry wasn't feeling well.
He just wanted to stay home and rest.
So I went out for a delicious meal with my two sons and my granddaughter, while Terry slept.
Afterwards we played a board game.
It was a busy and fun-filled week - a perfect celebration!
Sometimes NOT PLANNING brings amazing surprises!
Spring flowers haven't arrived outdoors yet... But indoors my one orchid plant is still blooming...
The succulents my daughter started for me look cheerful in a south-facing window. But there are no flowers.
Nearby my two amaryllis bulbs are sprouting stems...
But so far, no flowers...
I look forward to soon seeing flowers blooming outdoors, all spring and summer long!
March 21 is sometimes called the "first day of spring."
In school, we were taught that it was the date of the "spring equinox" - when those of us living in the Northern Hemisphere had equal hours of daylight and darkness.
Since I began watching, not only the skies - but also my weather app - I see that equinox, here in Ottawa, arrives earlier than that: around March 17 (St. Patrick's Day) when we had 11 hours and 59 minutes of daylight.
Or we could choose the following day, March 18, when we had 12 hours and 2 minutes of daylight.
Whichever day we choose this year, our first day of spring saw lots of snow on the ground!
