it was very cold this morning 🥶…

it looked beautiful outside with everything covered in fresh snow…

I waited until around 10 to go out and blow the snow off the front steps and sidewalk so that it would be clear for the mail carrier…

today, I did not clear a path through the grass to the neighbours’ house… it was too cold;-(…

the sun was shining, but the wind kept blowing the snow back up at me, covering my leggings, my jacket, and my boots…

I was happy that I’d left my glasses in the house as my face also received a lot of blowing snow on it, lol…

I do believe that winter has arrived… even if it isn’t December 21st… feels like the sundogs are showing it;-)…

snowflakes…

so excited today to get my new winter boots…

the pair I’ve been wearing for well over twenty years have begun to fall apart in front of me;-(…

I wanted Canadian-made and decided to try Vessi… besides being made in BC, they are also waterproof…

I had hoped to try a pair on and went to the mall, but they aren’t carried in Manitoba…

so, I took a chance and ordered them online and was pleased to get free shipping…

I ordered them last week and they arrived today…

and they fit… I was worried as often when I’ve tried pull-ons, they wouldn’t go over my ankles, but I had no problem… yay…

now they will get put away for when the snow starts in the Fall and the falling apart pair will sadly head to the landfill…

shhhhh… the snow is gone from the front yard…

and I finally took a few minutes to straighten up the rain barrel which had been blown over weeks ago from some of the crazy winds we’d been having…

now we are ready for some rain;-)… and plants popping up from the ground…

day-to-day…

just about every time I walk up or down the stairs to the second floor, I stop and look out the window…

watching the garden change from day-to-day…

maybe a bunny, a cat, solar lights, new flowers, squirrels, birds, so many changes take place if you take a moment to look…

this photo shows a few solar lights, one of which was under the snow, lol…

soon it will be green again… please🤪…

trails…

fun to watch the garden after the snowfall to see any fresh trails…

the bunnies have been busy…

even caught some through the window into the neighbour’s yard… their trails are made by dogs, not bunnies…

yesterday, I took some photos of the sticky note that is on the mirror at the front door…

in the summer it is often located on the front door so that visitors know I am in the garden;-)…

I took the photos as I was eagerly anticipating spending time in the garden because this is how it was looking outside;-)…

that was at 2:45 pm when I laid down for a nap… when I looked outside at 5:45 pm it looked like this…

and this morning, this is what I saw outside…

another giggle from Mother Nature, lol…

so it was a lovely treat… had to crop the photo quite a bit, lol…

there continues to be snow on the ground, but as the temperature is starting to stay above zero, hopefully it will continue to melt away;-)…

the weather has been a bit crazy lately… it was warm and then it changed and has been cold and windy for the last while…

today I took some photos…

the snow on the driveway had melted a bit and after the wind today, it looks like glass all the way up… hoping the car will still be able to make it without sliding down…
