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…

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…
