Friday Potpourri

A weekend with no plans is a blank canvas

you can do as much or as little as you like

and this time of year ~ because we tend to go into hibernation mode

they are my favourite kind of weekend

via

don't get me wrong ~ I love having something to look forward to

and getting together with my peeps

but having the time to lounge over coffee

planning meals that are slow cooked

trying new recipes ~ it's just so much easier to do

during the winter months

via

we got more snow this week ~ I am over it

busy at work ~ more overtime

via

I pinned this one awhile ago ~ drawn to the stack

I love all kinds of bowls

some like mugs, some people plates

I am a bowl girl

I did get to spend some time in my craft room last weekend

it was nice to get creative again

via

this weekend will be baking some cookies

catching up with some recorded tv

trying a new recipe or two

and getting some rest.

Walls of White

So if I say that winter is not my favourite season

I don't think anyone that has been here for any amount of time

would be surprised

I also know that I choose to live here

it can be cold and snowy

and downright miserable ~ but it is home

it is where my family is

my roots are here ~ and roots are important

but if you hear sobbing coming from somewhere

in the northeast ~ it is just me

and it more than likely means that we got more snow

I took this one January 29th and captioned it on IG ~ so much snow

little did I know.... silly girl

because a short 2 days later we got dumped on again

as this one was taken February 1st

same viewpoint ~ can you see it sticking out there on the left

yeah ~ that's a whole lotta snow

the following week we got blasted again bringing our grand total

of snow in those 3 storms to 145 cm which is about 57 inches to my

friends to the south of me ~ approximately 5 ft of snow

add wind and drifting and bam ~ closed down the area

so when we got hit again on Sunday

we waved the white flag ~ we surrender ~ we give up

we really do not need nor want any more because guess what

we are running out of places to put it!

We got 54 cm more ~ a mere 21 inches

notice the plant sticking out of the picture ~ in the bottom right corner

then bring your eye up to the height of the bank

it can be pretty I know ~ I love the way it glistens ~ like crystals

and I captured this one last week with my phone

love ~ love ~ love

when the sun comes out

and the frost is heavy ~ you can capture beauty

the beauty of nature is hard to beat

Thanks God!

Friday Potpourri

It's all about the love this weekend

and although there will be no presents or flowers

or candy ~ Lord knows we still have chocolate left over from Christmas

it will be about love

via

we are actually headed out for supper tonight

beat the rush ~ is that bad

does that mean we are getting old?

truth be told I need a weekend at home

as last week was a hectic one

the kind that when Sunday night arrives you proclaim

that you need a day off

yeah ~ it was like that

via

via

via

so dinner out tonight 

means I get to cook a special meal tomorrow 

I am thinking scallops and pasta

tossed with a light sauce ~ I will come up with something

we will exchange cards then curl up on the couch

watch a movie and just be

I love my boy

via

something sweet will be in the works

may be an old standby or something new

time will tell

Valentines is not huge for us

as we show the love all 365 days of the year

I do love hearts

and candy and flowers though

show the love this today and tomorrow and the next

and have a wonderful weekend
