Happy Valentine’s Day

February14

I woke up yesterday to snow.  Steve thought this was great – he misses the snow from up North.  Me?  Not so much.  We’ve had a few flurries in the past but yesterday it snowed hard and it stuck to the ground.  I know many of you are dealing with real snow not my wimpy Southern snow.  My nephew was off school Mon, Tues and Weds this week due to snow.  I complain simply because I thought moved to get away from it.  And because Southerners freak out before the first flake hits the ground.  Despite the lack of any white stuff on the road, traffic crawls along at 5 mph.  And because I couldn’t find my ice scrapper in my car because I didn’t think I would need it in Nashville.  It is still quite cold this morning but supposed to get up to 50-something so I’ll quit my whining and let you all get back to shoveling your driveways.

Evidence of the cold – Ice in my gutters this morning

and snow still left on some decorative grass

Those of you experiencing real winter can tell me to shut up now (don’t smack the pregnant lady).

*********************

Happy Valentine’s Day to all of you.  Steve and I don’t celebrate it.  I’ve always said I would rather get flowers on a random Tuesday than the day Hallmark deems it necessary.  And I do so it all works out.  Steve is much better at being romantic when the mood strikes than when the calendar dictates so I’m a happy wife.  But I hope those of you who save up all of your romantic urges for today have a fabulous celebration with your honeybuns.

    I agree with you 100%! I got chocolate yesterday, which was pretty amazing. I’d rather get a nice gift on any random day than just one day a year.

    Have a great day, either way!

    Man, that grass is pretty green. I think we have some grass under the 8 inches of snow and ice. Happy V-Day to you!

    Happy Valentine’s Day. We don’t really celebrate either…….the restaurant thing is just too busy for me. Got out the BBQ and had a good steak. I live in Quebec City in Canada and we have had over 300cm of snow this year. I can’t even see out of my front window.

    Sabrina is just too cute. She is one cutie pie and has such a beautiful smile.

    I thought that picture you posted with her reading her book was so funny.

    I’m with you on the winter thing – I could never live where there is “real” snow. I agree on the V day thing too – but I’m all for a holiday that requires your mate to give you chocolate.
