My Valentine's Day... and Other Stuff

My sweet husband really made my Valentine's Day lovely.  I woke up to find a beautiful card and a gorgeous pink azalea plant waiting for me!  He had already given me Lindt Chocolates, and had baked me my favorite Gooseberry Pie!

 This pie was delicious! 

When he got home from work, he surprised me with three wonderful soaps I had on my wish list; Lavender and Ocean Rain made with Shea butter, and Cloister Garden, a floral fruity fragrance, made with goat's milk... they smell heavenly!  Plus, a beautiful Celtic Trinity Bracelet!  He is quite a guy, and I'm so glad he still puts up with me!  

Other stuff...

Tuesday we had the most beautiful spring weather!  It got up to 64 degrees, a record for February!  Then yesterday came...  Big hail, winds, lightening, then snow...  Needless to say, it was black ice this morning.  I drove Lucky 13 to school... as always, the High School parking lot is one of the most dangerous places to drive, and the only place I slid!  I was glad to get back to my nice, warm home!  Here is a look at what was coming down...

This is supposed to last for the next couple of days... Oh, how I'm looking forward to spring!

Reminder:  The due date for the Brenda Photo Challenge is coming up!  It's February 26th!  The category is "Red" and should be lots of fun.  It's not too late to sign up.  Just go Here!  My photos will be posted over at Nita Jo's Photos, my photo blog.

Wishing you a beautiful day... and stay hopeful, Spring is just around the corner!

Yikes! Playlist Warning...

I love Carol King's music, so I had a couple of her songs on my Playlist.  This morning when it got to one of her songs there was the most awful, off-key rendition in place of Carol!  When I went to Playlist, I discovered that the songs of Carol's on my Playlist were all being sung by this person. I had selected the songs from  blogfiles-wfmu-org (I purposely typed this so it would not link to the site).  Maybe it was a joke, but I take a lot of time selecting recordings with the best sound before adding them.  You may want to check your Playlist to see if your favorites have changed.

Other than that, it's been an amazing day.  I'm feeling better, so I spent the morning sorting through more boxes of stuff.  ARC came yesterday for a big box.  Salvation Army is coming tomorrow for our old washer and dryer, plus however many boxes I can fill for them.

My friend, Judy, dropped by to visit.  She brought me Chantilly perfume!  It was her moms, who was a very special person in my life.  Each time I wear it, I will think of her.

We've had weather!  All kinds!  It went from being around 60 to cold and rainy today.  We even got snow!  My poor tulips were tightly shut and all hunched over.  It's no surprise to me though.  It's just another traditional Idaho spring!  Lol!
