I’ve been watching the solar lights in the garden over the last few days and have noticed that they are lighting up, having not been working for the last few months…

clearly the sun is getting much stronger, even though it has been cold…

so, tonight I was trying to get a shot of the solar light on the deck working and was stunned to see a coyote cross the pond and go behind the tarp which covers the outdoor furniture…

of course, I wasn’t fast enough to catch it in a photo…

I am a bit worried that it might be using the tarp as a den, so we will have to check into that in the morning 😬…

reading in the sun is delightful;-)…

over the last week I have read three Louise Penny books, one after the other…

it appears that I like her writing, lol, so will be picking up a few more…

today I was sitting in the sunlight reading the last one…

I had fun setting up the selfie stick to get this shot, particularly considering that I don’t use it too often…

but I can now set it up, connect the button to Bluetooth and take photos easily;-)…

was so tickled on Thursday morning… I spent just under an hour sitting on the deck reading in the sunlight…

the temperature was 3°C, and the weather channel suggested it felt like -2, although the deck is often warmer…

it was a bit of a process as I had to bring out a cushion for the chair and a small table for my tea, lol… I wore my winter jacket and had my Assiniboine Park Conservancy blanket over my legs, although I was in my slippers and was very comfortable…

what a treat to feel that warmth on my face…

and, when I went upstairs to lay down, the sun was shining along the bottom of the bed, so I napped sideways, with scrunched up legs;-)…

it has been rather cool in the mornings, so I have been watching a bit of tv as I eat my breakfast…

I had to put cushions over a piece of glass on the desk, because the sun was reflecting right into my eyes, lol…

following my learnings from the webinars I’ve been watching, I had a bit of fun taking some photos of me sitting and reading in the sunshine…

it is wonderful when the sun starts to feel warm when sitting in it…

these photos were taken with my Nikon on the tripod… it was fun to play with the lighting and timer, lol…

the sunlight is also coming back into the kitchen, and I took a few shots there using my iPhone…

as long as I don’t look outside and see all the snow I can celebrate that spring really is on its way…

over the last week I’ve been enjoying the sunlight…

in the morning it is shining into the den, which it hasn’t done for months…

and in the afternoon it now shines on the spot where I usually sit…

yesterday, I sat on the deck in the sunshine for an hour… and the sun was warm on my body…

spring is coming;-)…

had a relaxing and productive day…

after finding another skein of wool, I finished (again) my little throw, lol… it is a good size now and will keep me warm on cold days in the den…

followed by pancakes and chicken livers ordered in for my lunch (and supper)…

then I had a lovely time taking photos of some of the roses…

ended the afternoon reading in the warm sunlight in the living room…

Monday I considered turning on the bedroom light when I first got up…

there is less light every day, sigh… this is always one of the sadder happenings mid August…

at night I am now turning on the lights that run along the bannister on the stairs… those lights haven’t been on for months…

time is flying by more and more quickly…

although later in the evening I did enjoy spending a few minutes at the window as I was going downstairs to watch the solar lights start twinkling on… arrived at just the right moment;-)…

have to celebrate the little things…

the sun has been shining through clouds a lot lately but I haven’t been able to get any pictures…

last night, while we were waiting for the soccer game to start, I had the chance to get a few…

also excited to catch the moon in amongst the clouds too…

after I was dropped off I took a few pics of the clouds out the front…

in the end there was no game as the lightning kept coming, although we did get to have ice cream…

but look at these amazing soccer cleats;-)…
