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…

Tuesday, the patio door was open for a good portion of the day… guess it is time to connect the spring again…

always such a treat when that day arrives each spring… spent a good portion of the day sitting on the deck…

started the morning in one of the new deck chairs… after I pulled out one of the cushions from the garage… needed a blanket and jacket, but the sun was shining;-)…

then I brought out the wicker set from under the tarp on the back deck… I purchased and put them together last year…

and got very comfortable… by that time the jacket was off and the blanket put to the side…

wonderful way to spend the first day that was warm and sunny enough to be outdoors…

on March 12, this is how the deck table looked covered in snow and with the very dilapidated old umbrella… and then on the 2nd of April when the new umbrella was installed…

Sunday, the chairs made it onto the deck… and Monday, the table got washed and the chairs set around it…

starting to look like spring;-)…

was making my morning tea the other day, when I looked outside and noticed a delivery truck slowing down and stopping in front of the neighbours’ house…

kept watching, to see what they were getting, lol… then he pulled out a pallet with four chairs on it…

they were for me, but there were vehicles in front of the house so they had to park that little bit further…

the driver got them down and brought them up the driveway, but felt he couldn’t carry them along the path between the driveway and house because it wasn’t shovelled to the ground… so he left them there…

I put my coat on, went out, cut away the plastic holding them to the pallet, and carried them in, two at a time… then I brought in the pallet… at which point my grandson came up the basement stairs to see what was going on, lol…

I am very happy to get them because I’ve been looking for replacements since the fall for the 13 year old ones on the deck which have given up the ghost… all the ones I had seen couldn’t be delivered so I was very happy when I found these on sale the other day… and there was no delivery fee;-)…

I think I will make a planter with the pallet… bonus…

last week, the back on one of the lawn chairs came loose… I put in a few screws but the final hole didn’t have a spot for the screw to attach to…

I used the metal drill bit to make holes and then a screwdriver bit to put in the screws on each of the chairs…

my son-in-law had some helpful suggestions on the process to produce the holes…

those big girl pants seem to be fitting rather well these days…

the adjustable brackets have arrived, the adjustable brackets have arrived;-)…

we’ve had our garden reclining lawn chairs for longer than I can remember…

they are just right in the space and have the ability to recline… a great place for an afternoon nap in the shade…

over the last few years I’ve replaced the cushions, but the brackets have been wearing out and breaking… I had no idea what to call them so wasn’t able to find replacement parts…

I even looked for new chairs, but there don’t seem to be any that recline nowadays…

I mentioned it to my son-in-law and he found the parts online… I ordered them from a business in the States, hoping they would work and they arrived yesterday…

today, I went out to the garage to see if they would be just a simple screw into the tube or whether we will have to drill some holes…

they fit;-)… one hole is in the wrong place, but I think only using the other two holes will be perfect…

I am so happy… now to clean off the deck and wait for some nice weather…
