My Favorite Flowers

I came home from work Thursday to a vase of my very favorite flowers- peppermint carnations! Tim surprised me with them early since we were celebrating Valentine's Day Friday! I love them!

Valentine's at Schimpff's

Stopped by Schimpff's Friday and just had to snap some pictures of their beautiful Valentine's candies, boxes and vintage advertising pieces! Boy were they busy!

Junior's on TV

Junior absolutely loves to look at the birds out the windows in our bedroom. He spends many an hour gazing longingly out the window by the tv. He chitters and chatters and sometimes just dozes off. The other morning he finally made it to the top of the tv to get an even closer view of a rather noisy bird on our roof!

Fortunately, I had my camera upstairs so I was able to take his picture before telling him he was really not allowed up there and needed to get down and back on the entertainment center!

Yet Another Winter Wonderland

Yippee.

It started about 10 pm last night and snowed and snowed and snowed through the night! My poor husband had to go in even earlier to work this morning at the tv station. I awoke at 6 am instead of 6:30 am so I went ahead and got up somewhere in between! I figured I'd need the extra time to clean my car off. And that did take about 20 minutes. It snowed hard the entire time I was out there, my jeans and gloves were soaked. I pulled carefully out on Main St. and ventured down the street to work. The side streets were especially yucky! I was never so glad to get inside and dry out. It finally stopped snowing after lunch sometime, dropping about 6 inches.

A little more is expected overnight along with subzero wind chills and temps in the teens. Brrr! So, tomorrow will bring icy roads and I don't foresee any of this going anywhere anytime soon as the temps won't even reach the freezing mark until Sunday. Oh and did I mention 2-4 more inches expected Sunday? Maybe a little Fri night and Sat?

It's days like this I have no idea why we live here and not Arizona or Las Vegas! Summer just can't come soon enough!

Party Girl

Who knew Garden Kitty was such a party girl? She donned her New Year's top hat, grabbed a bottle of brandy and looks ready to curl up and sleep it off on her favorite pair of jeans!
