Snow Daze Mood

It's been snowing for weeks!!
Storm after storm has hit.
So many missed events, bus cancellations, road closures,
and challenging days ...
need I say more?

Sure, it's pretty, but ... Spring will come - right?


The snow cake just kept growing and growing! 17" at latest measure.







 One would consider that maybe being "stuck" staying home
would be opportunity for finishing some projects, cleaning the house, etc.
A bad cold and cough kept me on the couch for days and my ambition
went out with the cold wind and storms - eek!
Somehow this is all too reminiscent of those Covid days of 5 years ago.

Thankfully, there were some silver linings and occasionally the sun did peek through
the dense grey clouds making me feel much better and giving me the mojo I needed.



Stormy Day Valentine's bake.
Missing my sisters!





A baby rag quilt for a special little February baby.






School cancelled day gave us a chance to get his hot wheels
quilt knotted. He is a good "knotter"!


She practiced her selfie skills ...
We had a fun "play date"!





The orchid bloomed! So beautiful.






Today's walk ... I have to admit that it actually does look very pretty indeed!
Perhaps the sun's shining helps with the mood.


Spring is officially 4 Mondays plus 4 days away - yippee!
Will March come in like a Lion or a Lamb?


These will be "remember when" stories we tell our grandchildren?



Till next time ... stay cozy!

A Fresh New Year

 2025 has begun ...

A picture story for this very cold and dreary month.
A few wonderful bright spots were found along the way.



Another trip around the sun for me and beautiful flowers
from a dear sister-in-law!



It snowed and snowed with still no end in sight!



What is a girl to do
but some yeast baking!
The delicious Fruit and Nut Wreath
by Anneliese,
Mennonite Girls Can Cook
Celebrations - Page 258
**a favourite**








Or a new cinnamon bun recipe
baked with an appreciative
granddaughter!

















Snow men and women were built!



A quick cold and rainy get-away to Florida with dear friends
was a welcomed break from the snow!
Disney dinner reservations and lots and lots of shopping were the order of the days!

February has arrived and wondering what it will hold ...
wishing lots of love and happiness to all my dear readers.


Almost getting it!



Till next time ... stay well and cozy! Spring will come!
