It hasn't been a bad weekend. Yesterday morning we woke to a bit more snow. It was actually quite pretty. It had settled on the trees and a little on the ground.
I got out for a little bit of a walk but not a lot and the rest of the day I really didn't do much. It really was a lazy sort of day.
Our clocks went forward this morning. Ugh. It was quite dark this morning and, of course, quite light this evening. I'm not sure I like it so much!
I went out today for a drive along the lakeshore. Not far. Husband overslept so I left him and went by myself. I wasn't about to wake him. I had planned on us going up the lakeshore a bit and working our way down stopping at some little parks and seeing the last of the ice. Temperatures are warming up and are supposed to be 73f/23C by the end of the week! What a change! Even today was vastly different from the cold of yesterday. Today we got up to 55F/13C - really a warm-up from what we've been having.
It was lovely out. There were quite a few people out and about enjoying the sunshine. I couldn't believe some of the idiots people out on the ice. I cringed as a couple took a toddler up to the top of an ice mountain. At this temperature they are melting, and bits break off. It's also quite deceiving as it may look like solid ice, but on the other side it could be hollowed out! I ended up meandering down to another park where I knew there wouldn't be too many people. There were a few people about on the beach at this other park, but they were searching for different stones along the shore. It was all quite relaxing.
There were some green bits poking through!
It was another lazy day when I got home. Mind you, it was later in the afternoon when I did get back. I did stop to pick up a few food bits on my way home. I have my menus planned for the week and picked up the first half of what I need so I won't have to go out tomorrow. I'm writing a list for tomorrow and will get back to the sorting and cleaning after my walk tomorrow. I picked up a couple of boxes while I was out today as I need more to put books in. My plan is to finish the bookcase downstairs this week and then take another look at one of the ones in the living room. It seems every time I look through them I am able to let a few more books go.
Hope everyone had a good weekend.
That first picture of the snowy scene looks so pretty! Sounds like you had a nice, relaxing weekend. Sometimes, we need that, don't we?
ReplyDeleteIt was really pretty that morning. I had a lovely relaxing weekend. Hope yours was good!
DeleteSuch a contrast; the first photograph could be a Christmas card, and the third could be summer with that blue blue sky!
ReplyDeleteI really liked the first one. It was so lovely that morning despite the snow. It had fallen on the trees and hung on them so lovely.
DeleteSnow,,, crikey. I'm grumpy because it's turned cold. Bring on the warm sunshine.
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely this week so far!
DeleteIt looks so beautiful but brrrr . . . it can't last long at this time of year, can it? xx
ReplyDeleteThis should be the BIG MELT I think lol. There will probably be a bit more snow but it won't stick around...hopefully!
DeleteThose green leaves seem so beautifully optimistic.
ReplyDeleteYou are getting things done, fragment by fragment. It's not as cinematic as a huge sweep, but things are still getting done and in a way that suits you. Hugsx
