lots of activity next door…
a few days ago a number of lower branches from the evergreen had been removed and left in the front yard…
last night when I arrived home they were starting to remove some siding… it was noisy and dusty, but so hot out that I had to leave the window open…
today when I drove into the driveway I had to maneuver past two wheelbarrows to get into the garage…
they have been removing siding all afternoon… happy I am not on holiday, lol…

yesterday morning, when I was leaving for work I spotted two bunnies in the grass on the front lawn, but never took any pictures…
I did spend a few minutes sitting and watching them…
I am so blessed in so many ways, and the ability to sit still for a few moments and enjoy a bit of nature is one of them…
this morning another one was in the grass… got a few pics…
do ignore the dandelion filled lawn… it should be getting trimmed on Sunday;-)…
I hear that the bees are really happy to have the flowers from which to gather pollen…
I’m all there for the bees;-)…

this morning I turned the furnace off as the weather has really improved…
this was the view out the front door a few minutes ago…
and this was the view out the back… so happy that it is warm enough to have the screen open…
l really love the screen protectors… haven’t walked through the screen even once, lol…

as I was walking home last night I stopped by the creek and watched the mallard couple for quite a while…
they were swimming up and down the creek calmly…
was so busy enjoying the moment that I didn’t take any photos…
but I have this one from last week, when a mallard popped out of the water at the Duck Pond…
cute, eh…

today my grandson came over to move the rocks out of the flowerbed in an effort to make it easier for when the gardener is able to start work…
while I was over there I checked out the couple of poppies that have come up… we used to have many, many poppies in the garden, but over the last few years there have been fewer and fewer…
looks like there will be a couple of flowers… pretty exciting…
might be the last ones;-(…

I think Spring has finally hit me…
spent time cleaning a cabinet and shelf unit in the bathroom…
also did a bit of work in the garden…
cut back some of the Virginia creeper… always feel such satisfaction trimming it, and find it rather addictive, lol… sometimes it is hard to stop…
and then, while I was watching some tv, I touched something on the remote and the screen misbehaved for a while… eventually I unplugged everything and when it started up again it was fine… not that I am addicted to tv…

pretty pleased because, thanks to a friend, I might just have found a gardener…
we walked around the front yard and garden and reviewed all of the things that needed to be done… it is quite a list…
at first I thought she was overwhelmed with how much needs to be done, but I mentioned I would be happy if just the garden was looked after…
although it was raining and the garden looks rather sad, she said she felt the serenity of the space…
we made a plan and she is going to get started when she has an opening in her schedule… this might not be for a few weeks, but I am thrilled that the work is going to get done eventually…
before then I’m hoping that someone can come and move some rocks…
so exciting;-)…

on my walk home tonight I stopped at the creek and spent a few minutes looking it over…
the water level is very low…
doesn’t seem that long ago that there was water everywhere…
after all the snow, it seems amazing that everything is so dry now…

been thinking about what to plant in the garden this year…
wondering about doing something a bit different… maybe only choose three or four types of plants and using them in multiples…
have someone coming over to see if they might help me with the maintenance of the garden… excited to see how that turns out…
