out for an early morning hot tub and was listening to the squirrels chattering away… 

as I looked out into the yard – which didn’t get quite as cleaned up for winter as my beloved would have done – I remembered how the garbage can was damaged by an angry squirrel… George had cleaned out a nest the squirrels had made in the shed… he’d put a ton of peanuts and leaves and various bits of stuffing into the garbage can… a few days later we discovered that the squirrel had chewed through a corner of the can… it is very thick plastic and we couldn’t believe they could actually get through it, lol… and all the peanuts were gone… 

was remembering many of the fun times that have taken place in the garden… 

headed out to the Formal Gardens at the Park a bit later to get a walk in, and gather some poke balls… 

dull sky but warm… lots of puddles to go around… 

on the way home stopped at the Tuxedo Safeway and picked up flowers… they looked lovely and perked me right up… 

I’d tried to get some at the Madison Safeway yesterday but their supply was decimated from the Valentine’s Day rush…

a restful Louis Riel day…
