I have to apologize for being so absent these days...I've come down with the nastiest cold/flu bug and it's just sucked the life out of me! No energy at all! It seems that this bug has been going around and around our house for the last few months...it seems one of us is sick at one time or another...have I mentioned that I can't wait for spring? Mother Nature just keeps teasing us...would you believe last weekend we just had another big dump of snow? Will it ever end? Anyway, just wanted to touch base and let you all know that I haven't dropped off the face of the earth, I'm just sick....sick and tired of being sick and tired...lol!

I hope all is good with everyone else.

Hugs for a great weekend ;o)

Happy Birthday To You Mom!

.

That's me and Mom more than 30 years ago! Look at the furniture and the colour of the walls and curtains! Oh we've come along way since then haven't we?

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Jeepers how time flies! Here's to many more Mom! Hope you enjoy your day! We're thinking of you lots and wishing you a Wonderful Birthday!

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I wanted to sing you Happy Birthday but I think you would agree with me that these guys do a much better job!

And here's some more of them just in case that wasn't enough for you...enjoy!

Okay, I know it's April Fool's Day, but this is just cruel...

.

Nice sense of humor Mother Nature...

.

This is what we woke up to this morning! So much for the birds chirping and the snow melting!

.
It's yet another snow day for the kids...that's gotta be a record for the number of snow days for them! They have missed so much school because of our weather.
.
.
These poor trees are sooooo heavy with snow today...most of them are drooping and hanging off to one side now.
.
.

I can't believe how much snow the tops of these trees can hold.
.

.

.

Check out our roof! Now that's a lot of snow!
.

.

I thought this bare tree looked pretty neat with all that snow on it's branches! You can click on this picture and all the others to get a better look :o)

.

I don't think the squirrels will be bathing in the tree tops today! Good Grief Charlie Brown! My Grandmother told me yesterday that I jinxed it by putting all the winter clothes away the other day...silly me thinking that Spring was here! What was I thinking?

.

One good thing about today is that the temperature is beautiful and the snow is super duper sticky so I can kick the kids outside for the day and I can stay inside and the knit the day away! Sounds like a great plan to me!

.

Stay safe, stay warm, and have a wonderful Wednesday!

Hugs,

:o)
