woke up early, and for whatever reason, decided to look out the front window…

the moon was still up and shining brightly, and at the bottom of the bird feeders I spotted a bunny friend…

it was busy eating the seeds that had blown out of the feeders during all the strong winds over the last day or so…

I stood watching it for quite a while, before heading back to bed… it is very interesting to watch the way they move…

and I love that cute little white tail…

at 6 am, it looked great out the window… when I woke up again at 8, the window was covered with snow and it was blowing like crazy outside…

but my buddy and I went on an adventure anyway, lol…

when I started down the sidewalk I realized how deep the snow was, so backtracked and went down the driveway, which was clear…

as soon as I arrived home, I shovelled the sidewalk… some places were six inches deep…

didn’t do anything else as I assumed it was still going to blow more snow around…

looked good, especially from in the house, lol…

we will see how it looks tomorrow;-)…

had a most wonderful visit with a dear friend who I haven’t seen for ages…

one of those people where the conversation just continues as though you’d seen one another the day before…

lots of talk about plants and gardens and how integral they are for both of us…

health and family also were covered…

and I received a container of delicious date squares…

so blessed to have time with special people…

as the last couple of orchids are losing their final few flowers, I am watching four plants which have begun new buds…

two are quite a way along…

one is a bit further behind…

and the final one has just barely begun…

most of them are in the den, which is interesting, as I would have expected the ones in the front rooms to do better…

looking forward to the new flowers;-)…

finally got around to making some red lentil curry…

hadn’t made this recipe for a very long time, so had to follow the recipe so as not to miss anything, particularly as there are many spices in it…

ended up using two pots so that it wouldn’t overflow the pan I started with, lol…

five and a half containers in total…

my housemate and I spent quite some time in the kitchen Sunday afternoon… someone suggested I might be a kitchen hoarder;-(…

we went through all the bottom cabinets, cleaned, added to the pass-along box, and threw out or recycled excess plastic…

took most of the afternoon but it looks lovely and all the shelves are newly organized…

I’m hoping that I can remember where everything is now, lol…

properly…

Wednesday I spent time in the computer room…

usually I take time at least once a month to tidy the space…

the desktop gets a bit messy as I am very good at bringing things up, but often leave them on the desk without putting them away properly, lol…

it looks so nice when it is tidied up…

my next project will start shortly as I begin sorting and organizing tax documents to send off to the accounting folks;-)… at that point there may be quite a few pieces of paper all over the place…

so, in today’s Canada Post mail, I received a letter from my house insurance company advising that a payment was due on December 14th…

the date on the letter was November 23rd…

I called my insurance company right away and paid the invoice over the phone…

my first question to my agent was whether the house had been uninsured since mid December…

thankfully the house was covered…

I have now entered the date for the next payment to be sure it doesn’t get missed, lol…
