~ Snow ~
We don't get a lot of snow here in Victoria but when we do...
many things come to a halt.
The Yoga Studio closed,
the rec centre annex Yoga classes were cancelled,
schools were closed.
I have been busy here in The Humble Bungalow keeping the home fires burning.
Vacuuming, dusting, reading, knitting, making soup.
Baking ~ Banana bread and a Sourdough Boule.
Watching the birds outside, sipping tea, thinking deep thoughts.
Silently praying for Peace.
The amaryllis bloomed!
I planted it on Boxing Day.
It is sitting on the shelf above the farmhouse sink where I do the dishes.
The kitchen is my favourite place to work.
I spend many hours at the counters
sharp knives in hand chopping,
slicing, and dicing...
creating meals to feed us.
Last week I went to the mall in search of the "perfect" white Tee shirt.
I don't know why it is so difficult to find one that fits well
looks good, is not see through, and has some style.
I want a decent quality, a smooth washable fabric that doesn't cling.
I've spent ages looking for a white tee in the thrift shops, no Joy.
After trying many tees in shops
most were thin, see through tops, much too clingy.
This is one that I found at The Gap...
it ticked all the boxes I bought 2 of them.
($54.95 each yikes!)
Will be a layering workhorse...
when they go on sale I am going to buy a couple more!
DENIM got me again...
pale blue softness.
Thank you GAP
I know this has become a problem...
Hanging in my closet now are 3 denim style shirts.
The newer fleecy one...
(see previous post)
a thrifted Gap one from 5 or 6 years ago
now a pale one for spring and summer.

Actually, come to think of it...
the pale one will go well with those pale denim Mango jeans I bought.
Think Canadian Tuxedo :-))
Very good book!
I read Dear Edward by Ann Napolitano a while back and really enjoyed her writing.
Several friends have recommended this book so I borrowed it.
Glad that I did.
Replaced my former CC cream with this one from Marcelle.
Canadian Company in Quebec that has been in business since 1949.
The gals at The Oak Bay Pharmasave suggested the opthamologist recommended mascara and eye shadow...
I was asking their advice after two eye infections
which I attributed to my sensitivity to mascara.
Been using this for about 6 months and have had no problems whatsoever!
The lipstick is a sheer red perfect for everyday.

My "go to products" for a simple minimal 5 minute make-up routine.
For a woman who is on the cusp of 70
I find that less is more when it comes to make-up.
That about wraps up this snow day...
need to make dinner.

I don't usually post as often so I guess this a "bonus" post.
Many of you have popped by The Humble Bungalow Blog
through the years...many friendships have been forged.
A few of us get together from other areas of the globe.
There are wonderful spin offs to blogging.
Kind of surprising that after all these years
I still feel like writing.
I might be
Am I repeating myself!
