there was a lot of snow on the ground Sunday morning, so I went out to shovel before it got colder…
as I was shovelling the sidewalk, my neighbour from a few doors up the street, came by with his snowblower and blew the driveway clear…
I gave him the two chocolate bars I’d purchased after the last time he did this, which I hadn’t gotten around to getting to him;-)…
while he finished the driveway, I went out back and got it cleared…
looks good everywhere…

I don’t think I’ve driven at all this winter…
since the snow started, I have been relying on my housemate and Uber to get me where I need to go… and my adventure buddy who always does the driving (yay to her!)…
my newest process is to volunteer at The Leaf from three until six… that way I can Uber there and my housemate can pick me up… seems to be working quite well…
recently I had a ride in a Tesla, which had the entire roof made of glass… I knew how to get in, from a previous encounter, although the driver automatically opened the door, but it took a while to figure out how to open the door from the inside to exit at my destination, lol……
I was thinking how cool it would be to drive out of the city and watch the stars or the aurora in comfort from the back seat without having to leave the vehicle, lol…

moved a couple of the bigger plants this morning…
swapped the hibiscus and the mandevilla… the mandevilla has been looking very sad, possibly because of the cold air coming in when the front door opens…
took a few moments to shake off the dead leaves, and then sweep them all up…
the hibiscus didn’t really want to move, even though it is on a rolling platform…
the mandevilla rolled across the floor without any problems…
fingers crossed that both of them will be happy in their new locations…

the weather has been crazy cold and I’ve been hibernating in the house… so I finally finished the first dishcloth…
it ended up being a bit on the large size, lol…
so now I’ve started on the next one, which I am making smaller…
my fingers get a bit uncomfortable if I work on it too long, so I am having to pace myself…
feeling very crafty 😊…

had a wonderful time today with friends at The Leaf…
we travelled together and had a lot of laughs in the process, then checked out all of the displays, and had one of the volunteers take our photo…
ended the day with a lovely lunch and visit at Gather;-)…
dropped off one of us and had a short visit…
what a fun time we had;-)…

one of my Advent calendar items was a phases of the moon one page calendar…
it is very cool and it has taken a while to decide where to put it…
it finally went on the bathroom door…
it is the one place that I pass all the time…

went for a walk the other morning and admired the gorgeous trees…
I’m not sure if it was hoarfrost, or rime, or something else, but it was beautiful…
the ones on my street were lovely;-)…
this one was clearly snow but beautiful nonetheless;-)…
and this morning there was more beauty…

got a ride to Ultracuts for a haircut… apparently the last time I was there was early October which explains why my hair seemed to have grown like crazy…
had to have the top trimmed a second time as it was still a bit long;-)…
what a difference a trim makes…
I feel much more tidy;-)…
