just about every time I walk up or down the stairs to the second floor, I stop and look out the window…

watching the garden change from day-to-day…

maybe a bunny, a cat, solar lights, new flowers, squirrels, birds, so many changes take place if you take a moment to look…

this photo shows a few solar lights, one of which was under the snow, lol…

soon it will be green again… please🤪…

last Thursday a person from Manitoba Hydro arrived at the door…

I was a bit surprised, because I was expecting an inspector on Friday to review, and hopefully, approve the gas hot water tank installation…

but the Thursday person was here to change the Hydro meter…

after they changed it they advised that it was wifi enabled and they would be able to read it from outside the house once it is hooked up to their system…

I was a bit worried because when I looked at the meter a while later it was still showing zeros across the board… but, by Friday, it was starting to move… woohoo…

and then on Friday, the inspector arrived late, but approved the work, whew… which is kind of good considering it was over a month since the tank was installed, lol…

a few days ago my Fitbit wouldn’t connect to my phone… very odd…

then, all of a sudden, the screen went black… I put it on the charger, but that didn’t make a difference…

eventually I went online and found instructions on how to restart the Charge 5…

I followed the instructions and put it on the charger overnight…

happily, it worked perfectly after that;-)…

today’s project was to get all the tax documents gathered, scanned, and uploaded to the accountant portal…

seemed like a simple piece of work, but…

that business of changing my email address keeps biting me in the butt…

because it was changed, and currently, my new email isn’t available on the main computer, it involved a number of phone calls to get help…

eventually I was able to get into the portal, and after scanning all of the documents, upload everything…

I am always so pleased when everything is completed and on its way…

now to wait to hear back from them…

the fireplace made its way to the garage on October first…

it stayed there for quite awhile… during that time my housemate put it on a few for sale sites…

there were very few inquiries, but we weren’t in any rush to get rid of it…

recently, a woman came, measured it, and arranged to pick it up when she found some strong backs to help with lifting/carrying, lol…

she arrived a few days later, with a helper, and with my housemate’s assistance, got it into her vehicle…

its new home will be at her dad’s cottage where it will be installed outdoors;-)…

sprang forward this morning, lol…

it is so much easier these days… most electronics in the house automatically change…

now the only items I have to change are the stove, microwave, coffee pot, and grandparent clock…

I didn’t mind the process even before then because it was simple to change a phone, or anything else, by moving it forward, unlike changing it backwards in the Fall…

went to Costco on Wednesday morning and clearly picked a great time as parking was easy and the store wasn’t too busy…

I was very happy that the frozen raspberries I use were not a product of the USA, and neither was the Parmesan cheese…

it is kind of difficult on most packaging to find the information that tells you clearly where it comes from 😬…

it was much warmer for a few days last week and when I went to check the doorbell camera one evening, it was impossible to see anything…

after cleaning the camera portion, it was much easier to see…

made me laugh as it hasn’t been working due to the cold weather…

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…

my favourite, and most used, burner on the stove stopped working all of a sudden…

I called Hameed Appliances, was sent a form to complete, and got an appointment the next day…

Ron, who has been here previously, arrived and had a look… to replace the piece with a new element was going to cost $500, so I am waiting to see if they might have access to a used element…

otherwise, I am going to leave it, thinking of my mother-in-law, who used to cook on a little stove that only had two usable burners… she could produce a meal with 3 vegetables, potatoes, and a roast, without any problem, lol…

we will see what I can do;-)…
