I hope everyone had a pleasant Valentine’s weekend and was able to spend some time with loved ones. I also hope that you all are staying warm and aren’t too iced and/or snowed in.
We had a beautiful snowfall a week ago on February 7th. It was like a winter wonderland, It melted away rather quickly.
We were fortunate over this past weekend, we got just a bit of ice. Right now we’re having a cold rain. According to the forecast, things are about to change for the worse. I’m thankful we did our grocery shopping Sunday morning.. We may be iced/snowed in for a while… hope not… we’ll see. 
This year we wasn’t much in the mood for Valentine’s celebrating with flowers, chocolates or jewelry activities: flowers die and I rarely wear ornaments other than my wedding ring. So, no gifts is no big deal.
However when my husband hit on the perfect gifts this year, I accepted them with joy and appreciation.
Instead of a dozen roses, I got a fine gauge kb knitting loom.
Instead of gaudy pieces of jewelry, My husband and I gave each other an electric start generator. This is something we’ve wanted since we got hit by a tornado last spring 2020 and we were without electric for a week.
Right now, with threats of bad weather and possibilities of power outages in our area, it’s the perfect time for us to invest in a generator.
In crafting news… My husband and I have started a couple more diamond dot paintings. His is a fish setting and mine is mason jars with flowers. We figure, as long as we’re grounded at home still, we might as well continue to be creative. We really do enjoy this form of crafting. It’s amazing how relaxing it is.
Wishing you all a good week.
Keep warm and stay safe.

Depending on where you live, that generator may be quite handy this week! We are coming out of the Artic today, tonight’s low will be above 0, and we are looking forward to teens for a high tomorrow!

Hi Kathy,
I hope you all survived the artic blast. We caught just the edge of it. Our electric stayed on, thankfully. But it did go off during a rain storm, the other day, for a few hours. I cranked up our new generator and was thankful to have my refrigerator, lights and heat working like normal.
Take care. I hope you all have warm weather and blue skies from now on. 🙂

We had a decent warm up after the blast, then about 5 inches of snow Saturday night, but it started melting immediately, and it may be 60’s later this week! I’ll take it!

Amen Kathy,
Take it and do a happy dance too. Yes!
Thank goodness for the warm up after the blast. I hope you all continue to melt out and wee green sprouts start peeking their heads out soon. 🙂

We are melted and now they say 70 on Saturday, then backs to 40’s and 50’s but that works for me!
