Cold



Oh No!!! Oh My Goodness !

This morning it is 27 degrees outside 
and
last night we had the lowest temperature reading I can remember here .
It was 20 degrees !
The weather man reported we would have snow and ice
but
It did not happen . It is just cold, very, very cold .
 Sigh
My garden is frozen !
No more snow peas or Swiss chard .
So
today I am thinking about things that are lovely
like the month of February .
Some things just seem to belong in February
like
tiny hearts, flowers, ribbon and lace .
Things like chocolate, pink nail polish and bubble bath .


so romantic
  

I am so glad that after a long, cold, dark January
there is a warm, red day in the middle of February .

  2. Yall are getting a lot of bad weather in Texas.
    Guess you will have to pull out some dead plants from the garden?
    Spring is not so far away, but it seems like forever.
    Your valentines are precious.

  6. Hi Dottie, The picture you posted of the man and woman reminds me of a picture I have of my mother and dad that was taken during WWII. Their's was a romance story. Your picture was a gentle reminder of them.

  7. Hi Dottie, I've missed you. Just been busy with the One World One Heart event. I always love visiting your bloggy. And I am charmed by Miss Addie. Oh I would love her in my garden or maybe her cousin! I procrastinate too much. Try to get warm. It is just not like the South of our youth. We have had so many snow and ice days here in Louisiana that it just isn't funny.

  18. You just made an observation that has somehow escaped me for nearly fifty years. The warmest holiday IS the perfect interrupter for the cold month of February. I like that.

    I loved the looks on the faces of the vintage card couple. That LAST photo, though, is my favorite.

  19. So pretty Dottie. I love that picture of that couple and I love our buffet with the Blue Willow and the vintage Valentine's. Thank you so much for joining me tonight.

  20. It looks like the weather is still wreaking havoc all over the world. I wonder if things will get back to normal soon? I hope you stay warm in the meantime.

    Best Valentine's wishes,
    Natasha.

  22. Chocolate, pink nail polish, and bubble bath are all things that, I agree, are the perfect simple pleasures! Great point about Valentine's Day warming up the winter. I have never thought about that!
