Winter Respite



 It's hard to believe it is February.


 It was 70 degrees today.



 That's a little warm for my liking but the plants seem to approve.  My Black-Eyed Susans never did die back all the way this year.


 The crocuses are pushing up already.



 One brave little bloom was holding its head up high in the sunshine.



 The hydrangea is sending out shoots.



 That lone bloom on the camellia that braved the last snow will soon be history.




 There are many more to follow. All the bushes are covered in buds.



 Don't let all this fool you. It's still winter. Tomorrow they are calling for snow. You can get whiplash around here trying to keep up with the weather.



 The Mister covered up the woodpile in anticipation of some wet stuff. We haven't had a fire all year.



 Hoover's not complaining. He likes to spend warm nights prowling.



 Pup also enjoyed her day in the sun. She got quite tuckered out from being outside most of the day.



Old Doggie wore me out. I carried her around all day in the pooch pouch and she seems to get heavier all the time.


I am not complaining. It's not often in February that you can spend the afternoon stretched out on the grass.

  4. It's crazy! On this side of the country it's non-stop winter. Hubby drove to work this morning in an ice-storm...on top of the additional 8 inches of snow we got yesterday. We now have almost 4 1/2 feet of snow in our yard with a 1/4 inch crust of ice on top of everything. Meanwhile, Mandy tells me yesterday that they were sweating after they're walk! Craziness! She did say snow was predicted for today. I'm SO done with winter.
    I did enjoy your kitty, puppy pictures today. They are all darling. (I want another cat but have been voted down.). Have a lovely day!
    Blessings.

  8. The snow will be beautiful and you can stay in all nice and cozy and enjoy it. It is in the low 70's here, I would like it to be a bit cooler as hot and humid weather will soon be here.
