well, it took most of the day, but I got the obelisk put together;-)…

started first thing in the morning… put a couple of layers together and then made a mistake and couldn’t remove a pipe that was stuck… left it and kept thinking about it… was really missing my beloved… he had the strongest hands and that was what I needed…

eventually I remembered the clamp that is attached to the workbench in the garage…

after using cloth, the clamp and pliers, I was able to separate two of the pieces… finally was able to add a piece upside down and connect the remaining pieces together…

looks great;-)… hoping for a few warmer days so I can set it into the pot on the deck… the morning glories are going to look great on it…

way to go me…

on Saturday, I spent the majority of the day outside…

did a bit of garden planning… had to bring out one of my beloved’s measuring tapes to do some checking of sizes of planters…

he had many, many measuring tapes… I have given a number of them away, but there are still a few around the house and in the garage…

put out a lounger, swept part of the back deck, topped up the hot tub and sat in the sun and read…

lovely way to spend time…

had a lovely afternoon on the deck yesterday…

removed one of the feeding saucers and cleaned the table… that took a long time but it looked shiny when I was done… looks ready for a meal with the boys;-)…

then I sat in the sunshine and read… so lovely…

at the end of the afternoon I brought in the planters which I am going to use to start some seedlings…

looking forward to getting the planting started…

over the last week I’ve been enjoying the sunlight…

in the morning it is shining into the den, which it hasn’t done for months…

and in the afternoon it now shines on the spot where I usually sit…

yesterday, I sat on the deck in the sunshine for an hour… and the sun was warm on my body…

spring is coming;-)…

I’ve spent time yesterday and today shovelling ice that was right by the garage door… and I’ve got rid of it all;-)…

I’m very disappointed because water is dripping under the eavestrough all along the side of the garage… this hasn’t happened before, so I am wondering if it has to do with the roof being shingled last summer…

there is water inside which I will try to shovel/push out next time I go out… my beloved would not be happy with this… I did lean some boards against the outside wall which should help move the water away from the garage…

I will be interested to see how my arms feel tomorrow, lol… you really have to ram the shovel under the ice…

I’ve been spending a lot of time watching all the critters in the front yard and garden…

it is amazing to watch them fly through, under, and around… they sometimes hover near the feeders if there is a lineup…

other times they swoop between the bench and deck on their way to the saucer under the table…

today I tried to catch a photo of them flying, but that didn’t work, lol…

still, it is a treat to be able to watch and enjoy their antics…

tonight I popped outside to fill the feeders on the deck… I didn’t think I needed my gloves, but didn’t take into account the outside door handle…

I did have on my toasty warm boots which I have now put under the fish tank to keep warm…

so much better than in the front landing…

a few days ago I put lotion on my hands because they were dry…

anyone who knows me realizes that this is very odd…

my hands don’t absorb things like lotion, so I never use it… even after putting sunscreen or other cream on my body I have to wash it off my hands…

this time it soaked in…

clearly, the humidity is poor around here…

spent a lovely time today going through books searching for the best perennials to add to one section of the garden…

I’ve been thinking that a spot where I’ve been putting annuals yearly would be a good place for some perennials, but now I need to figure out which one, lol…

they need to be short and fill in the space around the hostas and ferns that are already there… and, I would like them to flower as long as possible… that is going to be the trick…

quite a few options to contemplate;-)…
