looked out the window after yesterday’s snow and spotted many tracks…
not sure if it is just one bunny or many, many bunnies, lol…
throughout the day carrot chunks vanished from the deck… got some photos of the visitors… no idea how many, but it sure was fun to spot them whenever I was in the kitchen…
by end of day, all of the carrot bits were gone…

one of the things I enjoy after a snowfall is seeing the tracks that the bunnies, squirrels and birds make…
it is fairly obvious that one or more bunnies are living under the deck… they climb a snowbank and then head underneath… there is lots of space under there…
the squirrels have been running around on the deck… likely the red ones are chasing the other squirrels and birds away from their stash…
soon the bunnies will be able to eat directly from the front feeders because the snow is getting so high, lol…
it is wonderful to have such a great view of nature just by looking out the windows…

was up very early but excited to spot a star out the window… we have had little sunlight for over a week and the sky has been gray day and night… the star meant there was actual visible sky out there… yay…
kept stopping what I was doing to get some shots of the sunshine…
had to put my visor down because of the sun… woohoo…
had some fun with the ornaments on one of the trees…
lots of shine from outside…
it is so beautiful outside with all the snow… have to stop every time I go by a window… more fun from the inside as it has turned very chilly out there… -30 Celsius at the moment…
the critters are making lots of tracks in the garden… have spotted a few squirrels but no bunnies so far, although there are lots of bunny paw prints…
realizing how comfortable those big girl pants are much of the time… I’ve sorted out shovelling and looking after things like the hot tub without the blink of an eye…
but I sure do miss my beloved…

started off the day listening to a lovely song that a friend had posted on Facebook… it was so nice…
then I headed out to do a bit of shopping… took a shot of the animal tracks in the backyard on my way…
went to pick up the pro-activ margarine I’m using and a few potatoes for tomorrow’s dinner..
had a bit of fun and came home with these…
three pairs of pants, three tops and a pair of shorts… most will be great for New York I think…
emptied, cleaned and refilled the hot tub… going to try a new process that is more natural and uses less chemicals…
takes quite a long time to empty, but a short time to fill… I had to take out a few bucketfuls before I could turn it on, lol… that’s never happened before…
for supper I made chicken and dumplings made with whole wheat flour… decided to divide the recipe in half, which I did for the dry ingredients… but then I used the liquid measurement for the whole recipe… came out a little interesting… and very light, lol…
not quite the usual colour and the pot looks disgusting as it was full and some of the dumpling overflowed down the sides… maybe I need to write the proportions down right in the recipe book…
enjoyed the day…

seemed like I was surrounded by creation today… some days it just jumps out at me…
on my way out to the car this morning stopped to take a picture of these bunny tracks…
came right up the steps to the front door…
at the office took some pictures of the tulips that arrived yesterday as part of a Lung Association fundraiser…
one of my colleagues really wanted a shot of the black centre ..
here’s a picture of my purple ones with a colleague seen through them…
just love flowers… how wonderful it is to see them all around the office…
as I walked up the driveway tonight I stopped to take this picture of the squirrel tracks…
and I enjoyed this creation in the afternoon… jumped off the shelf when I was picking up milk for the office…
oh my… unfortunate about the 270 calories for 5 chips… only ate 3… considered just having these for supper but eventually thought better of it, lol…

sun was out again today… yay…
spent a bit of time at the window watching to see if I could spot any of the critters that have made numerous tracks through the garden…
didn’t spot any… I’m sure that some are from the squirrels and the neighbourhood cats, but maybe some are from bunnies too…
finished up the laundry from when my company was here… now towels, sheets and tablecloths are all clean and put away…
tonight I treated myself to a shortbread cookie from a friend and one of my Lindt coconut balls… they only come out at Christmas time and my daughter brought me a little collection of them…
also have some Guylian chocolates to enjoy…
being careful not to have too many treats because I don’t want my A1C to be high when I next have it tested…
