hadn’t been in the hot tub for weeks… Sunday it was warm and I headed out… when I opened the cover I discovered that the water was only about halfway up the side… it was at the correct temperature so I got in and sat on the floor so that I was mostly under water…

then the jets came on and I got splashed… a lot… didn’t stay in too long after that…

dried off and figured out how to get water into it… had to do some fancy footwork to get the vent open so I could run the hose through it…

last night I was out for a hot tub under the nearly full moon… so nice… might have heard some geese…

what a treat to be back there…

woke up early this morning and enjoyed some lovely sky-watching…

saw the most interesting light pillar… not long ago many photographers in the province had noted multiple columns in the sky, so I was excited to have spotted it…

the moon was visible out my bedroom window… and then there was a lovely sunrise…

spectacular way to start the day…

this morning, rather than spend fifteen minutes on the treadmill, I had a lovely time taking photos of the moon…

although I used my tripod, next time I will use my headphones to take the photos so that the camera doesn’t jiggle…

still learning what this camera can do;-)…

started the day sharing tea and croissants with a very special person… such a lovely way to begin the weekend…

was going to grocery shop, but it just felt too cold, so home I came, lol…

the snow on the hot tub cover was amazing and it looked like the siding was melting… it wasn’t, thank goodness… a very cool optical illusion…

then it was laundry and sports on tv;-)…

this morning I had a happy surprise when I went by the window in the hallway…

it was around six am and the light was still glowing in the garden… the solar light had stayed on all night… surely a sign of warmer days and stronger sunlight…

had to go back to the bedroom to get my phone so I could get a photo of it…

as I drank my smoothie I also noticed the moon out the window…

every day is getting lighter… this makes me very happy…

yesterday was the official first day of Spring… this is what I saw out the windows and door this morning…

I did get to wear my lighter jacket as it is getting warmer, but unfortunately it was overcast all day, which is always a downer for me…

after a long day, partly due to the fact that I slept poorly last night, for supper I did get to have a few of my favourite rice rolls that a colleague surprised me with…

my son-in-law took this fabulous photo of the moon tonight in Ottawa at his Astronomy class where they got to spend time with a big telescope…

a bit jealous because my shots of the moon never look like this… obviously the sky wasn’t overcast there, lol…

there’s a beautiful full moon out there tonight…

didn’t even get my camera, just enjoyed a few wonderful moments of soaking it in…

my colleague is away but these tulips are patiently waiting her return… hope she gets back while they are still beautiful;-)…

yesterday I packed up a container of Easy Thai Shrimp Soup as it was my day to provide soup for Souper Thursday…

I had saved the recipe to my Pinterest page ages ago, but made it for the first time the night before… with a few changes as I went along…

as I left the house in the morning, I had to put down my bag and take a picture of the beautiful moon in the sky…

the soup was a hit… everyone loved it…

I brought home the last little bit and scoffed it down for my dinner as I watched the start of some of the Olympics, even before the opening ceremonies…

so excited for these next two weeks of sports…

got up at six am as I was heading into the office early with a colleague as we were carpooling…

hadn’t planned to get up early to watch the eclipse because it was supposed to be overcast…

when I looked out the window I was so excited to actually see the moon in the midst of the eclipse…

got out my camera and tripod and took a few pictures…

between taking photos and making my lunch I sat and watched the beautiful display out my front window…

what a glorious start to the day…

no spectacular shots but I did have lots of fun…

the sun shone all day even though it was fairly cold, which I discovered when I ran out to do an errand just after lunch…

the light really perks up my spirit…

this afternoon I got a few shots of a lovely bouquet in the office…

when I arrived home the moon was hanging right over the garage as I drove in…

tomorrow night into the early morning there is going to be a spectacular lunar display – a super moon, a blood moon and an eclipse… try to have a look when it is happening if you can… hoping for clear skies;-)…

just a few minutes later I caught this sky in the opposite direction…

lovely to have the moments to catch and enjoy the beauty around me…
