I’ve been doing a lot of reading lately…

today I spent most of the time in the living room, with the light on, as it has been raining off and on the whole time…

besides enjoying my book I’ve also watched birds and bunnies and listened to thunder roll across the sky…

there were chickadees and house finches and juncos… a squirrel has been trying to get to the feeder on the window and I kept rapping on the window to discourage it, lol…

across the street, three bunnies have spent a good portion of the day snacking on goodies in the grass… the rain has certainly melted most of the snow, so I guess new treats have come to light…

as I write this, there is even more thunder and now a bit of lightning…

not sure if I will finish the book today…

hop…

not long ago I wrote about all the bunny tracks in the fresh snow and wondering if it was one busy bunny or many…

a few nights ago, as I was starting to get out of the hot tub – I was feeling a bit lonely without my recent companion – I watched four little bunnies shoot through the gate beside the hot tub, hop down the path and across to the far corner of the garden…

and then they raced around the garden, onto the deck and up and down the snowbanks before hopping past me a few more times…

they were having a blast and so was I;-)…

once I came in, I spotted another one out the front window on the front sidewalk…

what a treat;-)…

I took these pictures today…

looked out the window after yesterday’s snow and spotted many tracks…

not sure if it is just one bunny or many, many bunnies, lol…

throughout the day carrot chunks vanished from the deck… got some photos of the visitors… no idea how many, but it sure was fun to spot them whenever I was in the kitchen…

by end of day, all of the carrot bits were gone…

this morning I watched a couple of bunnies on the deck looking for something to eat, so I tossed out a few carrots that I broke up for them…

I checked back a bit later and discovered one enjoying the treat…

reminded me of the bunny in the den… it is one of those Build-A-Bear animals that the boys and I had made when my beloved had his heart surgery…

the staff in the cardiology unit had recommended a pillow for him to hold against his chest when he coughed and we thought the bunny would be great… it worked well and he liked it;-)…

it wears scrubs, although a few pieces of the clothing have gone missing, lol…

it is a sweet reminder of a difficult, but special, time…

one of the things I enjoy after a snowfall is seeing the tracks that the bunnies, squirrels and birds make…

it is fairly obvious that one or more bunnies are living under the deck… they climb a snowbank and then head underneath… there is lots of space under there…

the squirrels have been running around on the deck… likely the red ones are chasing the other squirrels and birds away from their stash…

soon the bunnies will be able to eat directly from the front feeders because the snow is getting so high, lol…

it is wonderful to have such a great view of nature just by looking out the windows…

as I was walking down the stairs this morning I looked outside and spotted one of my bunny buddies…

I went to get the camera but it was exhausted so there were no closeup pictures…

the bunny sat there for the longest time before eventually leaving… I was happy that it was okay…

there are lots of bunny prints in the garden, lol…

went for a half hour walk this morning and spotted six bunnies…

they were everywhere…

only saw one squirrel until I got home, and then easily six in the garden within about twenty minutes, lol…

I was about fifteen minutes later than normal and there seemed to be way more people out and about… my walking partner slept through the alarm so I was on my own… I am pleased to be getting back on track with movement;-)…

started out with a puffy vest and long sleeved shirt because it was 13 degrees Celsius, but less than halfway through the walk I wanted to strip down… it got really hot in the sun…

the morning glories were very happy…

spent the morning in the garden enjoying the show…

there were sparrows – clay coloured, house, chipping, maybe others as they can be hard to identify sometimes… along with purple finches…

they don’t really play that well together but eventually the finches seemed to accept the sparrows being at the feeder at the same time as them…

I took a great video, but haven’t quite figured out how I can post one here, lol…

dozens of the sparrows flitted about the garden… on the furniture, various decks, garage roof, at the feeder and drinking at the pond…

what a lovely time I had enjoying the activity…

and just now the teeniest bunny ran by about five feet from me… wasn’t fast enough to catch a photo, but what a cutie…

time in the garden is rejuvenating…

got up early and went for a walk to the Park… temperature was going to 34° and will feel like 39° Celsius…

so an early walk seemed like a good plan, lol..

by the time I got home just before 10, it was already hot…

as I was walking down the next street, two bunnies froze in place as I was coming down the sidewalk… the yard they were in was filled with dandelions which they love…

they really think if they freeze the person walking along won’t see them, lol…

as soon as I passed them, they both hopped away…

yesterday morning, when I was leaving for work I spotted two bunnies in the grass on the front lawn, but never took any pictures…

I did spend a few minutes sitting and watching them…

I am so blessed in so many ways, and the ability to sit still for a few moments and enjoy a bit of nature is one of them…

this morning another one was in the grass… got a few pics…

do ignore the dandelion filled lawn… it should be getting trimmed on Sunday;-)…

I hear that the bees are really happy to have the flowers from which to gather pollen…

I’m all there for the bees;-)…
