Devils & Angels

Family Feud has offered some funny moments, and this is one of many on You Tube.

Valentine for Exchange

The Valentine Exchange is over, and I'm so pleased with the number of ladies that participated. I've seen a couple of their creations, and would love to see more, if you did join in could you put pictures on your blog? I'd love to see what you made, and what your received!
This is the Valentine I created, it's on its way to it's recipient. Thanks to all who joined in, I'll be doing this again at Christmas. What fun!

He May Be A Squirrel...

But he's my squirrel! I say this because where we live, we don't have squirrels. Not within a half mile radius. I don't know why they choose not to nest on our property, but occasionally, one will grace us with its presence! Today was one of those days. I was so excited to look out at the feeders and see this plump red squirrel emptying out the feeder. I know they're pesky little creatures, but when you never see them, you miss them! Sort of like seeing a rare bird, this little guy is rare to me, and I welcome him (or her) for as long as he (or him) would like to stay!

Digging Out

The snow came down heavy and hard all night, and with the wind, everything was a big drift this morning.

Ken is outside with the plow he made for the lawn tractor, uncovering the path to Robyn's so I can go over for a nice hot cup of coffee, and girl talk with her and my sister who is snowed in. OK, this is enough now, I'm ready and waiting for spring. I don't know what the verdict was as far as our ground hog friend Phil is concerned, but I'll go on with my wishful thinking and dreaming!

And It Isn't Over By A Long Shot!

It's been cold and snowy here, and it isn't expected to get any better soon!

We are under a winter storm advisory, with 6-12" possible between Monday and Wednesday.

I'll be so happy for spring to arrive, my bones need a chance to warm up. Right now they feel like these icicles hanging from the gutters. Brrrrr!

A Special Gift from a Special Friend

I have been so blessed with the most awesome blog friends since starting mine two years ago. I've developed friendships that can't be replaced, and have traveled the world vicariously through so many!

Today, I received a special gift from Jayne, of Journey Through Grace. I've been in love with the beauty Jayne brings every day, through the awesome pictures she takes of birds and butterflies that visit her yard. I've told her many times I'd love to see a coffee table book, or a calendar. So when I opened my mail today, I was so excited, and blessed, to see this special gift. Jayne had a calendar made for me, with every month being another beautiful photo from her collection. These are just three, and I hope you can see why Jayne's talent has me in awe.

Thank-you so much Jayne, I'll treasure this always! And if you haven't visited Jayne's blog, pop over! I'm sure it will become a favorite!

Hope to see your name there, I'm doing this in honor of a dear blog friend who has been through a rough time with cancer. Join us, in support of all who have suffered this terrible disease.
