Porte Ponderings:
Just a simple black dish on a fence with some daffodils. Prepared ahead, waiting for spring, then suddenly blooms adding colour and joy.
Unable to go back to sleep, I got up at 5AM and made some bread dough. 10-12 hours from now I’ll be able to shape the loaves. 3 hours more and they can go into the oven. 45 minutes later and they will be 2 beautiful sourdough loaves of bread.
It isn’t where you came from, its where you’re going that counts.

A sunny day and we’re anxious to get the motorcycles out, go for a ride and have lunch with friends.

I am open to everything that helps me on my path.
The new shelves are in the greenhouse. Now I get to fill them.
Next, I ordered a new stand mixer to make my sourdough bread. Stokes has their annual sale. Delivery is free so no need to make a road trip into London. The mixer has a 7L bowl so I’ll be able to make 2 loaves at a time. 😉

Our new motorcycle helmets were in, so we went to pick them up. Mine was at Hully Gully. The staff at the Parts desk wasn’t very attentive. The first guy was too busy to even tell us where the washroom was. The second guy didn’t usually work with accessories. Finally he called someone who could help. She was excellent. She changed the shield for me and helped me ensure the helmet was a good fit.
Rockies’ Harley Store was a different story. The lady at the counter helped us with the helmet and we decided the 3/4 face we had ordered wasn’t for my husband (He has too big of a head and they didn’t make them in 3X). She helped find another type that was the right size and fit comfortably. The price was twice of mine, but my husband is very happy with his helmet.

I can harness positive emotions to create a deeper good.
Ending struggles, finding common ground or solutions, reaching agreements, compromise, cooperation, peace and harmony.

If only we had a leader like Lester B. Pearson now. Someone who could negotiate a peaceful agreement in the Middle East. Someone to put an end to this senseless bombing and killing.
On my walk this morning I met one of my ex-supervisors and friends, Joan Mavrovich. She looks so young, trim and healthy. She and her husband still walk everyday, rain, snow or sunshine.

I am planting new seeds and I am willing to learn how to grow them.
Figuratively and literally. I love starting my plants in my little greenhouse. Harold is building a new shelf for me that will almost double the amount of space for my seedlings. Of course it cost twice as much as buying one, but it will be custom made with love. ❤
Tea! The panacea for everything from weariness to a cold to a murder.

Snapshots: First performances at the Wright Family Performing Arts & Entertainment Centre on Sunday April 21st, 2024. The play was excellent, the acting amazing, the venue is growing nicely but still needs more work. Seating is limited and there were no balcony seats yet. But it was an honour to be able to attend and I am looking forward to attending many more. Ghosts and memories of WWII are brought to life by the performances of the wonderful actors/actresses. A deal for those attending.
