bought a few tree greens while at the grocery store…

dug out two birch branches, some small white twigs, and a stem of red berries from the shed…

went through a Christmas box and brought out some large ornaments…

last week I’d brought in the planter from the top step so it could thaw out so all the dead plants could be pulled out…

took the planter into the garden, removed all the dead plants and added in the greenery…

after everything was included, it was carried to the front steps…

added some solar lights…

looks good…

I am always interested in the setting for each of the plays we attend at PTE…

this one was neat and it was cool how they changed the setting with tables and chairs…

both funny and thought provoking and the actors changed from one character to another smoothly…

really enjoying this season;-)…

spent Friday morning at the entrance to the zoo as a zoo concierge…

this was my little nook by the doors…

learned lots of tips and tricks from the staff and got a few pictures of some of the Zoo Lights which started that evening…

four layers of clothing was perfect and toward the end of my shift, the top layer came off;-)…

we spent time at WAG/Qaumajuq checking out the various galleries;-)… so much to see…

this piece of art was the only one I took a photo of, and apparently a bit crooked, lol…

from there we walked over to the White Star Diner for lunch… fun time and tasty food…

we do love celebrating birthdays😊…

got a photo of the cold tub setup…

two years ago it got used nearly every day, and last year it was barely used at all…

for the last few years the tub has been on the top deck…

this year it has moved to the lower deck and I think it is going to work well there…

the heater (which keeps the temperature at 5° Celsius), and pump, are attached to the side and removed when the tub is being used…

you can see the frozen footprints in the photo…

the other day when I was talking with my daughter, she mentioned they were having zucchini basil soup for their supper…

made me realize that I hadn’t made it for ages, so then I was craving it, lol…

yesterday morning I started it… it is a simple recipe with just a few ingredients…

after cooking it, it was blended and made a delicious smooth soup…

cooked some chicken thighs to add to it…

so tasty…
