spent time in the garden on a beautiful warm day… we’ve been under extreme cold warnings for what seems like forever… shovelled a path to the garbage can and back gate… also cleaned the area around the hot tub…

finally cleaned off a good portion of the upper deck so I can get to the bird feeder… it was difficult to get the snow and old seeds out of the feeder, but I managed…

and just a few minutes later the chickadees were back for fresh snacks…

that made me happy…
