a few nights ago I got some lovely pictures of the sky thanks to my grandson…
he pointed the clouds out as he was mowing the front yard…
he had to do it twice to get it cut because it had grown so long, so fast…
quite a difference from the many weeks this summer when it didn’t grow at all and was rather brown due to the high heat and lack of water…

had a lovely front yard visit with a friend who dropped off some items from an online fundraiser…
before she arrived I put one of the deck chairs out by the bird feeders… she sat there and I sat on the steps… luckily, we each had our own tea, so that kept us warm…
got two poinsettias and a swag for the front door…
after she left, I spent quite some time hanging the swag on the door… there is quite a bit of fishing line holding it up, lol…
it was nice to have a face-to-face with another person…

tonight, as I walked up the street, I took a photo of the road and creek…
there is lots of water out there, which is exciting because that means it is Spring…
yay, yay, yay…
been wearing sandals since last Wednesday (start of Spring and all), so have had to do a bit less walking on the sidewalks because they are still slushy, or icy, or filled with puddles…
there is still a great deal of snow out there, particularly on the lawns and in yards, but it is certainly melting more every day…

woke up to a cool looking sky out the window … the clouds made an interesting design…
had a good time with my grandson… he came over around lunchtime to help me in the garden…
made his favourite red curry lentils for lunch and then we got to work…
raked up all the leaves and pulled up lots of dead grass… filled three yard waste bags…
while he finished up, I put the furniture into its usual arrangement and cleaned the tables…
then we moved the rocks that came out of the pond in the Fall… we are going to reset them to have a better look… will probably be getting rounded rocks because the flat ones just don’t look right around the edge of the pond…
looks good back there now… hopefully the temperature will perk up and I’ll be able to sit out in the next few days…
he got the front yard cleaned up as well… next time we are going to tackle the front flower beds…
enjoy getting to spend time with him…
working outside reminded me of my walk through the woods yesterday…
similar type weather… made me think of one of the lovely cards I received for my birthday… it is a copy of a friend’s painting…
bit more sunshine in that picture, lol…
