out and about today…
this morning caught a few shots of the CMHR as we were driving by…
I’ve tried many times to get a good photo of this building but still haven’t taken one that really makes me happy…
while I was waiting for my supper to cook, I got a few photos of this squirrel… it has taken a fancy to the rain barrel and I’ve spotted it quite a few times but this was the first time I got a picture…

on the first day back to work, as I stepped out of the house, the ground was covered with a light dusting of snow…
I was at the garage door when a sweet bunny hopped into the garden…
had to stop and get a few photos, even though my hands were full, lol…
this morning as I was standing at the kitchen sink I noticed a bunny and a squirrel having a tiff in the neighbour’s backyard… seems like the squirrel won because the bunny went and hid behind a shed…
such fun to watch the critters…

this morning it was hard to tell whether there were more leaves or snow blowing…
not really what is expected at this time of the year, sigh…
I had been laughing just before because when I looked outside the bird feeder was on the ground and the squirrel and birds were enjoying how easy it was to get the seeds…
maybe the raccoon had come by and taken it off the pole… which had been leaning way over again…

beloved, big girl pants, flowers, garden, hibiscus, memories, roof, squirrel, taunt, upset, widow, yelling
just heard one of the squirrels outside yelling at something or someone…
reminded me of a couple of things…
first was the squirrel on the roof this morning as I was taking a picture of the hibiscus flowers…
it was quite upset that I was standing there and I suggested that it could stop the yelling as it was my roof and I wasn’t doing anything to cause a problem…
got the picture of the hibiscus, the cloudy sky and the pond that is losing water at an alarming rate again… could just be the amount of water falling with the wind and heat… we shall see…
was also thinking of the squirrel that used to holler at my beloved every time he would walk out of the house… or when he came out of the garage… just to taunt him, lol… eventually he caught it and we drove out to a forested area and dropped it off…
so, yelling squirrels bring back many memories, lol…

this morning I went for breakfast at the “A” with my grandson which was a lovely treat…
as we walked there he mentioned something about my having an opportunity to ride in a police car…
it reminded me that I had ridden in the back of a police car when they came to the door and drove me to the hospital when George died…
I don’t really want to do that again;-(…
there are still many days when the loss seems so fresh…
later in the day I spent some time in the garden… first opportunity to enjoy the warmth and sunlight… starting to look pretty good after the work done this week…
a squirrel came right up beside me while I was quietly reading in the sunshine…
still need the pond cleaned, the pump installed and the beds tidied…
much to do…

early this morning I went out for a hot tub… for the last few days the temperature in the tub has read 104 so I’ve had a few excursions out there…
I don’t usually have the phone when I am in the hot tub, but a bird was calling and I wanted to record the sound so my birdwatching friends could listen and identify it… it was a beautiful morning and besides the bird there were a few squirrels flitting about…
a bit later I ran out to get some grocery shopping done… perfect timing because the store had very few people in it… took quite a few trips to get everything into the house…
got all the stuff put away and prepared for my company to arrive…
my dear friend, who I haven’t seen in ages, came to help decorate for Christmas… we had such fun…
while I was hanging some ornaments in the dining room window caught this little guy on the rail of the front steps…
once we were done my friend headed home and I put all of the unused things back into the bins and carried them downstairs…
certainly was a full day… and the house looks wonderful…
let the celebrating begin…

big girl pants, deck, garden, hot tub, sleeping outside, space station, squirrel, stargazing, stars, widow
been planning to spend a night sleeping under the stars for a while and tonight is the night…
it was a lovely day and I spent a good part of it in the garden watching a red squirrel stash peanuts from the neighbour’s feeder…
there’s been a hole beside the back deck for a while and today this little guy spent time going into and out of it, lol…
now we know for sure who lives there…
my bed is nearly ready for tonight… just have to bring out the pillows…
the plan is to be in bed for the 9:36 fly past of the Space Station and then maybe a late night hot tub… looking forward to some great stargazing in the night;-)…

once again I spent a few minutes taking pictures of the clematis this morning…
so pretty…
got home and decided on an early hot tub as I’ve been feeling a bit under the weather…
just a I was planning to get out, the rain started… this picture shows where I was standing, lol… and if you look closely you might see the squirrel snacking at the feeder…
