sprang forward this morning, lol…

it is so much easier these days… most electronics in the house automatically change…

now the only items I have to change are the stove, microwave, coffee pot, and grandparent clock…

I didn’t mind the process even before then because it was simple to change a phone, or anything else, by moving it forward, unlike changing it backwards in the Fall…

only took seven minutes to shovel the front sidewalk and a path to the driveway…

didn’t need to shovel to the neighbours as Canada Post isn’t coming right now…

a nice start to the season, the snow was light and fluffy and there wasn’t too much of it ;-)…

moved a few plants around in the living and dining rooms…

the mandevilla made its way to the dining room…

and the hibiscus moved to the living room and it might still switch with the monstera…

it will be interesting to see if they will be happy in these new spots as the hibiscus has always lived in the dining room…

during the basement changes the Philips Hue was unplugged…

once we realized that some of the lights weren’t working, it was plugged back in, but it would not start up again…

apparently this does happen, so we ordered a new one…

it arrived on Thursday and my grandson connected it and then had to add all of the units back in, lol…

took a while, but eventually everything was back up… then I added them to the automations and adjusted all their colours… kept having to add more units to the automations, as I remembered which ones were in which…

I was very happy because the lightstrip that runs up the stairs had been off and it has been the nightlight when I am using the stairs at night…

the lightstrip that goes over the fishtanks has been on all the time, so it was good to get it back to being off at night…

I do love technology;-)…

was thinking of my dad as I was making scrambled eggs recently…

he was a great cook and always used a fork when scrambling eggs… he said it made them fluffier… he always added a touch of milk or water as he prepared them…

it was a lovely memory around Father’s Day;-)…

he was a very special person and I think of him often…

two lovely things today…

we went to Canadian Tire for a few things and when we got back to the car, we spotted these two cuties;-)…

reminded me of the two deer that walked down the street on Monday afternoon;-)…

and this was the sky tonight at 9:00 pm…

so exciting to have the light at this time of night….

nice treats…

so happy to see that all the solar lights came on after a day filled with sunshine…

what a treat…

the funny part is that this one set wasn’t working for the longest time (as in, over Christmas) but started up in the last few weeks…

and is doing a blinking pattern…

it is such fun to see them light up as it gets dark out…

at some point I guess I will need to turn off the trees in the planters, but I am enjoying them too much right now;-)…

not too long ago I saw a cool use of a shower caddy…

it had been tucked in a corner of a room and had puck lights under the shelves to provide light for each of the plants…

I’d been looking online but hadn’t yet ordered one… here’s the spot where it will go…

today I got a shelf from Home Depot and we made a few adjustments as we put it together;-)…

ended up leaving the top portion of the pipe off and using some cord holders and zip ties to attach the pipe to the wall…

I decided not to use any additional lights as the spot this is set in gets a lot of light…

I am pleased with how it came out… and may have to get a few more plants, lol…

at last the sun came out late yesterday afternoon…

instead of a nap, I decided to read in the beams of light… and when I went out for my hot tub, the full moon was visible, woohoo…

this morning the sun was out again and I was so excited that I took a few photos in the bedroom as I admired the sunshine on the bed…

that sunlight makes the flowers even more beautiful;-)…

I have spent as much time as possible in the light, even spent some time on the deck…

been doing a bit more window covering with bubble wrap…

it has worked great on the front and back doors…

yesterday, I put some up on the bedroom window, after I took off the screen… I covered one completely and did half of the second one so I could still see out…

I was thrilled to discover that the bubbles for these two panels were heart-shaped;-)…

how cool is that…
