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!

  1. A day or two inside is delightful! But when it goes on and on . . . like it has in your neck of the woods . . . I can imagine that it grows wearisome! But the sun does cheer, as does the promise of spring! "“While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, winter and summer, and day and night shall not cease.”

    Glad you"re able to make sweet memories with your grands, and I hope your cold and cough are waning!

  2. Sorry you were laid up for a while on the couch. Looks like you made up for it since with playdates and walks. Those snow levels are impressive! Yikes! What fun projects you are working on. Your bread is such a work of art! Love seeing those loaves. Ahh, yes, I wonder sometimes what our Grands will remember fondly after we are gone. Addy was born on the first day of Spring so that is something that makes Spring even better! Enjoy your Sunday and the last week of February!

    1. Thanks Ellen! So fun that you have a first day of Spring birthday to celebrate! Our grandchildren just keep growing and I love that we share almost the same ages and experiences. They are our "icing on the cake" and remind us of how blessed we really are!
