Simple Pleasures

It's Sue's birthday month, so we try to get out a little more than usual although enjoying March isn't always easily accomplished in Eastern Ontario. I posted earlier that we did have a few decent days, but then there was ice followed by a little bit of snow which was, in turn, accompanied by miserable winds.

We had breakfast out last week, so I purposed to take her out for lunch this week, but Sue opted for our frequently enjoyed take out sandwich and coffee. In honour of the occasion, however, we added a chocolate chip cookie to our usual order.


Our view from the vehicle revealed a light dusting of snow after the rain, but the prodigious winter cover is gone for the year, except perhaps for a storm or two that won't remain on the ground for long.


On the way home, we found a patch of trees with still some ice on the branches. The light wasn't great, but I thought it was worth a shot regardless.


Sue was happy to opt for the simple pleasure of a car lunch, but there is still the opportunity for a restaurant meal, perhaps two, before the birthday and month are over.

  1. Celebrating Sue's birth anniversary can very well take a week or a month! Cookies YES!

  3. Although I’m not one for birthday celebrations, a month of little things sounds kind of nice.

  7. What a lovely photo and Happy Birthday Sue! We love our car lunches. Enjoyed your snowy views also. Our surprise snow has just about disappeared as fast as it arrived after our 85 degree F. day before.

  8. I like the idea of a birthday month of small treats and maybe one big celebration. I'll have to remember the idea. Happy Birthday Sue!
