woke up to this…

  
part way through the night the wind finally died down… apparently it was gusting into the 90 km per hour range at the airport, which is close to where I live… the whole house shook for a good part of the evening… didn’t really sleep well until it slowed down…

cold with a bit of wind during the day, but eventually the sun came out and melted the majority of the snow…

my daughter and the little boys came over for supper and she helped me put the swing back on its feet… sadly one of the spokes on the umbrella part of it broke, so we will have to see about getting that repaired…

 
the ground is covered with elm seeds, leaves, twigs and small branches that have come down… good news is that the tree stayed right where it was supposed to…

didn’t get out today but had a good walk on the treadmill…

had a fun time taking a few shots of the lobelia… I do love the flowers and enjoy taking the pictures…
