Monday night I went out for a hot tub…

it had been warm during the day and there were a ton of icicles over the tub, so I sat in the opposite corner from usual so nothing could fall onto my head, lol…

as I stepped outside I could hear the ice crystals falling so I grabbed my cap to protect my glasses…

it was a bit chilly for anything above the water as the ice crystals continued to fall…

I am still having trouble with the Ring light, which I have to turn off from the garage, no matter what I try on the app…

I was out for quite a while and when I came inside I realized how much snow had come down, lol…

drip…

had some fun at the dining room window this afternoon… trying to get a photo of the icicles dripping…

not really successful, but got some lovely photos… took a lot… the icicles refused to drip when I wanted them to, lol…

the sky was quite lovely too…

I was still in bed when the doorbell rang…

ran downstairs to find Travis and Wayne from Bresara Window Cleaning here to clean the eavestroughs…

they were getting an early start on this beautiful day… they had cancelled a few weeks ago when the weather turned and everything was frozen, so they were going all out to get their appointments caught up…

they did a great job and now the loose eavestrough is connected so I won’t have to worry that it will fall into the hot tub when I’m in it;-)…

apparently, in the spring, we will have to replace a downspout which has cracked…

maybe there won’t be so many icicles over the hot tub this winter…

and while they were working on my eavestroughs, my neighbour had his ladders up and was installing his Christmas lights on his eavestroughs…

rumble…

yesterday morning, as I was watching tv, I heard a loud rumble and crash on the roof…

it sounded like it came from the back of the house…

I went and looked out the window into the garden and couldn’t see much…

went downstairs and looked out the back door and spotted some chunks of a huge icicle on the deck…

was a bit nervous when I went out a short time later hoping that there weren’t going to be any others falling on top of me…

as I backed out of the garage, saw another big icicle that must have fallen at the same time on the other side of the house…

there is just one left now and it is much smaller;-)…

shenanigans…

backyard shenanigans…

came across my bunny friend in the garden…

I feel a bit like she’s a pet;-)…

then much later I heard a loud noise but couldn’t see where it came from…

just a while ago, I looked out the window and spotted this icicle that had fallen onto the hot tub…

happy I wasn’t in the hot tub at that moment, lol…

windrow…

so happy with the shovelling done by my grandson yesterday…

he cleaned out the windrow at the end of the sidewalk which my shoveler hasn’t been able to clear… pleased as my friends have had to use the driveway rather than the sidewalk for weeks;-)… the driveway is sloped so the sidewalk is a safer walk…

he also cleaned off the back deck… there was a lot of snow on it… took ages for him to get this done…

this morning I had a lovely hot tub… it wasn’t too cold out and I enjoyed the quiet… I have been sitting at the opposite end as there are many icicles hanging from the roof and I don’t want any to fall and land on my head, lol…
