this morning I was treated to this lovely view of the sky and moon over the neighbour’s house…

when I get out of bed, the first thing I do is look outside and enjoy whatever I see… sometimes it is the sun coming up through the neighbourhood houses, sometimes a bunny, sometimes it is overcast… just yesterday I saw the first grackle of the season…

I enjoy starting the day intentionally by checking out the sky…

sidewalks…

well, it was called a blizzard, but it just felt like a lot-of-snow day, lol… Google tells me we had about two inches…

it looks pretty now that the sun has returned… and everything is very quiet… not sure how long that will last before cars and people take over the street…

hopefully, someone else is going to shovel the sidewalks;-)…

walked to and from the “A” on Sunday morning…

it took a bit longer than usual as it was icy so the walking was a bit treacherous…

but it gave me the opportunity to get a few photos of the beautiful trees…

happy to get outside and enjoy the fresh air…

doorknob…

for weeks now the side door to the garage has been stuck shut… kind of like the doorknob was frozen…

while we were working in the basement, there was lots of garbage which we ended up putting into the garage until the bin was empty… having to go through the side gate and then the main garage door was a pain…

yesterday I talked with my neighbour in the lane and mentioned the problem so today he came by and helped me remove the knob… fairly simple when you know how, lol…

now I will know for next time;-)…

so, a bungee cord will be the fastener for the next while… and, apparently a new door is in the future…

arms…

was on my way downstairs to go out to the hot tub on Friday and heard a loud noise… looked out the window to see one of the two hardcovers laying on the ground… not attached to either side of the tub…

it had slipped out of my grandson’s hands and, in the very cold weather, broke both arms that hold it on…

luckily, after we soaked for a while the two of us were able to set it back where it belonged… no single person hot tubs until it gets repaired, lol, as it will take two of us to open and close the cover…

happily Krevco had some arms available…

we will wait for a warm day to empty the tub, move it to install the arm closest to the house, put it back, connect the second arm, and refill the tub…

fun times, lol…

volume…

when the MTS people were here the other day, they replaced the remote for the bedroom tv…

the good news is that now I won’t need to press my finger through the remote to make some of the actions happen, lol…

at the last minute they mentioned that the new remote didn’t turn the tv on or off, or change the volume…

really 🤪…

the good news is that Google Home can turn it on and off and change the volume level…

repositioned…

another few projects got taken care of…

the wooden bird picture that my middle grandson gave me about a year ago has finally made it onto the wall… we had to pick up wire to use as it is heavy and the usual fishing line wasn’t going to hold it up…

looks great and I am so proud of him as he did a good job of making it…

then we put a new sweep on the bottom of the back door so that cold air isn’t flowing down into the basement… bit of a process, but it was finally complete… better than it was, for sure…

a strip of carpet got cut and repositioned so that feet won’t be on concrete on the way to the bathroom, lol…

the final piece of work was cutting and installing a tile over the light in the bathroom…

a lot of work got done;-)… I am blessed…

wires…

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…

crocheted…

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…
