I’ve been doing a lot of reading lately…

today I spent most of the time in the living room, with the light on, as it has been raining off and on the whole time…

besides enjoying my book I’ve also watched birds and bunnies and listened to thunder roll across the sky…

there were chickadees and house finches and juncos… a squirrel has been trying to get to the feeder on the window and I kept rapping on the window to discourage it, lol…

across the street, three bunnies have spent a good portion of the day snacking on goodies in the grass… the rain has certainly melted most of the snow, so I guess new treats have come to light…

as I write this, there is even more thunder and now a bit of lightning…

not sure if I will finish the book today…

carrots…

it looks like the goose couple may be moving in across the way… I’ve seen them two or three times recently…

this morning I spent time enjoying their activities…

one eats while the other acts as a guard to be sure no enemies come along and disturb them…

I think they are spending time in the creek, but I haven’t spotted them there yet…

maybe I will see a nest before long…

that is of course if they stay through the blizzard🤪…

looked out the window after yesterday’s snow and spotted many tracks…

not sure if it is just one bunny or many, many bunnies, lol…

throughout the day carrot chunks vanished from the deck… got some photos of the visitors… no idea how many, but it sure was fun to spot them whenever I was in the kitchen…

by end of day, all of the carrot bits were gone…

tossed all of the old flowers out today and reorganized a few pots…

moved one of the violets into the lovely head vase from my New Year’s Day bouquet…

and spotted some new blossoms…

that was a lovely treat…

house is tidy and ready for company;-)…

I was surprised this morning when I looked out the window and spotted the hoarfrost on the trees…

it is such a gift of nature and looks so delicate (apparently like feathers)… I spent some time researching the difference between rime ice and hoarfrost, once I came across the term, lol… still not a hundred percent sure I understand…

hoarfrost always reminds me of my last drive with my beloved… he drove me around the Park and a few neighbourhoods so that I could take pictures of the beautiful designs that morning…

it was just a few days before his death…

but now, the sight of hoarfrost on the trees reminds me of wonderful times together;-)… I truly am blessed…

yesterday I put up a photo on Instagram that showed my Japanese Maple just starting to leaf out… this picture below came up in my Google Photos today showing the same tree two years ago… made me laugh because it is so different, lol…

the good news is that it is starting…

and obviously, I should have put it up today, on St. Patrick’s Day, when we are all Irish;-)…

at the bottom of the tree, shamrocks have been growing since the first summer it went outside and the shamrock plant jumped into the pot…

it was fun taking the pictures;-)…

I’ve been taking an online iPhone photography course…

it has been excellent so far and I have enjoyed practising a few of the things I’ve learned… and I even got some pretty good pictures of the fish today…

happily, I’ve also realized that I already know many of the tricks of the trade…

the blowing snow is getting a bit tiresome but it has also produced some beautiful designs…

this was the view from the den yesterday morning… the pergola and Virginia creeper collect the snow in some stunning ways…

today I had fun watching a squirrel eat from the feeder at the front…

it was basically just stretching up from the snowbank…

I’ve been waiting to see that as the snow has gotten higher and higher…

looking forward to some melting;-)…
