fun to watch the garden after the snowfall to see any fresh trails…
the bunnies have been busy…
even caught some through the window into the neighbour’s yard… their trails are made by dogs, not bunnies…

we have new neighbours…
they seem like a lovely couple, but they have two dogs…
the dogs bark whenever they see or hear me in the garden… or if there is any activity in the area… if another dog barks, they bark, if someone goes down the lane they bark… if someone gets too close to the front of their house, they bark…
the former residents had a dog, but it was taught not to bark, and I knew the words they used, so I was able to reinforce their training… so it didn’t bark at me after a very short while…
I asked if there were any specific words to use to stop the barking, but apparently they don’t have any…
I am hoping that these dogs will eventually accept that I am not a threat and will stop with the barking whenever I move around the garden…
I have been trying to sit very still as I read or watch the nature around me…
wish me luck…

the day took an interesting turn…
beautiful morning in the garden and then family arrived from out of town…
had a lovely visit in the garden and then ran around doing a few errands…
we met up again for lunch, in one of her favourite spots…
a few more errands and we headed to my nephew’s for dinner and playtime with the fifteen huskies and malamutes…
the kids all had a wonderful time… supper and time together was delightful… my sister-in-law is a marvellous cook and a great story teller…
she used to live here and we worked together, so I really miss her… happy to have this time together…
