just about every time I walk up or down the stairs to the second floor, I stop and look out the window…

watching the garden change from day-to-day…

maybe a bunny, a cat, solar lights, new flowers, squirrels, birds, so many changes take place if you take a moment to look…

this photo shows a few solar lights, one of which was under the snow, lol…

soon it will be green again… please🤪…

yesterday, I took some photos of the sticky note that is on the mirror at the front door…

in the summer it is often located on the front door so that visitors know I am in the garden;-)…

I took the photos as I was eagerly anticipating spending time in the garden because this is how it was looking outside;-)…

that was at 2:45 pm when I laid down for a nap… when I looked outside at 5:45 pm it looked like this…

and this morning, this is what I saw outside…

another giggle from Mother Nature, lol…

caught a bunny in the garden this morning…hadn’t seen any for ages…

so it was a lovely treat… had to crop the photo quite a bit, lol…

there continues to be snow on the ground, but as the temperature is starting to stay above zero, hopefully it will continue to melt away;-)…

the weather has been a bit crazy lately… it was warm and then it changed and has been cold and windy for the last while…

today I took some photos…

the snow on the driveway had melted a bit and after the wind today, it looks like glass all the way up… hoping the car will still be able to make it without sliding down…

and in the backyard the new snow has put a slight blanket over the decks…

enough already;-)…

fingers…

yesterday I had lunch on the deck… in my winter coat and bare feet, lol… I must say, my fingers were cold by the time I was done, lol…

today, I was out without a coat, although I did have a blanket over my legs and slippers on…

I spent hours out there in the sunshine and didn’t come in until the chair was in the shade at which point it was too chilly to stay out…

reading, a lovely lunch, and warm fingers;-)…

micro-climate…

spent a delightful hour on the deck in the sunshine…

last evening my housemate dug out one of the deck chairs from under the tarp so there would be a place to sit when the weather is cooperative…

I found a set of cushions in the garage and brought out my Assiniboine Park blanket…

pulled over a small table and put my current book on it…

I did have my winter jacket on, but the sun on my face as I was reading was wonderful;-)…

there is still lots of snow in the garden, but the deck is always its own little micro-climate…

I even filled up a few bird feeders…

strength…

to continue with the strength of the sun, I got this photo of one of the solar-powered lights…

it is one of four that I received from the Ottawa kids… I had put three away, but left this one out…

rather excited to see the lovely pattern of light on the deck;-)…

spring is really coming…
