got to sit outside on the deck Sunday morning… yay:-)…
moved the chairs into their usual spots, took off the covers, brought out the clean cushions, and put them on the chairs…
got out the broom and swept up the cedar bits and elm leaves that were all over the deck… even used the leaf blower to finish up…
put on a light jacket and brought out tea and my book and enjoyed the sun, birdsong, and my book for a wonderful hour and a half;-)…
haven’t made it out since then, what with the snow and overcast skies🥺…

as I was laying in bed Sunday morning I heard my first geese flying overhead… woohoo…
just a few days ago I spotted some at Assiniboine Park in one of the fields…
I do love the sound as they fly past and it is certainly notification that Spring is really on the way…
I saw some later as they flew past the tree next door… sadly they didn’t end up in the picture, lol…

while we were out last Sunday I picked up flowers…
when I got home, I spent time putting them into a couple of vases… for whatever reason I wasn’t pleased with how they looked…
late in the week they were finally redone, with one bouquet in the den, one in the bathroom, and one in the bedroom, although it lived on the stairway for a while, lol…
happy to have fresh flowers in the house;-)…

so happy because, finally, on Tuesday, we were able to pull the covers, that were frozen to the deck, off the chairs…
I was very frustrated because I couldn’t do it on my own and had to wait for my housemate to get home… much stronger arms, lol…
three of the six cushions had to go into the bathtub to dry as they were all very wet…
the other three just went by the backdoor, although likely the covers will come off and go into the washer, lol…
the chairs were covered again and moved away from the snow and ice…
it was warm enough Tuesday, that I could have sat outside for awhile…
once the cushions dried out, I removed the covers, washed and dried them, and then struggled to put them back together…
and now they are waiting to get back outside…
after the snow😔… maybe tomorrow🤞…

had to laugh the other day…
I got a sticker with a bluejay on it in the mail from Nature Conservancy Canada…
and the next day, as I was walking outside, I heard a bluejay calling…
good timing on the part of NCC, lol…although I won’t put the sticker on the car…

we went out for a hot tub in the daylight🤪…
can’t even think of the last time that happened, lol…
it was fun to check out the trees, birds, and squirrels…
sadly there is still a lot of snow out there, sigh…

planned to start our errands with lunch at Sushi Cushi, only to discover that they open at 4 on Sundays;-(…
so, we decided to have dinner there instead…
the parking lot was jammed with cars and we wondered if we would get in, but happily, there were tables available…
sometimes we order and pick it up, but eating in is a treat;-)…
as always our food was delicious and we enjoyed every bite…

we finally got the deck shovelled… there is still a bit of snow and ice, but now it should melt more quickly…
we also got the last of the snow off the two chairs on the deck, but I am anticipating that the cushions underneath the covers will be wet…
unfortunately, the cover is still frozen to the deck… but the wind was sure blowing the covers around now that the snow is gone…
