finally got around to changing the living room table…

it has been the same since springtime, yikes…

took a little while to put away the shells, crystals, stones and books, as well as the sarongs that had been on the bottom of each of the four areas…

next, I found the Christmas box that had all the smaller purple, silver, white, and clear ornaments…

filled three squares and then brought down three angels that have special meaning for me to complete the last spot…

I’m pleased with the result although I haven’t quite decided what goes on the top, lol…

spent time with the fish and their pumps…

each one was cleaned and the water came streaming over beautifully…

I’ve figured out an easier way to clean them now, so the process is much quicker most of the time… I’ll still need to do the longer process once in a while…

but for now I am happy with this new system…

got these two little cuties while grocery shopping the other day…

the tree will join the rest of the forest once they make their way out for their seasonal display…

not sure if the snowperson will join the melt (group of snow people), or make its way onto the Christmas tree…

bought a few tree greens while at the grocery store…

dug out two birch branches, some small white twigs, and a stem of red berries from the shed…

went through a Christmas box and brought out some large ornaments…

last week I’d brought in the planter from the top step so it could thaw out so all the dead plants could be pulled out…

took the planter into the garden, removed all the dead plants and added in the greenery…

after everything was included, it was carried to the front steps…

added some solar lights…

looks good…

spent Friday morning at the entrance to the zoo as a zoo concierge…

this was my little nook by the doors…

learned lots of tips and tricks from the staff and got a few pictures of some of the Zoo Lights which started that evening…

four layers of clothing was perfect and toward the end of my shift, the top layer came off;-)…

got a photo of the cold tub setup…

two years ago it got used nearly every day, and last year it was barely used at all…

for the last few years the tub has been on the top deck…

this year it has moved to the lower deck and I think it is going to work well there…

the heater (which keeps the temperature at 5° Celsius), and pump, are attached to the side and removed when the tub is being used…

you can see the frozen footprints in the photo…

the other day when I was talking with my daughter, she mentioned they were having zucchini basil soup for their supper…

made me realize that I hadn’t made it for ages, so then I was craving it, lol…

yesterday morning I started it… it is a simple recipe with just a few ingredients…

after cooking it, it was blended and made a delicious smooth soup…

cooked some chicken thighs to add to it…

so tasty…
