Sunshine!

We had sunshine both yesterday and today and it looks like we might have some tomorrow. I have to say that will be the most sunshine days in a row we've had since I can remember. Quite sad actually. The sun always makes me feel a little brighter. It seems funny that we're warming up and Mum is supposed to be really cold and maybe snowy this week! I'm pretty sure she'll stay inside if the weather is too bad. I hope so. She said she fell the other week - slipping on the mud - said she didn't do any damage and was okay but I still worry!

We went out yesterday to look at the last of the ice on the lake. It's that time of year when it starts to melt. With all the rain and warm temperatures last week there wasn't a lot left. It was really windy yesterday so it felt quite cold but the lake despite the sunshine. It was still nice to get out and about.




I hope that things start growing soon. This is one of my least favourite times of year - when the snow is leaving and there is nothing growing and everything is dull and brown. We'll be heading into March soon and then April and I know it's then I will start seeing things get greener. 

Father-in-law has his consult with the doctor on Wednesday and it's then we find out what happens next. Both MIL and FIL are really worried so I hope it will bring some peace to know. I think the waiting is worse than anything. MIL has a tendency to look to the worst situation in things and I think that's making her worry even more. 

While there is sunshine I'm going to get out walking. I walked for quite a while today, ran an errand, did some cleaning and then spent the rest of the afternoon in my chair stitching with a heating pad on my back as too much bending made it play up a bit. Sigh. Still, I did get to watch the live broadcast of Toad Hollow on YouTube. I love those ladies! They make me laugh. 

Hope everyone had a good start to the week!

    1. I LOVE lighthouses! We're hoping to visit some more this year that we haven't seen. There are so many in Michigan. Take care!

  2. Fabulous....you have some sunshine.
    We have some too but we also have snow....absolute blizzards of it for about fifteen minutes and then the sun melts it all.

    1. Hope it's not too snowy. As I said to Mum it's lovely to look at but horrible to have to go out in!

  3. Glad to read that you've had a couple of days of sunshine! Hope today is sunny, too. I'm glad you Mum didn't hurt herself when she fell! And I hope your FIL is well. Hope you have a good day, today.

  4. The view of the lighthouse is stunning. Glad to hear its starting to warm up a little. The Beast from the East has been hitting England with really low temperatures and snow. Thankfully we are on an Island in the West.
