Day 151
Upon my search through stuff that I gathered for the yard sale, I came across a little toy ball for Kitty that had been long ago shoved behind something. A little cleaning, and she was back at it.

Day 150
Today my roommate, myself, a friend of mine, and a friend of hers had a yard sale. A couple of our neighbours got in on the action as well. It was large, and successful. We are moving (the four of us, not the neighbours), and need to downsize a LOT. This was the first time I had a yard sale. It’s a bit strange actually…
take it awaaaay
Day 149
Twas the night before the Yard Sale, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, cause we were out putting up signs into the wee hours of the night/morning.

Day 148
One of my roommates has a cool sprouter thing that she grows little… yes, sprouts, in. These grew larger… not sure if she had planned to put them in her garden. Anyways, I thought they looked cool, but a bit Day of the Triffids-ish. Which was disturbing.
eat meeee
Day 147
Did a little prep work for the upcoming yard sale today. Emptied my dresser. This is an oldish dresser, my mom painted it. She said it was ok to sell. It went to a good home 
time to 'move' on
Day 146
I didn’t think that I’d already be posting a pic of my ring when I took this photo, so I was going to put something else for today. However, I also have a funny story about this one. I actually forgot I took this pic (it’s with one of the roses that Dan bought me), and then spent about 15 minutes freaking out right before I went to bed thinking I’d lost my ring… already.. only a few days after getting it (it’s a little too big so I thought it came off). I went so far as to take all the blankets off the bed, and check in my pile of laundry to find it. Then suddenly had an epiphany and remembered where it was… sigh.
So until I get it resized again, it’s been on my middle finger while I sleep, because it fits that one a little better, and I don’t worry about it.
i'll buy you a rose before i propose
Day 145
Dan left today. Won’t see him for a couple months. Kinda getting sick of that…
ready to go...
Day 144
Today was Dan’s last full day in Canada. Rather than dwelling and posting sad-face pics, I’ll also note that it was Free Hamburger Day at Harveys. We did not partake. We did not want to face the line up (I would have probably, but wasn’t feeling up to it, and Dan didn’t think it was that special… lol). However, these kids thought it to be a ‘run, don’t walk’ sort of occasion.
omgfree
Day 143
Today our friend Teresa had a party. She arranged to have a friend of hers come and do a fire show, so that Dan could have a ‘good’ fire experience (he and his family were recently evacuated from their home for a couple of days due to wild fires in the area!). It was really awesome.
flamey
Day 141
Today we checked into one of the fanciest hotel rooms that either of us had every stayed in. And to think, it was actually still in London (the Hampton).
thank you, come again
Day 140
Today Dan and I went for a picnic Twas a lovely day, and the first time I FINALLY got to go on a real picnic with someone. We went to a place that I had previously gone to by myself when I needed some time alone. It was nice to be able to share it with someone. <3
I took a bunch of photos and asked Dan to pick his favourite for today.
wormy eye view
Day 139
Today was the only (thankfully) day that I had to work while Dan was visiting. While I was gone he bought me flowers and had them waiting for me on my desk when I got home
<3
Day 138
Today we went to my parents’ house, so that Dan could have a chance to visit with them, and meet a small portion of my extended family (we had some of them over for dinner). My mom has a great lilac bush in the front yard, and they also have some not-so-wild creatures that roam around their yard. Dan liked the flowers, but I couldn’t decide which pic I liked best.
a lilac by any other name..
This is just one of a few rabbits they have, not to be mistaken by any turkeys, peacocks, roosters, hens, or kitties.
hopalong
Day 137
Dan’s nickname from university is Goat… I don’t recall exactly why (he told me the story once). Today we went to Colasanti’s, which is a fun little greenhouse/gift place/indoor park/petting zoo thing. They keep expanding/changing lately. We mostly just went in the petting zoo, as the rest of it is geared towards shopping or families. They have great prices on plants, but since plants can’t be brought across the border into the U.S. neither of us really wanted to buy any.
This is Goat, with a goat.
