got up early, put in my contacts, put on my swimsuit, made sure my swim bag had everything needed in it… and headed to the pool with my buddy…

got there just in time… only to learn all classes had been cancelled this week because of spring break, lol…

this was the second time we’ve been to a Tuesday class… the first time we arrived late because we thought the start time was fifteen minutes later than it actually was… and this time the class was cancelled… I don’t think Tuesdays are our day, lol…

when I got home the good news was that I didn’t need to hang anything up to dry;-)…

too funny…

day-to-day…

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🤪…

big girl pants, blessed, haircut, health, icy, moments, nature, quickly, walk, weather, widow

Wednesday morning after I had my breakfast, I walked over to Ultracuts for a haircut… I had called and they weren’t busy so I moved quickly, lol…

it has been very icy for quite some time so I was a bit concerned as I wondered if the sidewalks would be clear… and, happily they were…

it was great to get the haircut because the last few home cuts were poorly done, 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;-)…

big girl pants, biomes, blessed, butterflies, cacao trees, fish, flowers, koi, moments, nature, nursery, on my own, orchids, plants, The Leaf, weather, widow, zoo staff

had a lovely wander around The Leaf on Wednesday…

I went on my own for the first time and for anyone who knows me, that is pretty good…

the cacao trees are looking a bit sad, but most of the Tropical Biome looked good…

I spent quite some time watching the fish… they were very active swimming around the pond and a number of plants have been trimmed back so they are also much easier to see;-)…

the orchids in the Mediterranean Biome are still doing very well, with tons of blooms on them…

and the biggest surprise was the Butterfly Garden, which had more butterflies flying around than I’ve ever seen here…

zoo staff were letting a good number emerge from the nursery and there were many people admiring them as well… it is always fun to hear what the keepers have to say about the butterflies… they record each one as they release it…
