for the last week one of my knees has been a bit sore, so I have been taking it pretty easy…

today I was able to get in for a haircut and I got dropped off so that I could get there right away…

happy to have a tidy and lighter head, lol…

I decided to walk home as I could call and get a ride if I needed it should my knee misbehave, although it hasn’t given me any twinges for the last day or so…

I walked on the dry sidewalk along Portage, but when I turned onto the side streets I used the middle of the road as the sidewalks were covered in ice…

happily I made it home without any pain…

Tuesday went out and shovelled the sidewalks and steps again…

the sun was shining and it was a beautiful day, even though the weather app said it was -25°C…

the sun has been a bit elusive over the last while so it was a real treat;-)…

it had snowed a bit on Sunday and Monday, although there wasn’t too much on the ground…

took a few photos as I was working away, lol…

snow, sun, trees…

all make me enjoy the moments and try to capture them;-)…

well, it was called a blizzard, but it just felt like a lot-of-snow day, lol… Google tells me we had about two inches…

it looks pretty now that the sun has returned… and everything is very quiet… not sure how long that will last before cars and people take over the street…

hopefully, someone else is going to shovel the sidewalks;-)…

the kids came over on Tuesday to do some shovelling…

I am usually able to do the sidewalks and decks, but there is so much snow out there now that I can’t toss the snow high enough to get over the drifts, lol…

the driveway got cleared, which was nice, although as I don’t go anywhere, that isn’t so important these days…

part of the job was to level the tops of some of the piles in the back so I can manage again without the snow sliding back to where I had moved it from…

they were also able to widen the space where the windrow was at the front… it is much easier to walk to the front door now…

blessed to have the help;-)…

tonight I walked home from Portage…

it was a bit chilly, but a lovely walk… the streets were clear of snow and just a bit wet so my feet made it home unscathed…

really happy now that I know the sidewalks are in good shape so that I can start walking on a regular basis;-)…

although there is very little snow remaining on the ground, it snowed off and on for a good portion of the day… crazy…

the creek is full of water, nearly all the ice has melted… the mix of cold and warm and wind have slowed down the melt so it doesn’t look like it will overflow…
