stood at the window and watched chickadees, a nuthatch, and sparrows at the feeders…

and my neighbour shovelling his sidewalk… he is very particular and does a great job every time… it is fun to watch and makes me giggle every time, because my beloved would have been very impressed;-)…

besides shovelling, he also swept the front steps…

the trees made their way up the stairway…

found the box and had some fun placing them…

have one that needs to be plugged in, so I need to figure out how to get it connected…

the rest look great… Facebook told me I had done the same thing on this date two years ago… and I was thinking it was kind of early, lol…

a final few went onto a table by the front door… these include a few that my beloved made many years ago…

I like how they look, and they are connected to Google;-)…

it was above zero today, so I took the opportunity to clear the snow off the deck…

it was beautiful out, warm and still… and I enjoyed my time in the garden, even if it was shovelling…

the weather has been a bit odd, with freezing cold days, then warm ones, and then back to the cold ones, lol…

finally took the time to move the table behind the sofa in the den…

it sounds simple, but involved moving the table into the hall, pushing the sofa (and carpet) to the side of the room, getting the table past the edge of the sofa, and then putting everything back, lol…

got it all done, found a quilt to put on the table and sat down to recuperate from all that exercise;-)…

looks good…

I love my new leggings… I had ordered a large and an extra-large pair and as they both fit, have decided to keep both of them…

they have side pockets, but they open to the back, not the front which seemed odd…

but, because of that, my phone fits into the spot perfectly and doesn’t jab into me when I sit down, lol…

they are thicker and that is keeping me warmer inside the house, as I try to keep the thermostat set lower… although I think it is a going to get raised up before too long…

had a lovely day on Saturday…

started with six beautiful hibiscus flowers smiling at me;-)…

my grandson texted to say they were going to pick up some groceries and a parcel for me so we decided to have supper together…

I had a good time making stuffing and mashed potatoes, cooking mushrooms for gravy, and getting a chicken ready to roast…

in between those activities I watched speed skating and a Christmas movie, lol…

when the kids arrived we enjoyed a great visit and delicious meal… then he shovelled the driveway, decks and sidewalks… I truly am blessed…

it is always a treat to spend time with them;-)…

was out for the first full sidewalk shovel of the year on Thursday…

last week I did the very front portion of the sidewalk closest to the road, lol… but the shovel I used was not good… it was heavy and the snow clung to the metal…

we went to Canadian Tire and checked out all the options… finally I chose this plastic one…
