a few days ago I shovelled a path to the garage and then moved a chair and table inside it… also put cushions on a few chairs in the space…

a bit later I dragged the propane fire pit from the deck, down the steps, across the lower deck, and into the garage…

took a few minutes to get the flames going, but eventually I figured it out…

just before my friend arrived, I took out a few blankets and got the fire started…

we had a lovely visit, distanced, masked and fairly warm… eventually my feet got cold – no socks – and she headed off…

she brought me an amazing bouquet of flowers that isn’t just beautiful, it smells delightful…

I had been thinking that we wouldn’t be able to visit, as I am not having anyone in the house for the next few weeks, so it made it a particularly special time…
