had to laugh the other day…
I got a sticker with a bluejay on it in the mail from Nature Conservancy Canada…
and the next day, as I was walking outside, I heard a bluejay calling…
good timing on the part of NCC, lol…although I won’t put the sticker on the car…

we went out for a hot tub in the daylight🤪…
can’t even think of the last time that happened, lol…
it was fun to check out the trees, birds, and squirrels…
sadly there is still a lot of snow out there, sigh…

we finally got the deck shovelled… there is still a bit of snow and ice, but now it should melt more quickly…
we also got the last of the snow off the two chairs on the deck, but I am anticipating that the cushions underneath the covers will be wet…
unfortunately, the cover is still frozen to the deck… but the wind was sure blowing the covers around now that the snow is gone…

I have been loving my new butterfly blanket…
it is much lighter than the blanket that I’ve been using for naps in the den…
and although it is lighter it is just as warm and cozy;-)…
I think it is going to be lovely when I’m in my chair on the deck —- soon I hope —- as the weather warms up;-)…

finally had the time to spend curled up in the sun on the bed… usually by the time I think of it, the sun has already left the bed;-)…
it was warm and cozy, lol…
so happy that the season is moving forward and before you know it, there will be time spent on the deck in the sunshine as well…

time to change the living room table…
put away the L O V E letters and found a beautiful spring scarf that my daughter gave me from her trip to Italy…
once the scarf was down, all of the seed packets we have went into the four squares…
then I put the driftwood with the dragonfly on it onto the table…
finally, cushions came down from upstairs and replaced the ones that had been on the sofa…
feels spring-y…
