on Tuesday we made a trip to Costco for a few things, and came home with a birthday present for me…

I was treated to a very cool bird feeding station…

there were two tall feeders, plus a suet holder, with spots for two additional feeders…

it also has a baffle to keep the squirrels from getting up into the feeders… lol, we will see about that…

not sure the people who design these squirrel-free feeders have met Canadian squirrels…

today we put it together and went out to plant it in the front yard, at which point it started to rain… we made it in just before the deluge hit…

it was a bit crooked and not all the way into the ground, but when the sun came back out it got fixed and the filled feeders were added…

looks great;-)… what a lovely treat…

since the girls were born, I’ve been giving them books for birthdays and holidays… I’ve done the same for my grandkids, but now we’ve worked up to gift cards as it isn’t clear what they might like to read…

now I don’t really have anyone to buy books for, but I have a new neighbour who has just turned two, so I’m getting books for him now…

it is such fun to buy little people books…

recently I purchased a new set of nozzles for the hose after having looked for a long time for just the right ones…

today I used one to top up the hot tub and plunge tub…

this nozzle seems to have more pressure so the filling took way less time than previously;-)…

made me happy as it was a bit chilly out there…

I’ve been looking for ages for a narrow table to go behind the couch in the den…

at one point I even considered having one made by my handyperson…

then I found one that I liked the look of online and eventually decided to order it… it had a spot for a few plugs and usb ports as well…

the package arrived on Wednesday evening and my housemate took it downstairs and put it together while I was reading…

it came up on Thursday morning and went into the living room as I cleared off the table that was currently behind the couch…

after moving many pieces, the new table made it into its final spot…

electrical items were plugged in and then the plants made it onto it and the couch moved back into place…

it is the perfect height and length and looks excellent…

always happy when a project works out well…

over the last two or three weeks I’ve purchased a few different sets of Valentine cookie cutters as I’ve worked on a project…

the end result of the project didn’t turn out quite as well as I wanted, but after a lot of trial and error I was satisfied with the results…

so I decided to use the cookie cutters for their actual purpose, lol…

I made cookies for the first time in I don’t know how long…

I can’t even think of how many I have made over the years… I made them for every holiday for the girls’ classmates as well as for family and friends…

it was fun to make them again as I remembered so many I had previously produced…

they came out very nicely and we have been enjoying them…

Tuesday we went to Costco and I got a new set of attachments for the hose…

sadly, the current attachment has been leaking for awhile and the hose doesn’t expand without an attachment…

hoping that all three will work well… fingers crossed…

yesterday we went to Superstore for some groceries…

while we were in the checkout line I spotted these cute little heart-shaped containers…

they had no price tag, but I decided I needed them, lol… they ended up being about $4.00…

today I filled some of them with a few treats for a gathering of friends…

they are so cute and useful with their little covers…

and fun…

such fun on Wednesday as I went through my Nora Roberts book collection…

I reorganized all the books in alphabetical order and went through the trilogies and other items in the stockpile…

and then I ordered a few books to complete some of the trilogies…

can hardly wait for them to arrive;-)…

I have a small collection of heart-shaped objects and the other day I bought a new bowl to add to the collection…

I have really enjoyed using it;-)…

it is slightly larger but goes perfectly with the other three heart-shaped bowls I already have…

for the month of February I’ve been trying to use them as much as possible❤️…

had a fun time yesterday with my buddy…

we went clothes shopping and I got a beautiful lightweight purple sweater with pearls and silver dots on it… and it was on sale…

after that we stopped and picked up a few groceries before going to the Good Earth for the lunch buffet…

I got to visit with the koi for a few moments…

I even walked up from the end of the street, lol…

then there was a nap;-)…
