Day 49 - 18th February 2018 - Ducks, Ice Baubles and a Downy Woodpecker.

A little dusting of snow over night, but the fine stuff is coming down again this morning. Anyone's guess how much we will get - somewhere between 5 and 15 cms or so they say. It will be a good day to do lunch box prep, catch up on the laundry etc. Larry is off tomorrow so it might be a birding day.
Saturday turned out to be a fine day and once the wind died out in the afternoon the sun warmed you up nicely. It was a busy day too.  Did the grocery shopping with a brief stop to check out Diane's ducks in town, then a long the waterfront and down to the Industrial Park. Home, lunch and then made some snacks for Larry's outing, while he put wood in the basement. I got some marvelous spring purging done when Jake and Adam stopped in. They left with a number of kitchen chairs, end table, lamp and promises to return for a table. Larry went off to the smoker and I headed down to Margie's to help her recover a computer chair before the girls arrived for Chase the Ace. I even managed to get out for a quick walk.

 Most of the ducks were napping in the morning sun.

 The ice along the lake looked like crystal baubles on a chandelier.

Enjoy your day!
