≈ Comments Off on fluffy…
yesterday there was fresh fluffy snow covering the ground… it also dusted the wreath at the front door…
the sidewalk always looks so beautiful under a fresh snowfall… more so if you don’t need to walk out there…
this morning the icicles were shining in the sunlight as I left the house and then a bit later I spotted this deer as I was out and about…
the sun shining all day was a wonderful bonus;-)…

beauty is surrounding me… blessed…
first thing in the morning the orchids and hibiscus greet me… it is exciting to see which ones are getting ready to open… wondering how many might open at once…
at the office more orchids are blooming…
more are getting buds;-)…

≈ Comments Off on lumps…
was in the basement doing laundry when I heard scraping sounds…
excited to discover that my shoveler was in the backyard clearing snow from the deck…
I knew he was going to come again this year, but wasn’t sure of what it would cost so checked with him while he was here…
wrote cheques for the season and chatted with him for a few moments before he left..
this year I will text him as soon as the city clears the street… and produces the pile of snow at the end of the sidewalk… they are fairly good with clearing the driveway but do not even attempt the sidewalk… if you don’t clean it up quickly it turns into blocks of ice that are very difficult to remove…
my visitors use the sidewalk, so our plan is to get ahead of the lumps of packed snow if we can;-)…
very happy that he is thinking of ways to make the shovelling easier…

recently a few people have commented on the plants in the office…
my space is filled with orchids, violets and other greenery…
I always give credit to our plant whisperer who keeps the green things extra green…
I also mention how much I enjoy my orchids… sometimes they bloom a second and third time… it is so exciting when that happens…
lovely to spend my day in a garden;-)..

this was the view as I walked up the street at 5:30 tonight, sigh…
sad about the time change… I am still waking up at 5 am…
been using my SAD light at work most days…
hope to be back to normal in the next few days, cause this is rather tiresome…

enjoyed some time in the hot tub this morning…
although, having a hot tub Saturday evening and Sunday morning doesn’t work that well because my water shoes don’t have time to dry completely… they are rather cold and soggy, lol…
watched chickadees and nuthatches come and go to the feeder and have snacks…
a bit later in the day I watched more chickadees and nuthatches in the front yard…
such fun to get to enjoy the moments with the critters all around…

≈ Comments Off on prune…
today I trimmed the hibiscus as it has been growing out in all kinds of odd directions…
I’ve read that this isn’t the best time to prune hibiscus, but it really needed to be tidied up…
and then, after I’d removed some branches, I realized that I had cut off buds!
very sad about that… put them in water and set them in the bathroom… hope they might still bloom;-)…
