We're up to 22 degrees. Had some sun this morning but it's all gone now. They snow is going to roll in later.
I did not know they seperated like you saw on Youtube. I always wondered what it is when it say "by products". For dinner I am going to make potatoes and veggies with the ham. And apllesauce of course.

Good Morning, sharing some snow pics.  Yes, SNOW IN FLORIDA!!  I'm still in shock. lol.

Back steps tell the story.  I've been very careful navigating them. 

View out back.  The kettle is an old cast iron sugar kettle...used to make cane syrup back in the day. 

We made a REAL snowman but should have made one sooner. It was hard to make one with the "crusty" snow. 

There's
a highway under there somewhere. lol. Thankfully traffic was minimal.
Most folks had the good sense to stay home but there are the rednecks
(US TOO) that will  be out on four wheelers and such. haha.

Happy Friday!! Hope you enjoy your day and have a great weekend...  Take care, stay warm and safe~~~ debijo

The birds, squirrels & chipmonks are enjoying
the warmer morning, scurrying here & there.
I love watching them sharing the bird feeders. lol
I'm doing chores (dusting, yuck), but enjoying
a thankful Thursday. Same for you, my friend.
*hugs*

Have a fun & cozy Wednesday, Gayle.
It's a good day to have a good day.
*hugs*

Good Tuesday Morning!  How about a ride on the beach with me today?  

Of course it has to be someplace warmer than most of the beautiful graphics going around right now.  

So for me, it is a good morning to sit and read all day long, like my online daughter, Jo, shared with me.  

I can always just look outside to see the birds that love every season, even a snowy winter.  

Or look over at the beautiful Amaryllis that loves to bloom inside during the cold winter days that are outside.  

And I am blessed to be able to send Hubby to the mailbox to retrieve the packages and mail as I wait for his speedy return, fixing some nice Hot Chocolate and ...  

I wonder what blessings this week will bring us.  

It was a beautiful day yesterday with sunshine and mid 50's.  The birds had so much fun eating seeds!  

The bright red color of the cardinals getting on and off the feeder always catches your eyes.  

As well as all the little bitty birds going from the feeder to the ground so as not to miss a bite.  

Birds singing and feasting in winter is just another reminder that it is 2025!  Have you dated anything yet to remind you of the new year?  

Just a note to say hello and to wish you a happy Sunday.. Hope you are doing well and enjoying your day.  Take care and have a great week~~~ hugs, debijo

Caturday is here again on this cold January of 2025.  Do you have weekend plans?  

If not, come on over and we will sit by the fire for a while.  Do you like coffee or tea or maybe some hot chocolate?  

I can tell by the chocolate on your face already which one you prefer!  

Well, would you look at that, someone has already been in the coffee bean this morning.  

What are you guys doing in the pantry?  Don't eat it all because I need my coffee every day.  

Oh what the heck, let's just go back to bed for a while and take a short nap to start this weekend off right.  

More snow here too. No warm up anytime soon. Makes you want to hibernate.

Thursday is a day to be thankful.  Snow, fires and so much more going on all over the world.  

Sometimes when we say thank you, we have to understand that even though everything isn't perfect, it is right for us right now.  

Then you look around and find confirmation all around you.  

Say thanks, be grateful, stop and smell the flowers, put a smile on your face, and speak to others today.  

Your day will be better and you will make their day better too.  You never know what someone else is going through.  

I bet you're in a Winter Wonderland, Gayle!
They're forecasting 3-5" snow for us
Fri-Sat. That would be great w/me:)
Happy Wednesday!❄️☃️🛷

Wednesday is the middle of the week and here we are.  

Teachers and children are all back in school after the Christmas / New Years break this week.  

Would you believe that both are already excited about a day off from school?  They are looking for a snow day.  

It might be hard to hit a giraffe in the face with a snowball.  

But a giraffe photobomb, that picture is easy to catch.  

Now you know a sweet thing like me would not do either one of those things.  I wish you a wonderful Wednesday!  Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

Good Morning!  This weather has been wonderful for reading.  I love a really good book with a really happy ending.  

We all know that along the way in life, there are ups and downs, and sharp turns that take us in a different direction.  But where would we be now if we hadn't followed that new direction?  

As you read you realize that in life, all of us have a story to tell.  Have you thought about your story lately?  

Have you shared your story with family and friends?  Have your children and grandchildren learned a good life lesson from your story?  

We are all very different, unique, and our stories are all different.  Share the good and the bad because that is how we learn and get to where we are now.  

How is your story coming along?  One day, we will make it all the way through the book to The End.  

The first full week of 2025.  Lord, we ask that you start us off in the right direction for the entire year.  

One of the best feelings is the Holy Spirit in your heart and someone talking to you as you go through the day.  

Let us shine our light for the whole world to see what a difference we can make every day.  

Change the world one small step at a time and never miss a chance to make a difference.  

Put on your cuteness as you start each day and see, actually look around you, who you can help even with just a smile.  

Happy Sunday... Hope you enjoy your day~~ debijo

13 this morning. Brrrrrr

And if old man winter avoids
you, you're probably thankful:)
Then... there are those of us
who love the white stuff and all
it's magical scenes and senses
linked w/awesome memories. 
Happy Weekend, Gayle! Your bg
is wonderful!  *hugs* -di
