big girl pants, evaporation, garbage, hose, hot tub, level, recycling, water, widow

this morning I finally made it out for a hot tub… it has been crazy cold here and I just didn’t have the energy to get out there…

when I opened the lid I discovered that a lot of water had evaporated and the jets were shooting through the air… which, of course, leads to more evaporation, lol…

usually, when the water level is low, once I am in the tub, I use up enough space to stop the jets from overshooting, but not this morning…

needless to say, I didn’t stay out too long…

once I was dressed I went out and put water in… it is a bit of a process… have to put a hose through the dryer vent, then go outside and put the hose into the hot tub, usually using one side of the cover to hold it in place… then it is back downstairs to turn on the water, using a pair of pliers to turn it because my fingers aren’t strong enough… back outside to be sure the water is going in and not spraying the wall…

while I was waiting for it to fill, I took out the recycling and garbage… also had a few minutes to take some photos of the frost on one of the windows in the garage…

when it was full, back downstairs to turn off the water, run up and push the hose back into the basement, close the cover and run down to hang up the hose and connect the vent back up to the dryer… good exercise, lol…

beloved, big girl pants, evaporation, fish, frog, lonely, outside, pond, tadpoles, widow

tonight I found some tadpoles in the pond after I finished filling it up…


very exciting because we were worried that they had just vanished… guess the fish will be staying in the condo a bit longer as we wait for frogs to be big enough not to be eaten by them, lol…

took nearly an hour to fill the pond up, which shows how low it was…


I’m starting to think that maybe it really is evaporation and the wide waterfall that is leading to the water loss…

tonight as I was working around the garden I was missing my beloved a great deal…


maybe it is Spring, not sure really… continue to feel lonely these days…

walked a few blocks on my way home and came across these lilacs which are just starting to open… brought back memories of our oldest daughter’s wedding… she loves lilacs…


looking forward to the delicious smell in the next week or so, as there are a number of lilac bushes close by…

a beautiful day with a few opportunities to spend time outside… hoping that the warmer weather stays around…

it has been so cold that I turned the heat back on in the bathroom floor…


not going to turn it off for a while…
