Only 37 More Days Till Spring!

February 13, 2012

It's a rather chilly morning here in New England, with specks of tiny snow flakes wandering around now and then.  The sun has been trying to poke it's head out, but so far the clouds are keeping it covered.   The heat wave starts tomorrow with five days of temps in the upper 40's. 

Tootsie and I are counting down the days.  Just 14 more days and we'll be on a plane to warm and sunny Florida.  Better yet, just 37 more days till Spring!  I absolutely love, love, love Spring!  I love watching things come alive, tiny leaves form on tree branches and green sprouts poking up through the ground.  My energy level usually picks up quite a bit in the Spring, and I'm hoping to spend more time outside with Tootsie. 

I think I might invest in a treadmill too.  I would really love to be able to walk more, but I can't go too far from my chair.  I get so far down the road and my body says "that's enough, already!"  At this point, I don't have it in me to walk back home.  Having a treadmill might just work well for me.  Who knows, maybe even Tootsie can try it out too.  She can't walk very far either. 

Remember the Paperwhites that I planted in a pot a couple of weeks ago?  Well, they are simply gorgeous.  It's so nice to see plants blooming.  It really makes the kitchen cheerful.  Here's a shot of one of the blooms.


Today, Su and I are posting Parts 3 & 4 of our newest kit, "I Love...".   It's such a fun kit, and can actually be used all year round.   Here's my preview and download links.


EXPIRED

When you have finished downloading, do stop by Su's blog to pick up her parts.  I've already seen them, and you're going to love them.  Don't forget to take a moment to stop and say hello and thank you.   Here's Su's preview.



Now it's time to see what's for breakfast.  Tootsie has been sitting here patiently waiting for me to finish this post.  I count my lucky stars for every day that I have had her in my life.  I am so blessed.  On that thought, I will stop here.  Till tomorrow, Y'all stay warm and have a fabulous day.

Hugs, Edna B.

I appreciate the optimism of only 37 days until spring. It helps to remember that.

I love spring too! baseball season opens! I'm also loving my flowers after last year, I can't wait to watch them grow again this year! They're already starting to poke up. They're covered with a already shrinking blanket of snow. I love flowers who give it to the snow and grow anyway.

Thank you and Su for the lovely kit! I'll come back to download in the morning. David and I were out all day and I'm just trying to catch up on my reading.

Hugs, Nani
