…a canopy of Bare Bones

One of my favourite walkways in Colonel Sam Smith Park. It changes with every season. Even in the winter the bare bones of these majestic trees invite you to walk along the path.

I’m not one for big, expensive fancy gifts. I’m more about the kind gestures and thoughtful cards with expressions of love. In the past my husband has hand painted me some fun cards. This year he posted a special card for our grandchildren. For me he made a very special dinner, with a cocktail before dinner and wine with dinner.
