my goodness, seemed like a very long day…

MTS came around noon and spent two hours outside (in the very cold weather)… going back and forth many times between a ladder up to wires in the back lane, through the snow, and up the side of the house… eventually, they made a connection which should double the speed of my internet….

then they spent over an hour in the house changing the router and the boxes for the TVs…

none of it seemed to go smoothly, lol…

after they left, we spent another hour updating all of the Google Home devices and we still have a few that are not cooperating…

on some of the colder days, I’ve been wrapping up in a blanket when I sit and read in the living room…

Ive been using the crocheted one that I made a few years ago and just recently found a post telling me that I finished it two years ago on February 7, 2021…

it is very cozy and I enjoy using it…

had a quiet day… it was snowing when I got up and didn’t stop until around 4 pm…

then the sun came out and it looked beautiful… looked being the operative word as, sadly, right now it feels like -30 Celsius… brrrrr…

spent a good portion of the day on the couch reading a book by one of my favourite authors and barely got my steps in… when I am into one of those books, it is hard to stop to get up and walk around…

but, was happy to take a few pictures of the lovely blooms around the space…

life is good…

Tuesday was a very busy and rather exciting day…

around 5:30 vehicles began to arrive with boxes and furniture, as my grandson moved into the basement for the next while… of course, by that time it was snowing and blowing…

the empty space was all of a sudden filled up with stuff again, in a very messy way… yikes…

after all the stuff was brought in, we had pizza and wings to thank the helpers and celebrate the move being completed…

I was happy because I got a heart-shaped one, ate half of it, and saved the rest for lunch the next day…

someone built a very nice snowperson a few weeks ago and it has been happily sitting in the field across the way and I’ve enjoyed watching it…

recently, with the warmer weather, it has started to shrink a bit;-(…

and yesterday, when I looked out the back, I noticed this lovely necklace hanging from the bird feeder…

looks like a cool sculpture… wonder how it will look next…

up early on Friday to put out the box of pass-me-along items…

had to go back upstairs and get the phone to take a few shots of the beautiful moon…

tried to use my Nikon, but the battery was dead, lol… it is now sitting on the counter getting charged… I think I’ve hit something that is keeping it on wifi all the time which is why the battery keeps dying… going to have to do a bit of research to fix that😳…

so, the moon isn’t quite as clear as I was hoping for, but it does show how beautiful the morning was;-)…

good start to the day;-)…

excited to discover the spotlight on the upper deck is working again…

it had been covered with snow for many weeks and I was thinking it wasn’t going to work in the cold…

as I was walking down the stairs on Thursday night, I looked out and saw the light….

apparently the warm and sunny weather uncovered the solar panel on the top of it, lol…

makes me happy, although the camera isn’t out there now…

not like there are fish in the pond that need to be protected, lol…

had a tasty snack on our way to Shelmerdine… haven’t had fresh McDonald’s French fries in I don’t know how long… had a couple of nuggets to go with them, but it was the fries that made my day;-)…

had fun wandering amongst the plants… it was surprising how many varieties of succulents were available…

here’s a photo my friend sent of the two that she picked up and transplanted;-)…

got a few photos of some of their bonsais to share with my grandson…

lovely to spend a bit of time enjoying the greenhouse and I even left without purchasing anything…

when I was searching the internet for a link to their website, I came across this great information on plant care;-)…

fries and gardens… doesn’t get much better than that…

scrunch…

this morning, I dragged the hose up from the basement, out through the backdoor, and into the tub…

last night I had a great time in the hot tub, but had to scrunch down as the water was rather low…

only took about ten minutes to fill it up… now we will see if it gets up to temp by tonight;-)…
