There are at least a dozen moments a day when I realize I am so absolutely happy to be retired. My favorite moment is when I walk out the door – any day, any time to enjoy my walk around our neighbourhood with Kat.
My favourite thing about our neighbourhood is the proliferation of trees. Trees do so much to dress up a neighbourhood and make it appear strong and healthy. I never get tired of the trees.
I have no idea how many trees we have in Regina – definitely thousands (several thousands). When settlers first came here there were zero trees – just flat land with a creek (Wascana Creek) sitting beside a pile of bones. (Which is why Regina was originally named ‘Pile of Bones’). I am not sure why the settlers thought this would be a good place to settle, much less be the capital city of Saskatchewan, but I am grateful that they were industrious enough to start planting the trees we enjoy today.
Seclusion 101 with AnneMarie 
We are living in our first house of our own. I brought my tree(Eva) with us. The dogs try to chew on her,her companion tree was victum of a lawn mower. Still she grows.
And trees cool homes down too!😊

Here we don’t generally have to worry about keeping our house cool but trees block snow too! They are very versatile.

I don’t think it will ever get old! I love so many things about my life now and there are so many things about working that I am glad to be done with. Deadlines, dark icy roads to work, dust, etc. Etc. Etc! Hope you have a great day (or evening) too.
