last Thursday a person from Manitoba Hydro arrived at the door…

I was a bit surprised, because I was expecting an inspector on Friday to review, and hopefully, approve the gas hot water tank installation…

but the Thursday person was here to change the Hydro meter…

after they changed it they advised that it was wifi enabled and they would be able to read it from outside the house once it is hooked up to their system…

I was a bit worried because when I looked at the meter a while later it was still showing zeros across the board… but, by Friday, it was starting to move… woohoo…

and then on Friday, the inspector arrived late, but approved the work, whew… which is kind of good considering it was over a month since the tank was installed, lol…

ages…

caught a bunny in the garden this morning…hadn’t seen any for ages…

so it was a lovely treat… had to crop the photo quite a bit, lol…

there continues to be snow on the ground, but as the temperature is starting to stay above zero, hopefully it will continue to melt away;-)…

had a lovely wander around The Leaf on Wednesday…

I went on my own for the first time and for anyone who knows me, that is pretty good…

the cacao trees are looking a bit sad, but most of the Tropical Biome looked good…

I spent quite some time watching the fish… they were very active swimming around the pond and a number of plants have been trimmed back so they are also much easier to see;-)…

the orchids in the Mediterranean Biome are still doing very well, with tons of blooms on them…

and the biggest surprise was the Butterfly Garden, which had more butterflies flying around than I’ve ever seen here…

zoo staff were letting a good number emerge from the nursery and there were many people admiring them as well… it is always fun to hear what the keepers have to say about the butterflies… they record each one as they release it…

then I took one last walk through the biomes as I waited for my ride…

carbs…

this morning I dug meatballs out from the freezer…

then I made a sauce to go with them and decided to add the spaghetti to cook in the sauce…

once it was cooked, it went into the fridge to cool down which helps reduce the carbs…

when I reheated half of it for my supper, it was delicious;-)…

a few days ago my Fitbit wouldn’t connect to my phone… very odd…

then, all of a sudden, the screen went black… I put it on the charger, but that didn’t make a difference…

eventually I went online and found instructions on how to restart the Charge 5…

I followed the instructions and put it on the charger overnight…

happily, it worked perfectly after that;-)…

pumps…

Friday’s project was to clean out the pumps on each of the three fishtanks…

it always slips down towards the bottom of the list, but once I get going, it isn’t that difficult, and doesn’t take that long either…

usually I only do one or two, but this time I did all of them at the same time…

the pumps are now running beautifully, and I topped up the water in each one… usually I do the topping up on Mondays, but was just a bit sooner this time;-)…
