was out for a hot tub at 2:00 am, Sunday morning after the F1 race at Suzuka, Japan ended…

it was lovely, although overcast, but the trees were completely still and the temperature was nice as well…

then, when I got out, it became clear that the back hinge on the right arm had disconnected… yikes…

I tried a few ways to get it to close, but couldn’t get it done…

came in with one side left open… will have to see what we can do to fix it, sigh…

later in the day, my housemate was outside and was able to haul it back onto the hot tub…

now to figure out how to solve the problem of broken arms, sigh…

stairway…

while we were out last Sunday I picked up flowers…

when I got home, I spent time putting them into a couple of vases… for whatever reason I wasn’t pleased with how they looked…

late in the week they were finally redone, with one bouquet in the den, one in the bathroom, and one in the bedroom, although it lived on the stairway for a while, lol…

happy to have fresh flowers in the house;-)…

covers…

so happy because, finally, on Tuesday, we were able to pull the covers, that were frozen to the deck, off the chairs…

I was very frustrated because I couldn’t do it on my own and had to wait for my housemate to get home… much stronger arms, lol…

three of the six cushions had to go into the bathtub to dry as they were all very wet…

the other three just went by the backdoor, although likely the covers will come off and go into the washer, lol…

the chairs were covered again and moved away from the snow and ice…

it was warm enough Tuesday, that I could have sat outside for awhile…

once the cushions dried out, I removed the covers, washed and dried them, and then struggled to put them back together…

and now they are waiting to get back outside…

after the snow😔… maybe tomorrow🤞…

bluejay…

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 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…

naps…

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;-)…
