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…

caught a bunny in the garden this morning…hadn’t seen any for ages…
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…
and in the backyard the new snow has put a slight blanket over the decks…
enough already;-)…

spent a good part of Friday watching two elm trees across the creek being removed…
they’ve had the deadly orange dot on them since the fall, a sure sign their time was up…
because they were in a field it was obviously more difficult to take them down as they couldn’t get one of the big trucks close to them…
it was entertaining;-)…

had trouble staying focussed on my book on Wednesday as there was a lot of activity across the way…
two workers spent the entire morning stringing a new wire…
it was so cold I felt bad for them, but they seemed comfortable as I watched…
the most interesting thing was what appeared to be a torpedo shaped object which one person pulled along the line… I think it was winding the new wire around the old ones…
my beloved would have been able to tell me exactly what it was and how it worked, lol…
but, all of those goings-on really made it hard to concentrate on my book;-)…

went out for a hot tub on Sunday afternoon… and tested out my new toque…
can’t even remember the last time I was out in the daytime… it has been too cold at night and when it wasn’t the deck hadn’t been shovelled, lol…
I went out a few days ago and got the space cleared off so it was ready…
it was only -21°C and I had a lovely time, although the mitten that I had put the phone into got wet while I was taking pictures, lol…
sometimes the lens gets a bit foggy when taking pictures from the tub…
the mountain of snow is quite high and I am hoping we can move some of it because it is getting difficult to throw the snow over the top of it;-)…

Monday night I went out for a hot tub…
it had been warm during the day and there were a ton of icicles over the tub, so I sat in the opposite corner from usual so nothing could fall onto my head, lol…
as I stepped outside I could hear the ice crystals falling so I grabbed my cap to protect my glasses…
it was a bit chilly for anything above the water as the ice crystals continued to fall…
I am still having trouble with the Ring light, which I have to turn off from the garage, no matter what I try on the app…
I was out for quite a while and when I came inside I realized how much snow had come down, lol…

had my first Uber rides in Winnipeg…
went from home to Total Wrapture spa for pedicures, then on to San Vito for lunch, followed by a return trip home from Foodfare…
it was the perfect day for it as it was very cold, snowy, and windy…
one of the vehicles had automatic sliding doors, which was kind of fun…
after being trained in the process of ordering the ride, and other information on the app, I tried to sign up for it, but it was using my old email address, so we have to get that sorted out and then I will try it on my own…
a great experience, particularly with how quickly they pick you up after contacting them…

at 6 am, it looked great out the window… when I woke up again at 8, the window was covered with snow and it was blowing like crazy outside…
but my buddy and I went on an adventure anyway, lol…
when I started down the sidewalk I realized how deep the snow was, so backtracked and went down the driveway, which was clear…
as soon as I arrived home, I shovelled the sidewalk… some places were six inches deep…
didn’t do anything else as I assumed it was still going to blow more snow around…
looked good, especially from in the house, lol…
we will see how it looks tomorrow;-)…
