the snow fell for two days… my driveway is covered and I wasn’t sure that I could get out, and then back in…

I needed groceries for Thanksgiving dinner with my grandsons on Monday so yesterday I shopped online at Save-On-Foods…

you pick your items, many from the list of previous items you’ve purchased in the store, choose a delivery time (usually the next day), pay with your credit card and you are done;-)… it costs $10 for this service…

they call you in the two-hour window when they are nearly at your house, bring in the groceries and advise if there have been any substitutions…

then off the driver goes and you get to put away your groceries…

although, I need to work on figuring out how much things like mushrooms and Brussels sprouts weigh in kilograms, lol…

it started snowing yesterday morning and has barely stopped since then… I’ve spent the day taking pictures…

around 7:30 I took a few photos out the front and back…

a bit later I went outside to shovel the front sidewalk and the back deck that leads to the garage and hot tub… that was around 9:30…

I looked out the front door at noon to see this…

hard to tell that I shovelled, lol…

shots from 2 and 7…

not going to look anymore tonight, lol…

will have to check it out in the morning… am going to have to find someone to shovel the driveway;-)…

for the last few days I’ve been watching the flickers on the roof of the garage enjoying the berries on the Virginia creeper… it has been a nice distraction as I go up and down the stairs, still using the cane…

they seem to gather around this time of year to fill up on ants and berries before heading south…

the other interesting thing about them is although they are woodpeckers, usually I see them on the ground, or in this case, on the garage roof…

simple…

been thinking of all I am grateful for in my life…

things as simple as my beautiful morning glories…

the option to take a cab somewhere if that makes the most sense…

the ability to make whatever I would like for my dinner…

opportunities to visit with friends…

being able to thank special people…

having time…

last year around this time we went out to Falcon Lake for some camping fun…

I picked up the cutest magnetic screen protectors, shaped like butterflies… I put the three of them on the patio screen door…

recently I caught this picture of an actual butterfly on the screen…

wondered if it was having a visit with its magnet friends, lol…

this morning had a great walk to the Park…

on my way saw a bunny and a gaggle of geese… crossed the street so as not to disturb them… was a bit of a surprise to see them on a sidewalk, but maybe they were checking out the Little Library, lol…

crossing the walking bridge I spotted a brief of pelicans… I think there were nine in total and there was a cormorant with them… it was clearly preening time…

my camera battery quit midway through my walk so I took the rest of the photos with my iPhone… it always makes me giggle when it announces that it is exhausted, lol…

today I seemed to lean toward white…

although I did focus on a few frogs, lol…

a much less crowded visit than the one on Sunday… the one sad thing was that our bench was being watered so I couldn’t sit…

ended the visit checking out the ducks and geese at the Riley Family Duck Pond…

woke up at 6 to pouring rain… by 8 it was done and the sun came out, although it was windy… we spent the day on the water…

early morning water drops on the boat…

throughout the day we spotted many geese, a pileated woodpecker, two deer and a fawn, an eagle, maybe an American Three-Toed woodpecker, and one very large Jack fish which my son-in-law caught…

bacon, eggs and hash browns for breakfast and steak, baked potatoes and onions, with mushrooms for dinner… pretty fine eats;-)…

cool temperature-wise but a great day;-)…

the flowers were at the dock… the moss covered tree is at the campsite…
