spent some time in the garden today…

weather was very nice… it was warm, but there was a lovely breeze which kept it cool…

cleaned out the planters around the deck and watered the remaining baskets…

then emptied and refilled the hot tub…

I think the Snow Birds flew out of the city, because there were three batches of jets that left in twos and threes, making a lot of racket… by the time I had my camera out the third batch were leaving and they weren’t visible… they were the red and white of the Snow Birds but I hadn’t heard that any events were on in the area…

while I was making my dinner, a great gaggle of geese flew over and again I didn’t have time to get the camera and take a picture…

i have been hearing the geese daily for the last while as they head out to the fields for their last feeds before heading south…

here’s a picture of the geese that I took last year about this time…

just realized that last year at this time I was on my last few days of sick leave, following my surgery, before getting back to work…

I spent the majority of the summer in the back yard recuperating… what a difference a year makes…

spring???

gaggle of geese, George, hot tub, lounge chair, pedicure, Rona, solar lights, Spring

went to Rona and got a new folding lounger for the deck outside the patio doors… been using a wooden rocker there but it just isn’t comfortable when I’m reading a book and want to put my feet up… this one will be great and I might even try sleeping in it tonight to see what that does for my back… the young woman at the Service desk knew who I was right away, which is becoming more unusual as staff change on a frequent basis… when I was in the store the other day, the person who was helping me in Hardware didn’t know who George was… felt kind of sad about that…

then we went for a pedicure… which was actually quite good for my back as I was sitting up for an hour, even if I was jerking my feet around as my toes were pampered… I have very sensitive feet, lol… Crystal and Cyndi get quite a kick out of the whole process…

purple toes...

purple toes…

just came in from a hot tub… while I was out there I could hear gaggles of geese flying over in the dark, although I couldn’t spot any of them… but certainly a sound that makes one think of Spring…

and, even more exciting… the solar light by the pond was flickering… which means that the snow is nearly gone by the pond, and the sun s getting strong enough to give it a charge…  sadly my dragonflies don’t seem to be lighting up…

dragonfly solar lights...

maybe Spring is really on the way…
