it was very cold this morning 🥶…

it looked beautiful outside with everything covered in fresh snow…

I waited until around 10 to go out and blow the snow off the front steps and sidewalk so that it would be clear for the mail carrier…

today, I did not clear a path through the grass to the neighbours’ house… it was too cold;-(…

the sun was shining, but the wind kept blowing the snow back up at me, covering my leggings, my jacket, and my boots…

I was happy that I’d left my glasses in the house as my face also received a lot of blowing snow on it, lol…

I do believe that winter has arrived… even if it isn’t December 21st… feels like the sundogs are showing it;-)…

went to Shelmerdine with a friend to pick up some items from a fundraiser she was connected with…

always a treat to wander through all the areas of the greenhouse… even found a little something for someone’s next year’s Christmas present…

this planter was so pretty and the balls were so nice, especially with the snow on them…

when I got home I hung the swag that came from the fundraiser on the front door… not sure if the cord needs to be shorter…

lovely treat;-)…

bought a few tree greens while at the grocery store…

dug out two birch branches, some small white twigs, and a stem of red berries from the shed…

went through a Christmas box and brought out some large ornaments…

last week I’d brought in the planter from the top step so it could thaw out so all the dead plants could be pulled out…

took the planter into the garden, removed all the dead plants and added in the greenery…

after everything was included, it was carried to the front steps…

added some solar lights…

looks good…

delightful…

had a delightful morning yesterday…

spent time talking with the plants as they were watered and turned… a few are struggling with the move indoors but most are happy…

then I spent a glorious hour on the deck, in the sunshine, reading my current novel…

another lovely walk along the Harte Trail on Remembrance Day afternoon…

it felt like -4° Celsius and there was a bit of wind although the sun was shining brightly…

we walked a little bit past the distance we did last time…

we spotted two deer and watched them for a few minutes before they bounced along the ditch beside the path…

we were dressed for the cold and were very comfortable… then this person passed us;-)…

I guess different strokes for different folks…

it was a beautiful sunny day as we went for another walk along a different section of the Harte Trail the other day…

the sunshine was glorious and the path was dry…

this portion had a canopy so it felt as though we were walking in a bit of a tunnel… can’t wait to walk this one in the summer when the leaves are overhead…

beautiful trees and a lovely sky… an excellent way to get our exercise in when we can’t make it to the pool…

also tested out my new boots;-)…
