Sunny bold yellow chrysanthemums...
cheap and cheerful.
Just what I needed to perk up my spirits.
My ankle injury is slowly on the mend...the swelling has gone down.
Bruises remain and I am now able to move it in a more "normal" way.
I've taken smaller slower beach walks.
My Inner Hippie Vibe was activated when I spied a bamboo cane on the beach...
The bottom of the cane was split so I used duct tape to reinforce it.
I purchased a roll of sisal at the Hardware store.
This DIY project was easy and fun.
My walking Aid is ready for the beach walks.
It really helped my stability as the sand and rocks along the seafront are unpredictable.
I used it for every walk and have it in my car for local beach walks.
We are home now...
came home early as I have a medical appointment for a bone density test.
I have been on the wait list for almost a year!
Our medical system is overloaded...fewer family doctors.
Many people are waiting to be assigned a doctor.
A nursing shortage, an aging population, long waits for treatments and surgeries.
It is a national crisis.
My Eddie Bauer sun hat must be over 30 years old...
you can see my walking pole.
We collect feathers...not sure why?
But it is definitely a thing.
Our cottage partners participate too.
I got my husband more involved in meals this week...
we had quite a few BBQ dinners.
Easter Sunday dinner was this big fat burger!!
Boy was it tasty...I had made quick pickled red onions.
I mixed up some beef patties using ground beef, egg, salt, pepper and Panko crumbs.
We added some cheese, lettuce, tomato slices and condiments.
Dinner was quick and easy.
Just the two of us.
It is OK to keep it simple.
We like to keep things relaxed at the cottage.
Thanks honey :-))
My husband likes to take sunset pictures at the cottage and post them on his Instagram Page.
We had some lovely sunny warmer
weather at the cottage.
What a gift to be able to sit outdoors.
It felt like a luxury.
I am knitting a shawl...
"Easy Goes It"
Using Rowan's Felted Tweed in Pink Bliss.
The pattern is not difficult but it changes a lot.
I keep track by using a book and make note of where I am in the pattern!
My lipstick matches the colour of the yarn!!!
I was able to keep my mind off of my ankle by knitting and gazing out across the Salish Sea watching the ferries and boats as they floated past the cottage.
We went to the Market...
the new soap company Island Soul Soaps had a variety of interesting soap.
It was a tough choice to choose!
Perhaps I will need to sample many more to discover my favourite!
They have interesting combinations and I love the names that the owner has chosen.
Last night, Wednesday, I snapped this image.
Hubby was taking his photos and copycat me decided I can do that too!!
I didn't notice the birds until after I looked at the photo.
Lots going on this coming week...
things often get super busy and before I know it my daytimer is FULL.
Hope you all had a lovely week.
Do you celebrate Easter?
Did you have a big Easter dinner?
What did you serve?
Thank you to those who have sent me emails
or commented on my Instagram
sending positive and encouraging words that help during my time of healing.
I will be back in action very soon.
