had brunch out with friends and then walked home in the sunshine…

wore a light jacket and took a few pictures along the way…

this was the pool that was at the end of the street…

had to do a bit of fancy footwork to make my way around it, lol…

spent some some cleaning out the last bit of a closet upstairs and I was able to divest myself of a box full of books and other bits and pieces… also cleaned up a corner of the computer room and put my collection of gift bags and tissue paper into the closet… more space in the room, yay…

later in the day the sun was shining into the living room and I got this shot of the couch and cushion glittering…

my daughter and her boys came for dinner and we had tacos… the most exciting thing was that the littlest guy had meat on all of his tacos… maybe we are moving out of the no meat phase…

finally, I took this shot of the Japanese Maple, which at Christmas time, didn’t have a single leaf on it…

another sign that Spring might really be coming…
