what a delightful day…

I spent a good part of it in the garden, moving from one area to another…

at first it was because I was trying to stay partially in the sun… then out of the sunshine as it was very bright and a bit warm…

then, later it was to get into the sunshine to keep warm again, lol…

and I had some fun taking photos of various flowers…

what a lovely treat, particularly as the weather has been dull, overcast, and rainy for the last few days…

I am blessed…

sat out on the deck on Thursday morning…

it was fairly warm, but windy…

I took my slippers off to get some sun on my feet and had one foot on a slipper, but crossed my leg with the other…

all of a sudden the second slipper blew right off the deck, lol…

I hopped on down, brought it back up onto the deck, and slid both of them under my foot;-)…

got to sit outside on the deck Sunday morning… yay:-)…

moved the chairs into their usual spots, took off the covers, brought out the clean cushions, and put them on the chairs…

got out the broom and swept up the cedar bits and elm leaves that were all over the deck… even used the leaf blower to finish up…

put on a light jacket and brought out tea and my book and enjoyed the sun, birdsong, and my book for a wonderful hour and a half;-)…

haven’t made it out since then, what with the snow and overcast skies🥺…

finally had the time to spend curled up in the sun on the bed… usually by the time I think of it, the sun has already left the bed;-)…

it was warm and cozy, lol…

so happy that the season is moving forward and before you know it, there will be time spent on the deck in the sunshine as well…

spent some time with the fish recently, cleaning the front glass on the three tanks…

the sunlight causes algae to grow along the front of the tanks, so every now and then they need to be cleaned…

the fish often think they are getting a treat as the mag-float cleaner moves along the front, lol…

the good news was that we’ve had a good deal of sunshine lately;-)…

had a delightful morning yesterday…

spent time talking with the plants as they were watered and turned… a few are struggling with the move indoors but most are happy…

then I spent a glorious hour on the deck, in the sunshine, reading my current novel…

yesterday I had lunch on the deck… in my winter coat and bare feet, lol… I must say, my fingers were cold by the time I was done, lol…

today, I was out without a coat, although I did have a blanket over my legs and slippers on…

I spent hours out there in the sunshine and didn’t come in until the chair was in the shade at which point it was too chilly to stay out…

reading, a lovely lunch, and warm fingers;-)…

to continue with the strength of the sun, I got this photo of one of the solar-powered lights…

it is one of four that I received from the Ottawa kids… I had put three away, but left this one out…

rather excited to see the lovely pattern of light on the deck;-)…

spring is really coming…
