so excited today to get my new winter boots…

the pair I’ve been wearing for well over twenty years have begun to fall apart in front of me;-(…

I wanted Canadian-made and decided to try Vessi… besides being made in BC, they are also waterproof…

I had hoped to try a pair on and went to the mall, but they aren’t carried in Manitoba…

so, I took a chance and ordered them online and was pleased to get free shipping…

I ordered them last week and they arrived today…

and they fit… I was worried as often when I’ve tried pull-ons, they wouldn’t go over my ankles, but I had no problem… yay…

now they will get put away for when the snow starts in the Fall and the falling apart pair will sadly head to the landfill…

the sky was beautiful this morning when I looked out the window first thing…

a few minutes later I got another view…

the clouds were very interesting…

a bit later I watched geese flying low overhead as they headed out for a meal;-)… they were moving quickly and my phone was in my pocket…

but it is also great to just watch them and not worry about capturing a photo;-)…

the sky is so wonderful…

I was up late to watch an F1 race and got a notification from the doorbell camera advising there was an animal in view…

checked the app and spotted a deer, so I raced downstairs and watched a deer looking for a snack beside the cedar…

watched and followed it across the yard to the bird feeder…

and spotted a second one;-)… it was entertaining to watch their antics as they tried to get the sunflower seeds out of the feeders…

while I was watching, three more came into view👀…

such a treat to be able to watch them until all five headed off to follow the creek over towards the airport…

because I don’t pay for a subscription, the camera only shows the past three hours before activities vanish, so I don’t always get to see them, lol…

day-to-day…

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 😬…
