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🥺…

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🤞…

muscles…

moved the big umbrella from the garden onto the deck so that we would have shade for our gathering yesterday…

the weather station was suggesting it would be 30°C… which was a bit crazy as it had been maybe 23 or so the last few days…

used lots of muscles, but it was worth it as there was shade for everyone, although there was a bit of moving chairs around to stay out of the sun… and it was hot…

not sure if it will stay on the deck or not;-)…

yesterday, we lifted the tarp and moved some of the furniture out from under it…

chairs for the table found their way onto the deck and the second wicker chair made it up there as well…

a couple of tables moved onto the lower deck and the butterfly chair moved across that deck as I continue to search for the correct spot for it;-)…

the tarp is still on the back deck and some of the remaining furniture is frozen to the wood…

can’t wait to sit back there;-)…

I’ve really been enjoying having both wicker chairs on the deck… hoping I may be able to put the mandevilla beside the one closest to the north steps, but we will have to see if there is enough room…

last week I ordered a chair cover that protects against rain… only ordered the one to be sure it would fit properly…

it arrived and did fit nicely, although it is hard to tell where the front of it is, lol…

so, the second was ordered and arrived yesterday…

it is going to be great to not have to bring the footstools and cushions into the kitchen every night…

windex…

it was a glorious day and I spent a good portion of it on the deck;-)…

we dug out the chairs and a small table and set them up on the deck off the kitchen…

I sat out in the sun with a light jacket and a blanket, but before too long it was warm enough to take off both… woohoo…

I also got out the windex and washed the table first with soap and then with the cleaner to make it feel like Spring on the deck…

it is now ready for Monday’s eclipse party;-)…

this little red squirrel bounces around the garden like crazy, along with some other friends…

usually I don’t mind, but a few days ago I had to clean two chairs and a table from where their little paw prints covered everything, after the previous night’s rain, lol…

they are currently jumping onto the chair, then the table, and launching onto the bird feeder…

after wiping the chairs, I had to wait for them to dry before putting on the cushions… I’d cleaned up quite a bit of the mess, before I thought to take these photos…

little beggars…

the weather presented a variety of options on Monday… from hot and sunny to rainy, to thunderstorms, we had them all…

after seeing how much rain was possible, I decided to set up for our Monday gathering in the garage…

the motorcycle got moved to the back of the space and chairs and tables were moved in…

I also added the lilacs that my neighbour gave me in the morning as well as some suntea…

it was lovely, particularly when the wind blew through the space, and watching and listening to the rain coming down was delightful…

Wednesday morning we went to Custom Repair & Stitchery and ordered new cushions for the garden chairs… we looked through the fabric options and chose a green similar to what is currently in the garden… and there will be zippers so the covers can come off the foam to be washed…

I have been wanting them for ten years or so, ever since the last ones faded and lost their comfort level…

and so, since then, we have used two square cushions on each chair, which have been okay, but they have been getting a bit old as well…

I was also interested to see a newer version of Square than I’d seen before… I do love technology…

can’t wait for the new ones to arrive;-)…

spent time in the garden because the sun was shining… and apparently that might not be the case for the next week…

enjoyed my book, even though I wore my jacket and had a blanket over my legs… mornings are always warmer on the deck than the weather reports, as the sun beats down on it…

later in the day I removed the tarp from the chairs and small tables on the back deck, folded it up and put it away in the garage…

I swept off the deck, placed two chairs on it, and moved the two others to the hot tub area…

starting to get organized out there…
