I headed out early to see my husband in the hospital, and did the feeding of critters before I left.
When I opened the doors into the sun room, this is what I found, staring at me!

We have a pond – and hospital update
With all the driving around we’ve been doing lately, one of the things I’ve noticed is how much standing water there is this spring, compared to our first spring here, last year.
In fact, we even have a pond in the old hay yard again.

Bonus critter pictures, and hospital updates
My daughter had her first Sunday shift today; at only 4 hours long, we left later and I simply stayed in town until she was done.
As we were getting ready to head out, I popped out to see if there were any cats to say hello to.
I saw none, but heard a noise above my head. It took a bit, but I found her – Rolando Moon had been on the roof, and was making her way down the tree towards me.
She paused at their favourite sitting spot, where I could reach to pet her – and get a few pictures that I just love and have to share! These are in chronological order. :-D
That’s just how she rolls! :-D
It was quite a lovely day today, and the cats were enjoying it as much as they could! By the time I got those pictures, I had three other cats come out to see what was going on!
After I dropped my daughter off at work, I went to the hospital to see my husband. He was just finishing up lunch, and told me they were soon going to move him to a private room!
Clearly, he’s going to be there for a while.

It’s official… sort of
As of today, it is now official.
We are a two vehicle household.
Sort of.
I was able to register my mother’s car in my name, but it’s still her car. This means that, if she needs help to get to an appointment or go grocery shopping, I can use her car, instead of her struggling to climb up into our van. I will make sure to use it once in a while, just because it’s not good for vehicles to sit around. Today, I plan to take it in for a car wash! :-D
But I am getting ahead of myself.

Spring is fickle!
This morning, we were greeted with falling snow and just enough of a wind to be annoying. :-D
The outside cats were not impressed.

Bee-utiful!
Today was our Costco shopping day. This was my splurge for the month. :-)

The Daily Grind
Aside from critter pictures, I haven’t been posting much about how things are going. Mostly because, it’s all pretty mundane right now. It’s been so awesome to have the warmer temperatures, and I’m so looking forward to being able to continue working on the yard!
The outside cats are appreciating the warmer temperatures, too.
Bob was just rolling all over the step, after greeting me as I finished up my rounds. :-D

Well, that almost worked
Today, I went out to use The Beast. We haven’t had more snow, but I wanted to clear some paths that were blown over, widen a parking area, and make the path to the fire pit wide enough for my husband’s walker. We’re planning to have a cookout on the weekend. All this, I could do with the little electric snow blower, but is just much easier with the big beast.
Plus, I just wanted to use it, now that it’s running again.
Just look at that beautiful, shiny new carburetor! :-D
Of course, things just had to go wrong, right? LOL

Grateful
The family had quite the day, yesterday. One in which my husband and I both found ourselves feeling incredibly grateful for so many things.
Long story short; my husband ended up in the hospital, for about 24 hours, in the emergency ward. He is now home with appropriate medication and happily sleeping in his own bed again.

Paths
Today, I finally was able to get outside and use the new electric snow blower around the house. I really wanted to get it done while the weather was still good; we’re supposed to start getting cold again in a couple of days. Nothing like the bitter cold we had before, but enough that I don’t want to be outside for 2 hours, or be trying to use the snow blower in high winds.
What a fantastic little thing Spewie is!
Also, we can now use the fire pit, if we want to. :-D
Photo heavy post ahead! :-D
