shovelled a path across the upper deck on Sunday morning… that way I was able to adjust the solar motion sensor… the squirrels had tipped it down on their trips back and forth…

it has been many, many, weeks since the deck had been shovelled… and in that time, the sun has frozen a number of layers so it was a bit difficult to get it cleared…

later in the afternoon I noticed that a lot of the remaining snow where I shovelled had melted away… so I made another pass…

this time I left a bit of snow to melt there…

my photos suggest that it looked like this in March of 2021… hard to believe, lol…

sidewalks…

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;-)…

walked to and from the “A” on Sunday morning…

it took a bit longer than usual as it was icy so the walking was a bit treacherous…

but it gave me the opportunity to get a few photos of the beautiful trees…

happy to get outside and enjoy the fresh air…

had a quiet day… it was snowing when I got up and didn’t stop until around 4 pm…

then the sun came out and it looked beautiful… looked being the operative word as, sadly, right now it feels like -30 Celsius… brrrrr…

spent a good portion of the day on the couch reading a book by one of my favourite authors and barely got my steps in… when I am into one of those books, it is hard to stop to get up and walk around…

but, was happy to take a few pictures of the lovely blooms around the space…

life is good…

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…

excited to discover the spotlight on the upper deck is working again…

it had been covered with snow for many weeks and I was thinking it wasn’t going to work in the cold…

as I was walking down the stairs on Thursday night, I looked out and saw the light….

apparently the warm and sunny weather uncovered the solar panel on the top of it, lol…

makes me happy, although the camera isn’t out there now…

not like there are fish in the pond that need to be protected, lol…

vents…

went out on Friday and shovelled the sidewalk and the path to the furnace vents…

it was cold and blowy, but there was quite a bit of snow that needed to be moved…

didn’t take too long and there was a lot of snow by the vents…

glad I got to it…

I was surprised to see this on the garage cam this morning… it is a bit blurry, and at first I thought it was a cat, but then I recognized the tail…

thought these guys were gone for the winter, lol… although I don’t care if they come by when there aren’t any fish in the pond for them to eat;-)…
