Geraniums Blooming and First Snowfall!

Hi!

Where has the day gone? To tid it off, it has been a dark and dismal day; with snow forecasted for tonight. Currently, there is a mix of rain and snow; so quite possibly tomorrow, we will wake up to a bit of a white blanket.

Last year, when I planted our first batch of 'primula' flowers, it snowed that same night; unfortunately, there were no survivors. I re-planted some more 'primulae' another month or so later; and darned if the same thing did not happen again! ie It snowed; however fewer casualities. I re-potted the surviving tidbitz 10 of the 14'primulae'; and they are currently blooming up a colourful bittidz, in our front flower boxes! I have been told that 'primula' is a very hardy flowering plant, and thrives wonderfully in cooler temperatures. I think with the first go around, there was a total shock to the system; as it was early Fall; thus an unexpected cold. The next batch was hardier; possibly. Both times it snowed, after the yellow, pink, purple, red, and blue tid flowers were planted in their bit containers! And, I just watered / fertilized our geraniums yesterday! Hmmmmmmmm.

In between tidbitical tasks today, we went to the Passport Office; as our passports are coming up for renewal in the new year. We have to provide 2 non family references, along with their addresses, and our photos; so we will return to the Passport Office, when we have all the required data. It was not all in vain (in the rain). We "witnessed" to a "street person"; an old man; as well as giving him some tidbit change for a coffee. It turns out, that he already has a book of tracts; but we could see an appreciative warm glow in his eyes; as a 'thank you'. And, particularly with the winter weather descending upon us.

Tidbit - It is so much better to give, than to receive. You feel inspired and uplifted when you help someone in genuine need. Your problems become 'bittidical'; don't they?

We are so looking forward to our vacation in a sunny clime! After numerous phone calls, I was able to track down my favourite suntan lotion; and because I purchased it in quantity, I was given an excellent discount!

Alan picked up some more info from the bank re: the financials; and we are hoping that before we leave, a lot of this tedious tiddy bitty 'stuff' will be sorted out. There is going to be a bitty tiddy of a legal and unpleasant upheaval for 'those in question'. But, 'they' quite literally, have brought it upon themselves.

Our penthouse tenant has successfully worked things out for a "temporary" home, for his beloved cocker spaniel, 'Annabelle'; with the kindly older gentleman. Wrote a tid about that in a recent post. This is a win / win for all those concerned. We will be moving Alan's parents into the penthouse shortly; and our tenant may end up staying with us for a bit night or two, before he leaves for England, to look after his his Dad.

Bittid - Have a calm and focus on whatever needs to be done. And remember to always, 'Praise Him in All Things', each and every day.

The snow looks like it may be sticking! Perhaps you can relate to the silent and majestic beauty of the first snow fall, that you experienced, when you were a small child!

We are heating up "Shepherd's Pie" (from Costco); and it smells so good; it is perfect for a chilly night like tonight!

God Bless.
