yesterday I drove to and from work with a colleague…

carpooling is always more fun than driving on my own… I’ve carpooled with a number of people over the years… for years I rode with a good friend who worked close by… also with another colleague… and for many years my beloved drove me to and from work…

one of the best things is that I can take pictures, lol…

waited in the living room for my ride and got a photo of the very slow traffic on our way home…

at the end of the day I walked up the street in my heavy Canada Goose jacket, which kept me toasty warm… sadly the zipper on my usual Canada Goose jacket isn’t working properly so I’m wearing the heavier one…

looking forward to traveling with her tomorrow…

we always know when Spring is on the way when we get information about tulips and daffodils circulating around the office…

we always order, and get, the tulips first…

they are a fundraising campaign of the Lung Association…

this is close to my heart as my dad lived his whole adult life with emphysema, a debilitating disease…

it is wonderful to see flowers everywhere in the office;-)…

yesterday my Fitbit went dark again, sigh…

I went ahead and hooked it up to the charger and held it for the requisite 14 seconds and it came back on… although it seemed to take forever to get completely charged…

then I emailed the person who had given me the directions on what to do, just to let them know that it had happened again…

tonight I received an email advising that they will replace the defective Charge 3…

have ordered it and it should arrive within a week… unfortunately it comes with a black band rather than the lovely purple one that mine came with…

once it arrives, I will just change to my band…

pleased with their service…

have decided that it needs to be Spring…

bought this cute little crocus plant and am enjoying watching the blooms open…

the sun is shining out there and it feels like Spring… in the house, lol…

except that the temperature is minus 34…

picked up a few Spring-y tops on Friday…

maybe if we imagine it enough, it will come sooner;-)…

shenanigans…

backyard shenanigans…

came across my bunny friend in the garden…

I feel a bit like she’s a pet;-)…

then much later I heard a loud noise but couldn’t see where it came from…

just a while ago, I looked out the window and spotted this icicle that had fallen onto the hot tub…

happy I wasn’t in the hot tub at that moment, lol…

shovelled…

felt like I was wearing those big girl pants all day long…

this morning I went out into the backyard and shovelled the windrow outside the gate so that I could get the garbage and recycling bins into the back lane…

it has been weeks since I’ve taken it out…

put two bags beside it… not sure if they will take those or not…

I decided on pickerel for my supper… instead of the deep fried French fries that my beloved would make, and which were amazing, I baked them in the oven… a recipe from my grandmother… fish and chips was one of the regular suppers that he would make, particularly on swimming nights… makes me think that I need to get back to aquasize…

tasty…

this morning, rather than spend fifteen minutes on the treadmill, I had a lovely time taking photos of the moon…

although I used my tripod, next time I will use my headphones to take the photos so that the camera doesn’t jiggle…

still learning what this camera can do;-)…

for the last two days there have been big trucks sitting outside of my office window… the noise has been rather stressful and we’ve also been overpowered on occasion by exhaust fumes…

so today when I arrived home, checked the mailbox and discovered a container filled with my favourite homemade shortbread cookies I was so pleased…

I ate three before even making it to the kitchen, lol…

friends are gifts;-)…

sunshine and clouds…

Saturday the sun was shining down on the planters in the front yard and there were diamonds glittering… lovely dome of snow, which reminded me of a giant ice cream cone…

a bit later I caught this sundog… not very big but always such fun to spot… as I was driving downtown this morning there was a huge one, but I couldn’t stop to take a photo…

Sunday the clouds were very fluffy as I took this picture…

windrow…

so happy with the shovelling done by my grandson yesterday…

he cleaned out the windrow at the end of the sidewalk which my shoveler hasn’t been able to clear… pleased as my friends have had to use the driveway rather than the sidewalk for weeks;-)… the driveway is sloped so the sidewalk is a safer walk…

he also cleaned off the back deck… there was a lot of snow on it… took ages for him to get this done…

this morning I had a lovely hot tub… it wasn’t too cold out and I enjoyed the quiet… I have been sitting at the opposite end as there are many icicles hanging from the roof and I don’t want any to fall and land on my head, lol…
