caught a bunny in the garden this morning…hadn’t seen any for ages…
so it was a lovely treat… had to crop the photo quite a bit, lol…
there continues to be snow on the ground, but as the temperature is starting to stay above zero, hopefully it will continue to melt away;-)…

I’ve been taking pictures regularly as the view changes out the front window…
I was so happy this afternoon as I took this photo of the front yard… looks like the snow is slowly melting away…
looking forward to a snow-free front lawn…
and sadly, this is what the front door camera showed a few minutes ago, sigh…
sigh…

had my youngest grandson over for dinner last night…
had to think for a while to decide on what to make as the oven is still not working, lol…
decided on spaghetti with meatballs and sauce… while I was making the meatballs, I was remembering doing that with my dad… he made great ones and they were very small… and they never fell apart, lol…
mine came out okay, but a few of them did seem to disintegrate… I used the broiler, which is still working, to warm up the garlic bread…
my grandson is on a moneymaking kick as there is a big school trip planned for next year, so he did some shovelling for me in the garden… the plan was to move the snow around that was in the mountain at the edge of the deck… he did a good job;-)…
hopefully this will help in the melting process…

yesterday, at 8:00 am, saw the beautiful trees across the creek with the sun shining brightly on them…
at 11:30 big beautiful snowflakes were coming down…
at 5:00 pm the sun was shining and water was running down the street…
lots of changes throughout the day…

shovelled a path across the upper deck on Sunday morning… that way I was able to adjust the solar motion sensor… the squirrels had tipped it down on their trips back and forth…
it has been many, many, weeks since the deck had been shovelled… and in that time, the sun has frozen a number of layers so it was a bit difficult to get it cleared…
later in the afternoon I noticed that a lot of the remaining snow where I shovelled had melted away… so I made another pass…
this time I left a bit of snow to melt there…
my photos suggest that it looked like this in March of 2021… hard to believe, lol…

I’ve spent time yesterday and today shovelling ice that was right by the garage door… and I’ve got rid of it all;-)…
I’m very disappointed because water is dripping under the eavestrough all along the side of the garage… this hasn’t happened before, so I am wondering if it has to do with the roof being shingled last summer…
there is water inside which I will try to shovel/push out next time I go out… my beloved would not be happy with this… I did lean some boards against the outside wall which should help move the water away from the garage…
I will be interested to see how my arms feel tomorrow, lol… you really have to ram the shovel under the ice…

worked around the house today… never set foot outside…
did a number of loads of laundry, made zucchini basil soup, sorted through the tax file to be sure everything was there, paid bills online and watched skiing and skating on tv…
when I looked out the back, spotted the bunny… haven’t seen her for a few weeks…
when I looked out the front, got a lovely shot of the sun behind clouds…
snow is melting, even without much sunshine… woo hoo…

weather has been rather silly recently…
Thursday afternoon the sun was shining and there were puddles on the streets as I drove home… looked out the window in the evening and snow was falling…
Friday morning I took some pictures of the snow and the cool patterns that have formed as the snow melts…
since then there’s been lots of sunshine but temperatures have been below normal… today when the kids were here for dinner, the boys went down the street to play football in the field…
maybe, just maybe, Spring is coming…

stunning start to the day… caught this glorious sunrise as I headed downstairs this morning…
really excited to see water in the pond when I arrived home tonight… melting like crazy… yay…
happy it is Friday and Monday is my day off…
only one more Monday off, as starting in April I will be working Monday to Thursday every week… hoping the change won’t affect my bottom line too much…

it was lovely out this morning and I stood outside waiting for my ride…
lots of melting yesterday…
on my walk from the corner tonight took a few shots of the creek which was filled with water… amazing because it was overcast all day, not a single ray of sunshine…
the solar lights in the garden are on tonight… very exciting that the sun is strong enough to light them up…
maybe spring is here…
