I’ve been getting my Friday dinner for most of December and into January from Modern Plate Catering…

a number of weeks ago, when it was delivered, Curtis, the delivery person, asked if I had salt and then sprinkled it on my steps and sidewalk, which were covered in ice… how kind was that;-)… it is so nice to get to know the members of businesses, particularly in these trying times… the next week he brought salt with him!

today, when he and Lindsay dropped off my dinner, he had already shovelled the steps before I opened the door… he was prepared to shovel the sidewalk as well, but I told him not to…

good customer service is so important and makes me try harder to use good companies again and again;-)…

especially when the food is delicious, lol…

was a busy day yesterday… very few people are coming into the house nowadays…

once a month the cleaners are here and during that time I am in a room they don’t clean…

my grandson sometimes steps into the house, although he usually just leaves things for me on the front step…

other than that, no one crosses the threshold…

yesterday two people come into the house… I had planned to meet with both of them in the garage, but it was too cold for that so they both came in…

a lot of cleaning after they each left, with no help from these guys…

I’ve been watching a bunny in the garden when I hot tub … a few days ago I spotted it on the deck…

recently I walked into the kitchen and saw it at the feeder on the deck, so I tiptoed into the living room and got my camera…

quietly made my way back to the kitchen and snuck up to the patio door and took a few pictures….

so cute…

I’ve been contemplating the thought that nature makes music, if you take time to listen…

reminded me of early mornings when I hear the birds outside… in the spring, summer and fall, I listen to the water flowing into the pond and the great variety of singing going on as the birds welcome the new day…

the geese, the rain, the wind… the quiet after the snow falls…

so much to listen to…

yesterday the quote I reviewed was about facing the light and thus putting the shadow behind…

made me think of the juxtaposition of light and shadow which had me wandering around my plants and taking photos being sure that my shadow didn’t affect the pictures…

it was was relaxing and I appreciated the time…

what a wonderful day yesterday… slept in, and when I got out of bed, saw hoarfrost on the trees out the bedroom window…

as I passed the window on the staircase, I spotted a bunny having a snack… first one I’ve seen on the deck this winter…

and the views out the window were wonderful… I even went outside a couple of times to get a few photos… some when it was overcast…

and some in the sunlight…

so beautiful, and a reminder of a day with my beloved when we took a drive to photograph hoarfrost…

about an hour ago, the city plowed the front street…

they did a great job of cleaning the end of the driveway, but the sidewalk always gets plowed in…

I put my supper in the oven, got dressed, and went out to shovel the end of the sidewalk…

I have learned over the years that if it isn’t removed immediately, it freezes into a solid block of unmovable ice…

knew that I had a small metal shovel in the garage and where it was, so I found it and cleaned all the clumps up…

went well and got it tidy for anyone who is delivering mail, parcels or treats;-)…

I’ve been frustrated for a long time because I couldn’t find my Kobo reader… I think I started the search around May…

I came across it ages before that and put it away carefully, sigh… at that point I also had no idea where the charger was for it…

so, I knew it was here, and I’d been searching everywhere for it, particularly after my daughter suggested that one of the universal chargers would likely power it up…

I’ve been using the tablet, but that only works in the house due to the way that the light bounces off it outside… so that meant I needed paper books all summer, lol… I still have one last book from my last online summer purchases…

this morning I was tidying in the bedroom and there it was tucked in along the edge of one of the shelves…

honestly…

and I even found a charger that worked, from my old Blackberry, lol…

woohoo… gonna get reading;-)…

yesterday I took out the recycling and garbage… Friday is our usual pick-up day, but because of Christmas it was moved to Saturday this week…

I don’t put the bins out every week, but they were getting full and it was a beautiful day… bit of an issue getting over the mound behind the gate, but I managed okay, lol…

today, as I was listening to the trucks going down the lane I was thinking of all the people who don’t really get much, if any, time off while the rest of us are cozy and warm in our houses…

to all of those who support us in so many ways…

today my two older grandsons came by… one got dropped off so he could shovel, while the other went out for a few last minute items I needed… the main one being food for the fish;-)…

while he was out and about, the younger was shovelling… there was a lot of snow and it was heavy… put out some hot chocolate to warm him up…

the shopper returned and the elves loaded up the car with presents and goodies for their house…

a bit sad to see Indi with snow on her… she doesn’t have a garage for protection these days…

good news is that all the gifts have been sent on their way;-)…
