so excited today to get my new winter boots…

the pair I’ve been wearing for well over twenty years have begun to fall apart in front of me;-(…

I wanted Canadian-made and decided to try Vessi… besides being made in BC, they are also waterproof…

I had hoped to try a pair on and went to the mall, but they aren’t carried in Manitoba…

so, I took a chance and ordered them online and was pleased to get free shipping…

I ordered them last week and they arrived today…

and they fit… I was worried as often when I’ve tried pull-ons, they wouldn’t go over my ankles, but I had no problem… yay…

now they will get put away for when the snow starts in the Fall and the falling apart pair will sadly head to the landfill…

shovels…

this morning there was lots of activity in the lane…

many tools were used… the sledgehammer, two types of shovels, a broom and pails…

a lot of broken concrete, rocks, stones, and soil were gathered, piled into the back of a truck and then taken to the landfill…

but, it is much tidier and with a bit more work done to it, will be much more useful for placing yard waste;-)…

all that activity brought out a few neighbours as well, lol…

I’ve been thinking about all of the stuff I’ve given away over the last six months…

it makes me so happy to be able to share with others and not add unnecessarily to the landfills…

it is also getting easier to let go of stuff… and the simple way to arrange a pickup by going online is also helpful…

currently the hardest part is to remember to get up early enough to get all of the boxes onto the front steps…
