Good morning--Good day to all!-- It is a brand new day--and we are a part of it! Lord love a Duck! There is not much better than that!
This is Northern Ontario, at its finest! So, if any of you don't know, I live on the Precambrian Shield, (rock)--in the bush, but just 9km. north of a small town between Sudbury and Sault St. Marie--in Canada---We have raised our family here, and after having 5 children, I very much needed to lose weight, so I joined Spark People , which is not open now to Canadians.-----(which is kinda crazy!)
Most of you reading this know me as leanjean6 from Spark-and you are aware of the above-Some of you may not know that my dream is to visit the Queen (which will very likely never happen!)---
Another dream of mine is to live forever---(that will not happen either!)---but--maybe I could live thru my children---I guess we all do that!-AND----One must be healthy as one ages---so, exercise is so important and eating properly is necessary---
As I type here, the Hummingbirds are outside the windows, fighting over their feeders, which seem to need to be filled every 2-3 days now. There are 3 feeders and there are Hummingbird wars going on around each feeder. Every feeder has one Hummingbird who appears to guard that one feeder, only allowing his friends in to feed.---Hopefully these tiny birds leave sooner than later as these days it seems I'm forever crawling thru the bushes, hanging up a feeder, hoping that I don't get stung with a hornet, who wants the sugar water also,
Son#2 is in Hong Kong----a cargo flight--He called this morning to tell me he had landed.
I must get my walk in, if I am to get this body into shape, to meet the Queen. If any of you wish to come for tea with the Queen and me (if she ever calls me)- let me know, and Son #2 the Air Canada Pilot will get us there.
STAY STRONG------ Lord love a Duck! WE CAN DO THIS!
Yes we can stay strong, well put, yes I too am very sad that Sparkpeople has closed but am SO GRATEFUL that I found it in the first place as I've met some really wonderful people here including you.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter is making Brownies this afternoon, wish she wasn't but I had the ingredients for her so will try to keep out of the way.
It got sunny and I put washing out and then the sun went in again, luckily our conservatory is like a drying room.
Hope you have a wonderful day, love and hugs Donna x
What a beautiful photo and wonderful message to start the new day... stay strong and have a great Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteSo lovely to be able to keep up with you ... so glad that you are continuing to blog!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Tuesday! Hugs, Eissa7
A beautiful picture of the sunrise and the lake. Sounds like a peaceful place to live. Put my name down for lunch with the Queen as I’d love to see England. My husband was born in Manchester but has had no plans to return for a visit. So happy to read your blog every day as it keeps me on course as well. Off to lunch with my Bell friends that I haven’t seen for 2 years but I will have a salad with a grilled chicken breast and no dessert! Have a great day! 👍😀🥗
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sunrise! Great to keep up.
ReplyDeleteGood morning Lynda! You're starting your day out and I'm just at the end of mine. It's been a great day! Sunshine, the lawnmower people came (I'm afraid it's way too much for me to handle) and that meant I got to see one of my favourite smiling faces this morning. I did something good for my health (had a test done), did some exercise and helped out my neighbours which was great because they help me with so many things it's nice to give back a little bit. Anyway, time to go to bed. I'll leave you in charge of the sunshine! ❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pic...love it when you post pics. Have a great Tuesday
ReplyDeleteFantastic picture of the sunrise. Only place I have seen Hummingbirds in Canada is up north. I love them. They are so pretty. Would love to go with you to meet the Queen! Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful view to wake up to. Count me in for lunch with the Queen. Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful....just might get me out of bed early if I had that view! Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful picture!
ReplyDeleteIt’s a new day! We got this!
Have a great day!
Hi Lynda, I found you and I'm so glad. I was LIVINTODAY on SparkPeople. I've enjoyed all your blogs here. Sounds like it was quite a learning experience. Well it has been a learning experience for me just learning how to comment. Hopefully this one gets to you. I love the hummingbirds too but we never get more than one or two at a time. Sounds like they are giving you quite a workout. I'll be back for tomorrows blog and look forward to hearing more of your stories about "Life in the bush". So glad Tess's bump is gone and that she is doing better!
ReplyDeleteI haven't figured out how to add my name here - but it is paceka1. Too many new things to learn all at once. I love the photo and would really love to live out in the country. So much traffic at my house that I can barely hear the birds.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely view from your bedroom! A treat to see! I miss the hummingbirds, we had them a lot, when we lived in Greenville, California, yes, the town that burned down!
ReplyDeleteNow that Spark has closed down, do you think the Queen knows where you are? :-)
ReplyDeleteHope you have had a good day!
ReplyDeletebeautiul sunrise, we are have coldy days, due to TS Fred.
Luckily it is to the west of us.
Sharon Cyr
That should be cloudy days.
ReplyDeleteA little nippy too.
Sharon Cyr
That is a beautiful view to start your day. It is a nice day here in southwestern Ontario too.
ReplyDeleteYou know I'm up for tea with the Queen, but you'd have to train me up in Royal Protocol. I'm mega impressed with her, AND with YOU!
ReplyDeleteSo, keep on hoofin' it, and keep on Blogging! Awesome... oh, and I see you over on Facebook, too!
Just stopping by to say hi! Second day of school here, and we are busy busy!
ReplyDeleteYes, it's a new day! LOVE the picture you took. Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteTea w/the Queen. Wonder if she has crumpets w/her tea! They are so good.
HUGS and hope Tess is doing all right.
Glad to have you blogging here!
I love the picture and I am glad I found your Blog.
ReplyDeleteGood evening Lynda! It is a new day and happy to be here. Felt really strange this morning without our Spark but we'll move forward elsewhere. Keep hoofing it up the road and leave the chocolate ice cream alone...I know that's hard to do, because I love it TOO! Stay safe and healthy 👑🥰
ReplyDeleteBeautiful view. God is, indeed, the Master Artist. I went to Spark this morning and it was closed down. Glad I can come here for your inspiring blogs with beautiful pictures.
ReplyDeleteI also would love to visit the Queen for a cup of tea and a club sandwich, I really appreciate her for making a promise and sticking to it,she is amazing.
ReplyDeletegreat blog Linda
Hugs
Lynda! You are so lovely, and so full of enthusiasm. Thank you for figuring this all out and finding a way to share with us all. That view from your bedroom is breathtaking! Sending all the best, RASOCKS (from SP)
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful picture of the sunrise! I hear the Queen loves to ride her horse every day, but now she needs help with her dismount. And does she walk her dogs as well?
ReplyDeleteYou won't believe what I cooked for the Royal Corgis!
https://youtu.be/7ZE9hcC2M78
Not me, but the cook, in the video! ha ha ha
ReplyDeleteI've never been in England...
Beautiful view. Have checked out My Fitness Pal? There are alot of sparkers there. We have been meeting up and they also have the 5% challenge for this fall.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful snapshot of God's creation! Thanks for sharing and for your advice to stay strong. I will try my best!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful sunrise!
ReplyDeleteBeth here. Very beautiful sunrise photo. Thank you for sharing
ReplyDeleteHi from Australia Lynda. I found your blog. Love your Sunrise.
ReplyDeleteDon't you love how God paints the sky for us!! I'll come when the Queen says yes!! It'd be lovely! She's quite the gal!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the journey Lynda. Have almost decided at 75 my weight is my weight so am enjoying life probably too much but so.....
ReplyDeleteYou are encouraging me to start walking again. Will let you know when i Start. Still thinking. 😉
PS. If your son will come via Western Australia I will come and see the Queen with you. I can even supply a BnB - she is now living up the road from our son and his family. We have visited Windsor Castle several times and always hoping for a glimpse of the Queen.
ReplyDelete❤️❤️
ReplyDeleteI have driven through the Soo on my way to our family cabin north of Dunns Valley. For a while I was crossing at Detroit to deliver vehicles to Mississauga.
ReplyDeletewow you are just as busy as always way to go I know that when you go visit the queen or she comes to visit you it will be a grand time love your blog stay strong
ReplyDeleteBeautiful picture! Always good to start the day with gratitude! So glad to see so many Sparkers here.
ReplyDeleteWe can do hard things!
Oh, that's a lovely picture! Lots of things go on in the world, but I agree ... there's always beauty and something for which to be grateful.
ReplyDeleteHappy Wednesday!
Honey, you will live forever. Of course, you will put this physical body down for a while and come back with a new one with no memory of this life...but I really believe there is no death...only transition back to Spirit.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful sunrise. We have friends that live North of Toronto but I can't remember the town. Any you live on a beautiful lake and we live in a small village on the Wisconsin River. In fact there are two villages that run together. Since we have had company for a couple of weeks I have a feeling I have gained a pound or two. Tomorrow will tell. My sister and my other sister that is visiting have had covid and everybody that we have seen in the last two weeks has had to be tested. They are over it now or so the test said and my DH and I have testded negative but it is still a bother. My DH and I both had covid in July of 2020 so maybe we still have some antibodies. Anyway take care and wear that mask.
ReplyDeleteLet me know when. I have my 2 Covid shots, my passport, my drivers license and it sounds like fun. On the flight you will need to brush me up on Royal protocol. Can I bow instead of curtsey. My knees don't work that well. Is it proper to wear a hat? Oh so many questions.
ReplyDeleteRed leaves mean snow and cold coming. Here in Arizona(where I live) we will be having 100's again next week and I am told baby rattlers are recently born and to be careful of where my hands and feet are when I am outside.
