Jane, over at Small But Charming is having her second, Monday Flowers in the House.
This may not count as a an arrangement but it is all I have time for today.
I am busy trying to get ready for my trip to the other house, finally (fingers crossed), leaving out tomorrow.
"Good morning Miss E., it sure looks like you have been busy."
" Well. yes, I want to get this driveway cleared off so my granddaughter can get her car in tonight when she comes to visit."
"You have done quite a good job, look at that nice clear path you have done all the way from the house, she should have no problem getting in here now. That was quite a bit to do, I think you can probably call it good now and go on in."
" Remember when I got these boots on sale, you were with me (changing the subject)?"
" Yes, I think I will go in and have an nice cup of coffee."
A beautiful day today, as you can see. We have a bit of wind but nothing like what was in the forecast, though it is very cold still and will remain so for days.
Our feathered children are happy for the sunshine and haven't even quarrelled once, I even spotted them taking up friendly conversations.
Well now, at 5:00 AM there was no snow and nothing on the ground. Around 5:30 it started and this was taken at 7:00.
The chicken yard at about 7:15 and by the time I got boots, and gloves on the netting over the garden run was down.
I had to go out and tear down what was left of the netting, as it had almost collapsed to the ground with the weight of the snow. Then I tried to shovel a path to the heated water bowl and put out a new Flock Block to try and lure the gang out...no dice.
This is all just the beginning. We are now being told that blizzard conditions, with gusts to 60 mph. will be coming also, along with more snow and arctic temps. 
I am so excited...he, he !! Look what I found at The Red Door thrift shop for $8.00.
Does it work? The tag said it worked, so just now when I got home, I took a picture from the front porch and, sure enough, out came a picture. I held my breath to see if the picture came out, and.....
Sure enough, there it is. Now, the prospect of finding film...maybe?
Breakfast everyone, come and get the warm oatmeal mush.
Daisy thinks she will try the appetizer of Black oil sunflower seeds until there is room at the table.
These girls agree, have some protein before the carbs.
Snow, really? I will pretend I didn't hear that, I am not going to let this opportunity pass by. It has been far too long since I have been able to use my line and so tonight we will sleep on sheets with the sweet smell of the sun. 
Hopefully, my computer will be all well by Monday. Carbonite is doing it's thing right now to back up our files and when that is done, McAfee will take over and I won't be stuck on the phone with tech help..Ugh.
Night before last I was minding my own business, checking blog updates when up pops that pesky reminder from Microsoft that I haven't scanned lately...hmmm. So I mention it to the Mr. and he, in all of his wisdom says, "you need to do it." So, being the obedient wife that I am (sometimes, most of the time, well, I try) I started the process of scanning (above photo) which took longer than I thought and finally went to bed.
I made a few adjustments, and once I found all of you, I decided that I could live with this different look.....Until...
I am so hoping that some of you will be able to help me with this as I do love to link and need to.
Wishing you all a very Happy Valentines Day filled with all that makes your heart smile.
Slickdeals.net has announced these magazines today, but hurry because I have found that sometimes they are offered for only a day. Here is the link for Taste of Home, put in code 3906 at the end.
I am a happy girl! The sun is finally out and the clothes will soon be on the line.
My camera has forgiven me for fooling around with settings.
In the end, the clouds always part and the sun does come out.
In an effort to finally get to know my camera and never take another picture as bad as my last post, I started changing the settings, with the help of my manual... Do you think it went well? Do you think that the photo above is one I took of my living room? Only in my dreams would that be true. I am lost, lost in a place where I may never find my way out. Buttons were fooled with and now my camera is a total stranger. How could I have gone so wrong?
Every Valentines Day, I remember my daddy showering my mother with wonderful things. There were big frilly red hearts filled with the best chocolates, cards detailed with satin ribbon and lace and, of coarse, the long stemmed red roses and dinner at the Pink Feather, a favorite steak house of my parents. With these fond memories, I have never strayed far from the traditional colors that this special day brings.
A nice surprise arrived in the mail a few months ago from Kat, Princess and the Pea blog, and I immediately knew I would save it for Valentines decor. I had sent her some pieces of fabric to help add to a future project she has planned and this is what she created for me...
Is this not the cutest fabric art piece around? She is so talented!
I will treasure this always and it will have a place of honor every year...Thanks Kat, you are a doll!
MEYER LEMONS ! ! ! I almost let out a loud screech of delight right in the middle of Costco!
