a while ago, my grandson called to advise he hit a pothole and it dented the rim and blew the winter tire…

he was able to put on the spare and bring the car here to change to the summer tires…

the bolts on the other three tires were not moving, so after a number of phone calls the car ended up at Birchwood Toyota where the remaining tires were changed and aligned…

Indi always shows her sporty side when she has her summer rims on;-)…

looking good 😊…

this morning my grandson came over to put on the snow tires…

to get the car into the garage he first had to shovel the driveway…

I had made a narrow path from the house to the garage door so that I could take down the table and move things so he could do the work inside the garage…

tires got changed although he ended up only putting Indi in halfway for the front and back wheels… I had to take a photo with both the pretty summer rims and sad winter tires on at the same time, lol…

there was a lot of snow and it was wet and heavy, but he got it done, including the sidewalk and paths… I was pleased that he came in a few times to rest and visit a bit…

just as he finished, it started to snow again…

and off he went with proper winter tires on, which made me happy…

had the loveliest surprise on Friday… my son-in-law and two of my grandsons arrived in my garden… the oldest grandson was picking up my car so that the winter tires can be removed and replaced with the summer beauties – they have wonderful rims…

I stayed on the deck and they stayed on the grass… it was wonderful to see them and we had a nice visit…

while they were here my son-in-law got the pump running in the pond… I am so happy to hear the water cascading over the rocks… there was ice in the water as it has been below zero for a couple of nights…

they got the tires into their vehicle and we had to ask the moving truck that was parked right at the bottom of my driveway to back up so the car could get out…

too funny considering I haven’t taken the car out in 52 days, and the one day it needed to move, there was a truck in the way, lol…

it was great to see them as we haven’t been together since just before Christmas…
