on Friday a city (I think) truck came by and stopped in front of the house…

the person got out, undid something on the fire hydrant that lives in front of the cedar, and put a ten or twelve foot hose down it…

nothing happened… then they took out the hose, closed the hydrant and got back into the vehicle…

after a few minutes they drove away…

so the question is, does the hydrant work or not… kind of concerned 😟…

one step closer to time in the garden;-)…

today I moved the Geeni camera back to the deck to watch for visitors to the pond, although it is still frozen over, but it won’t be long…

recently I saw something on Instagram which reminded me of our wonderful visit to Ali’i Kula Lavender on Maui…

it was a beautiful place, with nice lavender fields, but also amazing gardens filled with stunning flowers…

I found a few photos from that day…

this hand towel usually hangs in the bathroom as a lovely reminder of that wonderful day and trip…

so nice when something comes along and reminds you of special moments…

I’ve been trying to note how long I am out in the hot tub each night, so I take a screenshot of the time as I leave the house and another once I come in…

tonight I made it out to the hot tub in time to watch the Space Station fly over… I haven’t seen it for quite a while…

this time, as it came over the house it was a bright light, but about halfway across the open space above me it started to dim and then it vanished…

it has done this before and I wonder if it is rotating a bit and then doesn’t have the sun shining on it…

it always makes me happy to see it, especially on such a beautiful evening…

had my youngest grandson over for dinner last night…

had to think for a while to decide on what to make as the oven is still not working, lol…

decided on spaghetti with meatballs and sauce… while I was making the meatballs, I was remembering doing that with my dad… he made great ones and they were very small… and they never fell apart, lol…

mine came out okay, but a few of them did seem to disintegrate… I used the broiler, which is still working, to warm up the garlic bread…

my grandson is on a moneymaking kick as there is a big school trip planned for next year, so he did some shovelling for me in the garden… the plan was to move the snow around that was in the mountain at the edge of the deck… he did a good job;-)…

hopefully this will help in the melting process…

recently I purchased a new set of nozzles for the hose after having looked for a long time for just the right ones…

today I used one to top up the hot tub and plunge tub…

this nozzle seems to have more pressure so the filling took way less time than previously;-)…

made me happy as it was a bit chilly out there…

yesterday, at 8:00 am, saw the beautiful trees across the creek with the sun shining brightly on them…

at 11:30 big beautiful snowflakes were coming down…

at 5:00 pm the sun was shining and water was running down the street…

lots of changes throughout the day…

bookshelves…

yesterday I had a good time cleaning and organizing the upstairs hall bookshelves… I had hoped to spend time on the deck, but it was overcast and cool so instead I tackled the shelves… apparently the last time may have been in February of 2014…

it is quite a gift that I can wait until I feel like doing something to do it, lol…

and Tuesday morning I was ready to go…
