went to Shelmerdine with friends on Sunday…

after checking out all the plants, we sat in on a workshop about using all your outdoor space…

and I won a prize;-)… because it is almost my birthday… woohoo…

a rain gauge with solar flowers;-)…

lovely to be in a space filled with so much greenery…

and the flowers lit up after a sunny afternoon;-)… gotta find just the right spot for this in the garden…

it was gorgeous out yesterday…

sat out on the deck and read for a while and then, when I got too hot (!!!), I worked on the back deck…

moved a few pieces of furniture and swept all the dead cedar and bunny poop off of it, although the tarp is still frozen into the ground in a few places…

before long we will be able to sit out there in the afternoons;-)…

I was just thinking about how great this season is as there are no bugs and about five seconds after that thought, a fly landed on my leg, lol…

shhhhh… the snow is gone from the front yard…

and I finally took a few minutes to straighten up the rain barrel which had been blown over weeks ago from some of the crazy winds we’d been having…

now we are ready for some rain;-)… and plants popping up from the ground…

yesterday, we lifted the tarp and moved some of the furniture out from under it…

chairs for the table found their way onto the deck and the second wicker chair made it up there as well…

a couple of tables moved onto the lower deck and the butterfly chair moved across that deck as I continue to search for the correct spot for it;-)…

the tarp is still on the back deck and some of the remaining furniture is frozen to the wood…

can’t wait to sit back there;-)…

just about every time I walk up or down the stairs to the second floor, I stop and look out the window…

watching the garden change from day-to-day…

maybe a bunny, a cat, solar lights, new flowers, squirrels, birds, so many changes take place if you take a moment to look…

this photo shows a few solar lights, one of which was under the snow, lol…

soon it will be green again… please🤪…

yesterday, I took some photos of the sticky note that is on the mirror at the front door…

in the summer it is often located on the front door so that visitors know I am in the garden;-)…

I took the photos as I was eagerly anticipating spending time in the garden because this is how it was looking outside;-)…

that was at 2:45 pm when I laid down for a nap… when I looked outside at 5:45 pm it looked like this…

and this morning, this is what I saw outside…

another giggle from Mother Nature, lol…

caught a bunny in the garden this morning…hadn’t seen any for ages…

so it was a lovely treat… had to crop the photo quite a bit, lol…

there continues to be snow on the ground, but as the temperature is starting to stay above zero, hopefully it will continue to melt away;-)…
