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 .

Oh I am so sorry that it is so cold for you...but you have those adorable valentines to warm you up. I love these pictures; so pretty.(-:
ReplyDeleteYall are getting a lot of bad weather in Texas.
ReplyDeleteGuess 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.
This cold spell has been and still is brutal!! I just comforting myself with the knowledge that it will pass and we will have warmth again. I like your idea of focusing on the fun in the middle of the month!
ReplyDeleteI hope you're staying warm and snug this weekend! I know it's freezing in so much of the country! Hugs....warm hugs coming your way! ♥
ReplyDeleteIt has been freezing cold here too. But you little valentines certainly warmed my heart!!

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.
ReplyDeleteHi 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.
ReplyDeleteYes February is sweet and here in Canada there is a holiday called "Family Day"in February.
ReplyDeleteI hope I dont have to work it..
Spring is on its way...and we're all waiting for it, aren't we?!
Sending warm hugs and smiles to you Dottie...
Deborah xoxo
Good Morning Dottie....my time flies. I've been too busy to sit long enough to catch up with everyone. The snow is just starting "again", maybe I can sit still today/ha
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Dottie...I've been missing you!!!!!
ReplyDelete"A warm, red day in the middle of February" - I love this!
ReplyDeleteAnd spring is just around the corner, too!
ReplyDeleteIt is also a very cold night here in Mass and I'm dreaming of days of spring.
ReplyDeleteLove your Valentine's..
Yours sincerely,
~Shirley
Hi Dottie, Sorry to hear it's so cold where you are. Hope you have a lovely Valentine's Day.

Your garden might be frozen but your heart is warm, Dottie!
ReplyDeleteGod bless you..Trish
We to have cold, cold and snow ...it was like 16 here this morning !!we can hope for spring soon
ReplyDeleteI am counting on those groundhogs being right...early spring....love that last pic.
ReplyDeleteYou 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.
ReplyDeleteI loved the looks on the faces of the vintage card couple. That LAST photo, though, is my favorite.
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.

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.
ReplyDeleteBest Valentine's wishes,
Natasha.
So true, Dottie. There's always a silver lining out there, no matter the weather. Great post.
ReplyDeleteChocolate, 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!
