had some fun taking photos of the moon setting and the sun rising…
ran back and forth from the front of the house, to the back to get the pictures…
amongst all the back and forth-ing, I also caught a shot of a plane and a bunny…
just a few days before that, I’d tried to get a shot of the full moon as it was setting, but clouds got in my way…

had a very relaxing day…
slept in a bit… for me, lol… put out the cushions, watered the garden and had breakfast by the pond…
enjoyed all the flowers on the mandevilla and spent time with my book…
while I was reading, I looked up to see this…
the little bunny that I’ve spotted a number of times, but not been able to get a picture of… today it sat by the chair and enjoyed some greens while I took pictures…
when it got too hot to stay outside I came into the house and watched sports on tv and napped…
so sluggish that I ordered my groceries to be delivered tomorrow… really the height of laziness…

looking forward to gathering with my BS buddies tonight…
apparently the Easter bunny stopped by a bit early as I won’t see them closer to the holiday…
although we will be celebrating Easter, it is snowing like crazy right now…
the ground was clear when I got home from work;-(… all of those gray spots and lines are snowflakes coming down…

worked around the house today… never set foot outside…
did a number of loads of laundry, made zucchini basil soup, sorted through the tax file to be sure everything was there, paid bills online and watched skiing and skating on tv…
when I looked out the back, spotted the bunny… haven’t seen her for a few weeks…
when I looked out the front, got a lovely shot of the sun behind clouds…
snow is melting, even without much sunshine… woo hoo…

backyard shenanigans…
came across my bunny friend in the garden…
I feel a bit like she’s a pet;-)…
then much later I heard a loud noise but couldn’t see where it came from…
just a while ago, I looked out the window and spotted this icicle that had fallen onto the hot tub…
happy I wasn’t in the hot tub at that moment, lol…

spent some time with my son-in-law yesterday…
one of the things we did was go to RONA and pick up a new cover and clamp for the dryer vent…
we’ve figured out a different way to add water to the hot tub, so that the vent doesn’t have to be removed for the hose to go through it…
as soon as we got home, he popped it into place and hooked up the inside vent…
while he was doing that, the bunny was sitting under a tree on the other side of the yard, watching;-)…
today, when I returned home from brunch out, she was sitting in the same spot… I feel a bit sorry for her…
but not enough to let her back into the house, lol…

adrenaline, big girl pants, blocked, bunny, carrot, door, pellets, surprise, widow
so last night I was in the bathroom and noticed a little piece of something on the ground… wondered if it was a piece of chocolate… it wasn’t, but I couldn’t figure out what it was…
spotted a few more as I walked to the kitchen and there were some on the floor there as well…
by then I was thinking that someone had been in the house… picked up all the bits and tossed them out…
headed upstairs and while I am watching tv saw a little head and then heard the pitter patter of little feet… when I looked down at the end of the bed I saw this…
the cutest little bunny… she let me take her picture and then hopped into the computer room…
I went downstairs to find some water and a carrot but I was still trying to figure out how she got in…
downstairs she came and sat in the doorway between the living and dining rooms…
I made a few phone calls and sent a few pictures… I like bunnies so I wasn’t scared but didn’t want one running around the house all night, leaving little pellets behind…
once she was in the dining room, I used chairs to block her in… then I made a path from there out the front door…
good thing it wasn’t too cold because the door was open for a while… once I moved the barricade to the dining room, she followed the path and went right outside where I had put a few more pieces of carrot for her…
eventually my heart stopped pounding, the furniture was all back in place, and I went downstairs to hook the vent back up, which was how she got in… will be buying something so that nobody else can come in that way;-)…
certainly had the adrenaline flowing…

on the first day back to work, as I stepped out of the house, the ground was covered with a light dusting of snow…
I was at the garage door when a sweet bunny hopped into the garden…
had to stop and get a few photos, even though my hands were full, lol…
this morning as I was standing at the kitchen sink I noticed a bunny and a squirrel having a tiff in the neighbour’s backyard… seems like the squirrel won because the bunny went and hid behind a shed…
such fun to watch the critters…

big girl pants, bunny, garage door, grandson, shovel, snow, widow
we have been very lucky with the snowfall so far this year… been really cold but little snow has fallen…
I do have a person to come and shovel for me, which makes me happy… I don’t have to worry about whether my grandson can make it over, although I am going to miss our time together…
think we will have to plan some supper dates…
here’s what I saw when I opened the back door this morning…
the garage door had opened during the night, sigh… once the temperature reaches a certain point the door won’t stay closed… I didn’t do anything about replacing it over the summer… guess I’ll be using the front to get in and out of the house for the next few months…
but, did see some bunny tracks…
when I came home it was all clear… I think he ended up blowing the snow because there really wasn’t much on the ground…
what a lovely treat…

another busy day…
have really been enjoying the drive through the Park each morning as we go to and from the zoo for camp… wonderful relaxing way to start the day…
our supper plan was a frozen pizza, followed by a delicious dessert pizza… our various descriptions included: smells like s’mores; looks like a giant chocolate chip cookie; tastes like hot chocolate… yum… we did discuss that the whole pizza was 880 calories which was why I had a single slice… might just be getting a few of these to have on hand in the freezer;-)…
the older one ran out to the gas bar to pick up some milk for tomorrow’s breakfast and came across this bunny when he returned… clever boy circled around and came in to get me to go out and see it;-)…
