last night I set my alarm for the first time in ages… Big Brothers and Big Sisters were doing a pickup of donations and I’d been gathering things for weeks…

had to turn on all the lights because it was so dark… went out to sweep off the step but the thin layer of snow was frozen, lol…

I moved all the boxes from the den closet onto the front step… took a while…

then I turned on the motion sensor for the front camera and had a cup of tea while I watched my morning news program…

good thing I got up early because they arrived just after eight…

happy to see things that I no longer need, but are in excellent condition, get to be reused ;-)…

last night we brought home the last of the plants, which included two good sized orchids…

it has been bitterly cold the last few days, but it appears that they made the trip okay… my colleague warmed up the car and the plants were wrapped with plastic… both of these directives were provided by our office plant whisperer;-)…

tonight the final collection of items consisted of two boxes and my artwork…

we were especially careful with my canvas because I plan to replace the one that is currently on the purple living room wall…

tomorrow I won’t have anything to bring home, other than me...

this morning I remembered to put out the three boxes of pass-me-overs onto the front steps before I left for work…

different places call and check to see if I have anything and then I have to remember how to mark the boxes because each place has particular initials they want on them, lol…

yesterday a couple of fun things happened…

I took a picture of my The Chocolate Lab bonbon in front of the purple dragonfly on the Christmas tree…

not that big a deal, except that a picture of me opening that ornament from its box in 2013 on day 23 of Advent came up in my Facebook feed just a little while later;-)…

and then to top that, I decided to put on a pair of fuzzy socks as the floor was a bit chilly… I don’t usually wear them, but had an urge this morning…

these were from last year’s day 23;-)…

and look what else came up in my feed, lol…

what a productive day…

started out with a few photos which demonstrate that a teenager was in the house…

there was stuff everywhere… a hat and headphones on the table in the living room… his gym bag by the fish tank… a bag of presents in a chair… didn’t get shots of the messed up bed and clothes in the basement, lol…

but he accomplished so much on our project… it had been difficult to walk into the computer room… I may have a slight problem with saving empty boxes, lol… and other stuff…

the top picture is from our family photo shoot in October taken by Jamie Noordman Photography… we both had our phones out and he was Snapchating with his friends… clearly we were both having fun…

today we worked well as a team… he dragged things out and I sorted and distributed stuff into various categories… at one point the hallway was filled with bags and boxes… we will need another day to finish, but it is so much better in there…

things were dropped at the Civic Centre recycling, Value Village and put into the garbage…

we popped out, delivered a few things and picked up a final joint present…

a wonderful Christmas present, I gotta say…

on my way home tonight stopped by the creek to get a shot of the high water/ice…

noticing more and more each day how quickly the snow is melting away… makes me happy…

before too long I’ll be sitting on the back deck by the pond…

enjoying the hyacinth which is blooming so nicely…

sadly I can barely smell it’s beautiful perfume… my cold is giving me a run for my money, lol…

and I was very pleased to discover the purple Superstore boxes that my kids dropped off today… I traded some green ones…

little things continue to make me happy…

last night this box of empty Advent boxes left the house to be filled…

my daughter finds things throughout the year and then arranges for the items to get here… this year her good friend was there last week and when she came home she brought all the stuff to fill the boxes…  they were in her suitcase, which was lost for two days… thankfully it arrived in town night before last;-)…

tonight the Advent Elf came by with a box of filled boxes…

they look wonderful… it is always such fun to open one each morning…

but box number one is missing;-(… too funny considering the suitcase had been lost too…

the Elf came back and now all of the boxes are here and I have one to open tomorrow morning…

so exciting…
