Just to recap, our kittens got spade last week, which was stressful for us all. Stormy was back to her regular self after about one day of rest, while Ginny was doing far worse. She is recovering now though! Eating well and drinking lots, she seems to be right back to her usual self.
Less than one week of cone heads left! I can't wait to let them romp outside!
In the meantime we've been getting ample amounts of sunshine, which is really quite fortunate and uncommon in the valley during the winter. It has been so appreciated!
It has also been wonderful for such activities as helping Mom move!
And of course fabulous sunshiny days are fantastic for Amazing Sunsets!
This is the sunset we got to see from my mom's awesome new place on Monday. I'm so happy for her, she will finally have an art room! Which means that she will finally be able to paint and craft and sew and do whatever she pleases!
This was our sunset yesterday. Ryan and I arrived home from grocery shopping and didn't even unload the groceries into the house before rushing in to grab the camera. What an amazing evening!
I find that when Ryan and I are at home together, we do nothing but hang out together. We play video games and listen to wicked music and play with our kittens... Sometimes it feels like there is nothing more I'd rather do. It is seriously fantastic to be so in love with your best friend.
However, I do find that it is a source for lack of motivation in other areas of life. I don't visit anyone outside of home because I'm just so content and also because I don't drive I find getting out to be a chore. Winter absolutely feels like hibernation time as well and I haven't had a winter where I could do this type of thing in a rather long time... I must say I much prefer it to the prairie winters filled with construction that I've been experiencing the last 3 years. And I am looking forward to a very full and exciting spring and summer. I will be working at the farm, as well as working on my own brand new clean slate mini farm.
However, in lieu of all the spring-like sunshine we've been having lately, I was inspired today to finally spruce up that mud room of ours. This is a feature to our house that I really love, but have been feeling daunted by, decoration wise. And while it still needs some work, (I hope to paint it in the spring) I did find inspiration today to fix it up a bit.
No longer will our boots and shoes lie in a mess on the floor! I scavenged something from the basement that was left here by the previous owners... Not sure why I hadn't thought to do this before, but it has made it so much better in there!
Now, I realize this post is getting long... such is the post of an infrequent updater, but I just have a few more photos to share... I simply can't help myself, I went on a beautiful, and cold, winter walk with my mom this evening... Also I just love my new camera and can't help taking pictures of everything.
Good night all!
I noticed the intense sunset last week, too! The sun was such a deep orange colour and I noticed it while I was riding on the bus. It was the last few moments of the sun just above the horizon so all the colours were really rich. It was really cool!
