was hoping to sit on the deck Wednesday morning while I was waiting for Dynacare to turn up… the weather was supposed to be warm and sunny…

the sun did shine on and off, but the wind was chilly, so I didn’t sit out for long, lol…

the Dynacare technician arrived and took some blood for my next doctor’s appointment… they had trouble getting into the vein and told me I would have a bruise…

and I do…

yank…

well, had a surprise Sunday morning…

I opened the patio door to feel the temperature, and realized it had rained during the night…

and apparently there had been a strong wind as I discovered that one of the chairs on the deck had blown over and down the steps on the far side… the footstool was the only thing still on the deck…

went out and brought up the chair… had to yank one of the cushions out of the snow…

brought the cushions into the house, as well as the footstool, to dry out, sigh…

didn’t put the cover back on the chair… don’t want it to fly off the deck, lol…

pleased that I dealt with this early, as the next time I looked out it was raining;-)…

got to sit outside on the deck Sunday morning… yay:-)…

moved the chairs into their usual spots, took off the covers, brought out the clean cushions, and put them on the chairs…

got out the broom and swept up the cedar bits and elm leaves that were all over the deck… even used the leaf blower to finish up…

put on a light jacket and brought out tea and my book and enjoyed the sun, birdsong, and my book for a wonderful hour and a half;-)…

haven’t made it out since then, what with the snow and overcast skies🥺…

as I was laying in bed Sunday morning I heard my first geese flying overhead… woohoo…

just a few days ago I spotted some at Assiniboine Park in one of the fields…

I do love the sound as they fly past and it is certainly notification that Spring is really on the way…

I saw some later as they flew past the tree next door… sadly they didn’t end up in the picture, lol…

covers…

so happy because, finally, on Tuesday, we were able to pull the covers, that were frozen to the deck, off the chairs…

I was very frustrated because I couldn’t do it on my own and had to wait for my housemate to get home… much stronger arms, lol…

three of the six cushions had to go into the bathtub to dry as they were all very wet…

the other three just went by the backdoor, although likely the covers will come off and go into the washer, lol…

the chairs were covered again and moved away from the snow and ice…

it was warm enough Tuesday, that I could have sat outside for awhile…

once the cushions dried out, I removed the covers, washed and dried them, and then struggled to put them back together…

and now they are waiting to get back outside…

after the snow😔… maybe tomorrow🤞…

we finally got the deck shovelled… there is still a bit of snow and ice, but now it should melt more quickly…

we also got the last of the snow off the two chairs on the deck, but I am anticipating that the cushions underneath the covers will be wet…

unfortunately, the cover is still frozen to the deck… but the wind was sure blowing the covers around now that the snow is gone…

I’ve been watching this item in the Gift Shop at The Leaf for well over a week now…

on one of my spots, I would stare at it, through the exit doors, but when my shift ended, the shop would be closed…

I kept planning to stop in before starting my volunteer time, but kept forgetting…

until today…

lucky for me the shop stayed open past the end of my shift for an event that was happening at the event centre;-)…

and I came home with this lovely blanket… it is a monarch butterfly (which I love) and is soft and cozy…

I think it will be perfect when I start to sit on the deck as the weather gets warmer;-)…
