someone built a very nice snowperson a few weeks ago and it has been happily sitting in the field across the way and I’ve enjoyed watching it…
recently, with the warmer weather, it has started to shrink a bit;-(…
and yesterday, when I looked out the back, I noticed this lovely necklace hanging from the bird feeder…
looks like a cool sculpture… wonder how it will look next…

today I had lunch at Promenade Cafe and Wine... excellent mussels and fries… yummy…
took me half an hour to walk there but only twenty minutes to get back, lol… there were some icy patches but on the whole the walkways were clear…
great to spend time with a good friend…
had a peek at the Great Ice Show Winnipeg as I walked past it… looks big and beautiful…
after work went for a pedicure with two colleagues…
final product – purple toes…
after the spa… two pedicures and one manicure later… we went to Ripe Bistro and Lounge for dinner…
had an interesting salad and three mini seafood sliders… made me giggle because I was surprised when they came on buns, duh…
lovely evening and our opportunity to debrief after a big event…
enjoyed a gorgeous ice sculpture out the window of the restaurant and discovered that the chef had carved it…

busy day… tidied up from last night’s dinner and started on some healthy turkey soup and dumplings for tonight’s potluck party…
had a little time with my girl before they headed out for breakfast with another friend…
first time I watched Shadow leave without me…
the party was a great success and lovely to visit with these young people whom we have known for basically their entire lives…
the house was full of people, many in the kitchen, having lots of fun…
some of the girls visiting… the dumplings and soup were a big hit… and tasty…
some story time…
early today got a lovely shot of the pergola along the garage and the lovely sculpture the snow and wind have produced…
very full day…

a couple of days ago my iPhone wouldn’t let me take a picture, because it said it was full… at the time I just deleted a few pictures and forgot about it…
earlier today a message flashed across my screen about memory being full…
tonight I spent about an hour copying and then deleting pictures…
I took this one as I was heading toward the car after dropping off our mail…
this sculpture is called Emptyful and has water coming down as well as mist floating through the air… at night the lights on it rotate through three or four colours…
emptyful…
you have to be careful which side you walk through so that you don’t get misted on… always seems to be misting on overcast cool days and it never mists on you on the hot days as you walk past…
the weather has been a bit odd, mainly cloudy and cool, and the blue sky was just starting to emerge as I was leaving work… rain has been threatening for a few days but keeps holding off… tomorrow morning I am going to have to water the plants in the garden… that will probably bring the rain, lol…
