this morning I got up early as I had a dentist appointment and my grandson was going to drive me down before he went to class…

it was dark and there was a lot of snow out there…

I put on a vest, dug out a hat and gloves, and made sure I had cash for the taxi…

it lightened up before we left and I went out to start cleaning off the car… there was easily six or seven inches of snow on it…

made it to my appointment, and when it was done walked to the Delta Hotel to get a taxi…

got a few nice photos of snow-covered trees on the short walk…

as I was riding along in the taxi, I realized that I didn’t have a house key😳…

thankfully, after my beloved died and I was on my own in the house, I put a spare key in the backyard for just such an occasion…

and, I was able to get through the snow and collect it, lol…

I unlocked the door and put the key back before shovelling the front sidewalk and steps and the back deck and hot tub area…

got that adrenaline going, in the taxi, and in the yard;-)…

something has been getting into the pond…

I hadn’t seen anything on the camera until a few nights ago, when the camera caught this…

the night view makes it a bit hard to recognize, but the rings on the tail were the confirmation that it is a raccoon… it didn’t appear that any fish had been caught…

I think the fish are being careful to stay hidden under the bridge…

on Sunday night they came by again and the camera caught them right in the pond…

I spotted one of the fish sort of wedged under a rock, so I moved the rock and the fish swam away… it looks a bit scraped up, so I hope it will be okay…

I put two chairs across the spot where I think they are going into the water and then sprinkled Epsom salts around the rest of the pond…

emotions…

beloved, big girl pants, emotions, garden, hidden, house, iPhone, key, missing, safe, widow

the other night when I got dropped off at home I couldn’t find my house key…

stood at the back of my friend’s vehicle searching through my bag in the dark, dumping everything out, with no success…

they waited while I turned on my iPhone flashlight and headed to the back of the house to dig out the spare key…

brought back lots of emotions because when my beloved died I realized that I couldn’t just call him if I lost or forgot it… found a spot to stash it so I would be safe if I came home without a way to get in…

rather happy I was able to find it as I haven’t needed to use it since I put it in its hiding spot…

it was a bit dirty, but worked;-)…

and the next morning I put it right back to keep me safe…
