a few days ago I took this picture with my phone as I was heading down the stairs… since then the temperate has been a bit warmer, the sun has been shining and sadly this effect on the pergola is gone…

lacy effect for a few short days…

sitting in the hot tub I have enjoyed the beauty of the snow… seems like mountains of it this year… at night it is particularly lovely…

I was very excited tonight as we turned down the street to discover that the huge ruts at the corner were gone… it had come to the point that my colleague who I ride with wasn’t able to take the turn for fear it would harm her vehicle… we had tried a couple of other routes, but the ruts have been gigantic and the bottom of her car has been rubbing all the way down the street… today the street is cleaned right to the concrete…

I’m hoping to see a bunny when I go out for a hot tub tonight… when the kids slept over they saw one late at night, eating seeds that the birds had tossed out of the feeder…  I often see bunnies in both gardens in the summer, but not during the winter…

been thinking of a couple of people who have or will be travelling today or tomorrow and hoping that the weather doesn’t cause any problems for them… some are travelling around the province, some to Saskatchewan and one to Asia… seems to be lots of coming and going in my life just now…

wonderful curled leaves, almost as if we’d used the scissors on them…
