accidents, big girl pants, broken, excited, frozen, garden, prepared, rain barrel, trashed, vase, widow

had a couple of accidents recently…

a few weeks ago this happened…

I was opening a cupboard and this tiny vase fell out and broke… it was made for a single bloom and I really enjoyed it… sadly I can’t even remember where it came from so won’t be able to replace it…

the second oopsie is due mainly to laziness I think… I didn’t empty the rain barrel before the weather changed and the water inside froze and now it is trashed…

pretty sure we aren’t going to be able to fix this, sigh… and it had taken so long to find one that I liked… 

because it is all one piece don’t even think I can use it for anything else…

will need to be careful in the Fall with whatever I replace it with…

but I am excited that the weather is warming up and before long we’ll be sitting out in the garden…

tubbing…

big girl pamts, frozen, hammer, hot tub, ice, light, nap, tubbing, widow

lovely sunrise this morning…

felt cold last night so decided on a hot tub around ten…

headed out only to discover that the strap was frozen to the side of the hot tub… which meant the lid wouldn’t open…

back into the house to find the little hammer, turn on the outside light and then out again to bash the ice…

took a bit of energy to clear the ice away and then I had to take the hammer back in and turn out the light…

finally got the lid open and made it into the tub…

beautiful and toasty warm…

might have had a short nap…

worked rather hard for that hot tub, but I slept really well after that…
