Wednesday morning after I had my breakfast, I walked over to Ultracuts for a haircut… I had called and they weren’t busy so I moved quickly, lol…
it has been very icy for quite some time so I was a bit concerned as I wondered if the sidewalks would be clear… and, happily they were…
it was great to get the haircut because the last few home cuts were poorly done, lol…

walked to and from the “A” on Sunday morning…
it took a bit longer than usual as it was icy so the walking was a bit treacherous…
but it gave me the opportunity to get a few photos of the beautiful trees…
happy to get outside and enjoy the fresh air…

this morning the snowploughs came down the street and filled in the sidewalk and left a bit of snow in the driveway…
they also ploughed a big slice of my grass so that the fire hydrant is accessible… it will be interesting to see how it looks in the spring…
something I’ve learned over the last few years is that it needs to be shovelled as quickly as possible, so that it doesn’t turn into a solid lump of ice which can’t be moved…
I had finished the end of the sidewalk and was just starting on the bottom of the driveway when my grandson arrived and finished it off…
everything was icy… it had rained a bit last night and then froze so the cement was slick…
I was happy that he finished the driveway because my boots were slip sliding away…
but it was all done in a short time and hopefully the ice will melt over the next day or so… if it doesn’t I have a supply of ice melter that I can put on the ground…

been thinking a lot about people struggling with mental and physical health these days…
I usually feel down in February and March and I think it has to do with the lack of light and cold weather… of course this being the time of year that I lost my beloved has added to the negative feelings…
many of those I speak with at this time of year are having similar struggles…
maybe we focus on our aches and pain more because we are getting out and about less, lol…
my knee has been bothering me for about a week now and it is frustrating because I can’t figure out what I did to it…
I will be so happy when I can get out and walk to the Park again without having to worry about freezing temperatures and icy sidewalks… and be able to smell fresh air…
