the steps were covered with snow as I waited for my ride this morning… I do love the clean look after a fresh snowfall…

when we arrived at the office I had to go out and take some pictures of the snow on the trees, they were so beautiful…

after work my shoveler arrived and did a great job getting rid of the piles of snow… he did need to take a few breaks to warm up his fingers…

then off we went with his mom to have supper at Moxies and pick up a game… they dropped me at home and headed to their place…

there is so much beauty around us and often we don’t even see it…

look around and take a moment to enjoy what you are seeing…

this morning there was a light dusting of snow on the ground… made me take this picture of one of the cute cushions I purchased this year…

throughout the day whenever I looked outside it was snowing…

when it was time to leave the office there was lots of snow to shovel off the car… the temperature was quite warm and the roads were very sloppy…

we stopped at the grocery store and picked up a few staples which was great because I hadn’t shopped on the weekend and had run out of veggies…

it is beautiful out… the world is white… it isn’t snowing right now but there is supposed to be more overnight…

only yesterday we had been talking about the amazing quiet after a snowfall… looking forward to that quiet when I get up in the morning…

woke up to a bit of snow this morning…

IMG_0567
it was fairly dark when I took this picture first thing…

cold out, but not horrible… we were surprised at how fast many drivers were going… apparently driving like a maniac was a Friday morning style…

got to spend time with my grandson when he came to shovel… tonight we had chicken wings and kale and Brussel sprout salad for dinner… I ate nine and he had twenty one, lol…

after dinner he worked on homework while I had a little nap on the couch…

just before he was picked up he went out and shovelled the sidewalk again because it has snowed while we were having our dinner…

tomorrow is my soup day…

seemed to have trouble deciding what to make… been thinking about it for at least a week and didn’t make a final decision until today…

had everything at home so didn’t have to run out to the store which was great because we’ve had a bit of snow and my shoveler hasn’t made it over just yet…

had a good time preparing… cooked up carrots, celery, onion and garlic… first time I’ve used this new purple pot, lol…

put in spices, broth and tomatoes and simmered it for a long time…

just finished using my purple immersion blender to complete it… once it cools down it will go into the fridge and be ready for tomorrow’s lunch…

clear…

this morning I took this picture of the fresh snow on the ground… the window acted like a mirror and so the living room was clear as well…

kind of fun…

busy day and when I got home my grandson arrived to clear that snow…

he stayed for dinner and then headed home… on his way to the bus his dad turned up, on his way home from work, and gave him a ride… that made me happy because it is cold out there…

2015/01/img_0187.jpg
too chilly to hot tub and I am missing my time out there…

still searching for a good app to keep track of my blood sugar and what I have been eating… the ones I’ve looked at have very complicated food records so I will keep searching…

cleared…

spent a very quiet last day of holidays…

lots of TV watching and napping…

did a few chores around the house and got supper ready for the kids…

my shoveler worked very hard when he arrived…

that driveway is a lot bigger when there is five inches of snow on the ground and it is minus 40 with the windchill…

/home/wpcom/public_html/wp-content/blogs.dir/39f/43539991/files/2015/01/img_0150.jpg
all cleared now so I am able to exit the premises, lol…

guess that means I can get to work tomorrow…

covered…

this morning there was way more snow outside… everything was covered…

looking out the door...

looking out the door…

got a few great shots of the garden where the snow had made designs everywhere… couldn’t tell if it was the squirrel or bunny who left tracks in the snow…

when I opened the front door it was clear that a lot of snow had fallen overnight… my snow guy was busy today, but luckily I didn’t need to go anywhere, so could just look out and admire it…

deep snow...

deep snow…

spent time listening to neighbours’ with their snowblowers and shovels as they cleaned sidewalks and driveways…

de-cluttered a closet, put away Christmas ornaments and did some walking…

now to bed…

looked outside this morning and saw such beauty…

everything had been covered with a blanket of light fluffy snow…

/home/wpcom/public_html/wp-content/blogs.dir/39f/43539991/files/2015/01/img_0113.jpg
luckily I didn’t need to leave home… always so much more beautiful if you don’t have to go out in it, lol…

this afternoon my grandson came over and shovelled the sidewalk, driveway and back path…

/home/wpcom/public_html/wp-content/blogs.dir/39f/43539991/files/2015/01/img_0114.jpg
he did a good job and then came in for hot chocolate while we waited for his mom to pick him up, when she got off work…

a friend stopped by a few hours later and there was more snow on the ground… we went out for supper and while we were visiting the wind was blowing the snow around…

wonder what it is going to look like in the morning…

was up at 5:30 this morning and looked out the window to see a bunny wandering through the back yard…

Friday morning when I was putting out the garbage there was a bunny sitting in the middle of the back lane… spent a few moments watching until it moved into a yard…

those are bunny footprints…

it snowed through the night and a bit this morning… trees look stunning…

IMG_9513.JPG
the garden is beautiful all covered in the snow…

sunshine added to the beauty today…

got lots done… reorganized the laundry room by putting the dressers back… never did hear back from those foundation guys… did laundry and cleaned out the cabinets under the fish tank…

finishing the day with some tv…

when I woke up this morning I heard scraping outside… couldn’t figure out what it was… once I know what the sound is, I can ignore it, but when I can’t figure it out it makes me a bit crazy…

looked out the window and saw this…

IMG_9354.JPG
pretty isn’t it… fresh snow always looks wonderful… particularly if you don’t have to go out…

once I got downstairs I checked out the hibiscus which has three flowers and lots of buds…

IMG_9355.JPG
I did go out to the grocery store and the pet store… the driving was fine…

tonight Jeff changed the filters and hopefully the water will clear up…

many pretty things today…
