Lots of ice and bling to see from all those lovely ladies on the red carpet...

We may just have to pull out our sunnies...

Even more exciting..

It may be a bit too early in the season to think about fish...

However..

 Last week started the countdown for my Pisces lovelies..

Luckily, there are way too many fish in my life to count...

Yet, I am a bit bias as they surely are the most sparkliest of the bunch..

Happy Weekend Everyone!!!

It's official..
I now live in an igloo...
Even though the first day of Spring is only one month away...
it seems like light years..
Cold, ice, wind, rain and snow has taken its toll on us
New Englanders..
Much like an indoor plant...
I find myself moving and stretching to find the light and possibly a bit of sun to my raise my spirit..
Luckily..
Mr. G does just that for me..
He has become a snow dog..
I think perhaps he believes he could mush with the best of them..
Romping, jumping and even smiling through at least a foot of snow and never giving up even though it hinders his daily duties..
His persistence, joy and courage warms my heart and seems to melt all that wicked ice away..
I find my self daydreaming of his first Spring..
The feeling of new grass, emerging crocuses through the soft earth, strange new little creatures awakening in the garden, the songs of birds in the trees and the sweet sweet air perfumed with flowering trees..
Sounds heavenly right?!
But he is teaching me to be in the now...
to find light when it seems only to be dark..
to find warmth when it seems only to be cold..
to find joy when it seems only to be melancholy..

Be Safe, Make a Snow Angel and Have a Great Weekend!!

HAPPY WEEKEND 

&

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

EVERYONE!!

It has been one heck of a crazy week..

Mother Nature has been pulling some serious punches..

Luckily us New Englanders came through yesterday's storm unscathed..

and today...

Today, I hear the glorious sound of snow melting under a gorgeous bright blue sky..

I woke up this morning to some extra Valentine's Day kisses from my boys..

perfect way to start the day..

I think the chocolate covered strawberries from his secret admirer (not me!) that arrived yesterday in the snowstorm (hooray UPS)

got the Monster into the holiday spirit.. 

Speaking of the holiday spirit..

I was told by my too cool for school middle schooler weeks ago that 5th graders don't give Valentines..

My heart wilted a bit..

Are we really there yet? 

Aha..Not yet..

Cause lo & behold we received the class list 2 days ago..

What to create in 2 days in the middle of a snowstorm??

Hmm...

Certainly not a masterpiece..

But we Wessons don't give up..

so...

The Monster picked the candy

(of course the one with the hardest name to rhyme)

and

this old lady's brain had to start chug chug chugging..

So here we go my lovely Readers..

One just for you!!
