Soon flowers will be blooming, Gayle, that
other life depends on... including our
enjoyment of them:) Happy weekend!

Happy Spring tomorrow, Gayle! *hugs*

The birds know Spring is near. They don't
mind if time zones change twice a year...
do you? Happy New Week, Gayle! -di

1st Monday, 1st work week of new month.
I sure hope this new year slows down,
unlike last  year, Gayle:)  *hugs*

One day closer to the weekend and warmer weather.  

As the days are flying by, would you like to sit and have some coffee and cookies?  

I know we can't slow time down but just think of the things we could talk about and the memories we could make.  

We can solve the problems of the world and share our dreams of the future.  

We can always cheer each other on toward the finish line.  

Now get ready for the best time of your life as we share our Blessings & Hugs with each other.  

Wednesday is the middle of the week and the best day to share your heart with others.  

Love is what life is all about, the greatest of all is Love.  Put a smile on someone's face today by sharing your smile with them or doing something good for them. 

After all, it is the little, fun things that make life so wonderful for them and for you too.  

Besides, when you make others happy, it makes you forget your problems too!  

Never miss an opportunity to share your heart overflowing with love with others.  

This is where we are right now, today, make the most of it.  Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

It is a Tuesday and some people in Central & South Texas are waking up to snow today.  

Some of my friends are excited that they might get to build a snowman today.  

Maybe others will just stay inside and play with the toys they got for Christmas.  

I don't think anyone will actually be able to ice skate today in Texas unless they go to a rink that is man made.  

But families will have fun today just being together in the rare Texas snow.  

Some will just try to stay warm today and build a fire in the fireplace.  

I am just thankful that they are getting snow and North Texas is not this time around.  Sharing Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

Good Monday Morning!  It is cold in North Texas, 18°!   Tomorrow morning it will even be cold in South Texas.  

At least we do not have any moisture in the air or precipitation therefore we do not have any snow in the DFW area.  

Our friends in Lubbock had a surprise Sunday with a light dusting of snow.  In Waco, Houston, and San Antonio areas, they should get snow.  Even the Corpus Christi area, where I grew up, has a chance of snow flurries which is rare.  

I am just hoping that there is no ice on the trees anywhere in Texas.  If the trees are icy and the tree limbs get heavy and break then the electricity usually goes out.  

After all, we just want to be able to build a snowman and get out of school or work.  

Hey, maybe the snowman could check the mailbox and bring the mail inside to me.  

Enjoy this new week with Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

What a beautiful day we had yesterday at 60°!  Happy Friday because even though we may not have as much sunshine, it should be 60° again.  

Plants in the garage all got watered.  It was so nice not to have the heater on in there as the door opens to the north wind.  

Then we had to move the bricks along the bottom of the plastic to get to the temperature device to change the battery.  All 4 devices got the batteries replaced.  

You want to do it on a warm sunny day with sunshine beating down, not when it is below freezing and you don't know the temperature under there or when to turn the heater on.  It was SO humid and hot when I lifted the plastic up.  PERFECT for our plants!  

We were being proactive since we know the arctic air is on the way (shiver as I type that).  

For us life is good when it is warm and the sun is shining brightly and when all our plants are HAPPY!  :)

I know, it isn't Caturday.  But isn't that a sweet kitty this Thursday!  

I hope I put a smile on your face today.  It is supposed to be our pick of the week's best day.  

I don't know if we will get more snow, but bitter cold temperatures are coming back for about a week.  

So we will have to get our running and exercise done this week.  Next week Mom won't want to leave the house again.  

Yes Grandma knitted these for us and we will be very thankful when that arctic blast arrives.  We are sending her this picture!  

I see she got scarves for you for Christmas too.  Now enjoy the sunshine and warmth today if it isn't too late.  

Good Wednesday Morning to you!  Today I will give you some things to think about.  

Do you talk to yourself in the mirror, maybe with words of encouragement?

Remember you are in control of your attitude and life!  

Yesterday is gone, no need to worry about it.  You must concentrate on today!  

So go forward with an open mind as to what today will look like.    

Always show love and be real.  

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 ...  

Still lovin' this layout, Gayle. LQQkin' good!
Wishing you a really nice today! -di
