had to stop as I was backing out of the driveway this morning to take a picture of the glittering snow… so white, bright, shiny and clean looking…

  
lovely start to the day…

when I returned to the house I noticed two things… huge amounts of snow had melted throughout the day… here is the top of the deck just a few days ago…

  
this is the same spot tonight…

  
the sun shone with great strength all day… really noticed it on the drive home as there were many puddles and the snow banks had gone down a lot…

the final piece was in the bathroom… the cleaners come the first Monday of the month and they always fold the toilet paper like you are in a hotel…

  
I had prepared for them, but with the busyness of the day totally forgot they’d been here until I walked into the house and noticed how clean it was…

what a treat…

got up a bit early this morning to be sure I got everything done before heading to work…

had four boxes for pick up by a local charitable organization… in the middle of the night I woke to the sound of rain coming down…

that meant I had to put plastic bags over the boxes so they wouldn’t get ruined sitting on the steps for a portion of the day…

took a bit of extra time to get that done so I was just finished when my ride arrived…



very happy with myself for getting these items pulled together and out of the house…

think the rain melted away lots of snow during the night and then the sun worked hard all day… couldn’t believe how much was gone when I got home…



the deck is almost completely cleared… maybe I will be able to sit out on the weekend… the temperature is often much warmer there than elsewhere in the yard…

Spring is really coming:-)…

full…

very full day…

started this morning when I went through the closet and colour-blocked the clothes… in the process filled another pass-me-over box…

lots of purple, lol…

also made another arrangement of flowers… decided I want some in every room…

ordered lunch from my favourite dimsum restaurant before heading out to do errands… I love shrimp dumplings and stuffed eggplant and it was delicious and filled me up…

beautiful temperature out and on my way home took this picture of the water at the end of the street…

picked up a cute wine rack… now have to fill it… put everything away, had a nap and watched some tv…

have added some chemicals to the hot tub, but had to stop when the snow started coming down like crazy…

great supper of leftovers… now to decide whether to go out for a hot tub in all that fresh snow, or not, lol…

warm…

the weather has been absolutely silly lately…

Friday night we walked back from our Christmas party in shoes and with our jackets open…

yesterday when I went out, I wore a spring jacket with a vest and was perfectly warm…

took this picture out the window this morning…

it went to zero Celsius today…

when I had an early morning hot tub today I had to wear a baseball cap as it was misting/foggy, but lovely and warm… as I sat there, I could hear water dripping from the eaves…

silly, lol…

it was warm enough that we were able to pull out dead plants from a planter on the steps and put in the spiral tree…

it looks lovely when the snow covers it… gonna have to wait a while for that…

the swag is on the outside of the door and the silver snowflake wreath is on the inside… looks good…

spent time organizing and decluttering…

feels like another productive day… maybe my energy is returning…

I was surprised this morning when I looked out the window and spotted the edge of the top portion of the pond…

20140416-210046.jpgyou can see the small gray spot in front of the waterfall rock…

there is still lots of snow in the backyard, even though every day you can see more has melted… maybe there really is going to be a Spring…

when I walked up the sidewalk tonight I realized that one of the front flower beds was almost completely clear of snow… seemed like just a few days ago the snow was a couple of feet deep…

20140416-210837.jpggoing to have to clean out the bed soon, although the ground will probably be frozen for some time…

warming…

a beautiful day… had a lovely nap in the warm sunshine this afternoon…

the neighbour had his motorcycle out…

when I was outside, in my bare feet on the deck, putting chemicals in the hot tub, I could hear the snow melting from the garage roof… you can actually see the snow melting away…

had windows open for the first time for a good portion of the day… very nice…

just had a wonderful hot tub… finally the temperature feels like Spring…

wondering when all the snow will be gone…

bright…

took this picture from upstairs this morning… sun was shining

20140315-213941.jpg you can see how the snow is melting on the deck rail and even on the bench…

went for dim sum with the kids and then we went to pick up a bit more wool and of course we found a few other bits and pieces… I got a ceramic knife and look forward to testing it out tomorrow…

stopped at the mall for a while and when I finally got home I had a nap…

later I had the left over dim sum for my dinner…

last night I had a lovely hot tub… it wasn’t very cold and clouds were floating across the sky while the nearly full moon shone brightly… lovely and quiet as the jets didn’t come on… nice treat…
