from one extreme to the other...

we started out our Saturday like this...

snow still left over from the mid week blizzard...

by almost noon...

we were down to this...

so we came home and did lunch...

some laundry...

and headed out again mid afternoon...

ran across Scooter in the middle of a field...

and by then, most of the snow was gone...

it was in the 50s...

and by the time Sunday morning came around...

all the rest of this was gone, too...

we had 60s...

the three of us headed to town and shopped and brought home lunch...

then took the rest of the day off, mostly...

cleaned out the fridge, washed dishes and had chicken for supper...

(picked that up in town at the deli)

so it was an easy weekend...

feeling much better now...

Craig, on the other hand is sick again...

so I am thinking his little body needs to get into the dr's office this week...

and get the meds he needs to finish this stuff off once and for all...

I just hope I don't have to do another round of it...

he took some vacation days, so has four days off in a row...

so don't have to worry about him getting through work for a few days...

I hope your weekend was good...

looks like we might get another snow mid week again...

temps are dropping and it rained pretty good last night...

just waiting for the next few weeks to pass so spring can really happen...

so much to do...

;0)

my own little world...

while the blizzard blew on...

I was here...

finished my garden scrapbook cover...

and I found these at the Dollar General last Sunday...

going on the next bear I do...

and I doodled...

planning, planning, planning...

this is the deck...

changing things up a bit this year...

all kinds of ideas going through my head...

and longing for the time spent out here this year...

I am so ready...

our power flickered off and on much of the day and then we lost power for awhile at 9pm...

not off too long- 35 minutes or so...

so we did fine...

DH came home at 11 since they didn't have power there...

Craig had the day off...

so we just cooked and ate and napped...

good day...

;0)

hope you were safe and warm...

tornadoes again in the south and east...

prayers for all in this wide variety of weather...

blizzard warning...

and its just getting started...

5-8 inches of this stuff and up to 50 mph winds...

I am holed up until it melts...

;0)

someone was praying for a snow day...

and got it...

;0)

have a great day...

hope your area doesn't look like this...

62 on Sunday...

got my flip flops ready...

;0)

well, shucks...

I have not been doing very well for a long time now...

too many things came at me at once, I guess...

and one thing leads to another...

and so on...

until I got up this morning and was having trouble breathing...

I almost called the ambulance...

but I had Craig here...

so we made it through that first hour...

and I called the clinic...

talked to my doctor's nurse and made plans to get in in the afternoon late...

called the old man at work and he came home early, so we left early and got in...

the report says acute bronchitis...

but it feels like my lungs are full, too...

but I got antibiotics and an inhaler and he told me to take Robotussin DM....

and I really do feel better already...

the nice weekend proved too much for me and everything that I wanted to do didn't happen...

but DH did get me out on a short drive and I got these awesome photos...

love sheep and lambs...

that little baby there...

its tail was wagging so fast...

nothing cuter than a baby lamb...

so- I am on the mend now...

he said it could take 4 weeks...

still have time to get better before spring comes for real...

pray it happens...

we could be getting another snow storm here...

starting Tuesday night and finishing up on Wednesday...

4-8 inches...

are they kidding?

I will let you know what really happens...

;0)

making progress...

its a boy!

and adopted...

by the same family that wants the calico...

he's the one that started hissing at me...

good thing mama was good with them and nursing them...

with our colds, Craig and I didn't not touch them for a week or so...

this little girl is so precious...

she started cleaning herself last night while I rocked her...

Lotus doing lunch...

they spent the afternoon in the chair with their mama...

then we put them back in the kennel...

mama bombed our little photo shoot, so we gave up...

these were the only decent shots that we got...

the week has been one of healing...

cleaning...

(we got a little behind here)

and praying...

I have had 2 sistahs in need this week...

and the other one can always us an extra word in there, too...

prayers were answered with one and still working on the other one...

our snow finally melted yesterday and they are calling for 60s today...

I am thinking of being outside today and doing the running tomorrow...

back in the 40s tomorrow and after that...

high 40s...

good enough to shop on...

in and out of stores isn't so bad...

got the deck cleaned off a bit yesterday...

and sat out there for awhile...

even  got a walk in with DH after work...

have a great weekend...

now, where did I put my flip flops?

;0)

here comes spring...

while this is what we had this weekend here...

and roads were really bad, we were told to stay home...

if you didn't have to get out...

so, I had fun with these girls...

all girl babies this time...

eyes are open and they are starting to wander around...

this one has her forever home waiting on her...

and hoping another one, too...

they wanted a boy...

but maybe they will take 2 girls...

Charlie is a good babysitter...

;0)

he keeps an eye on them...

I had a wonderful day Saturday...

felt really good...

but yesterday was terrible...

everything was flaring at the same time and the pain levels were high...

finally figured a couple of things out mid evening...

I was dehydrated...

which made the fibro worse...

or the fibro made that worse...

started chugging fluids...

and the more I drank, the less I hurt...

grabbed a banana...

and the spasms were gone in a couple of hours...

by bedtime, I was ready to go!

Craig and I are still making snot...

just not as much...

and still coughing...

but not as much...

so hoping by the time the 60s hit here later this week...

(remember the title of the post...)

I am up and moving...

OUTSIDE!

;0)

Hope your Valentine weekend went well...

and that you got lots of chocolate...

I got that twin iron bed for the deck, so had to get my own chocolate...

(Craig worked yesterday, so hit the clearance stuff on his way out last night...)

;0)

I am now fully stocked until Easter!

golly gee...

its been a week since my last post...

I have been in a Nyquil coma for about the last week...

it seems that whatever Craig has, I have, too...

just a head and chest cold thingy bug...

without the Nyquil, I cough, sneeze and blow my nose constantly...

with it...

well, pretty much sleep the time away...

when I am up, I cannot function...

but its more comfortable...

and we have gotten some snow and colder days, too...

my guy has taken me for a ride a couple of times after work to get me out of the house...

10-15 minutes is enough for me...

and the van is already warmed up and ready to go...

so I am not getting chilled getting out...

everything here has been about the same...

the babies are opening their eyes now...

I do need prayers for a friend who might have had a stroke this morning...

her name is Carol and such a sweet, wonderful person...

they transferred her to another hospital and they have started their tests to see what's going on...

she is a bit older, so it could be anything...

healthy as can be up until now...

hope you are all well and enjoying this lovely weather...

;0)

the road not taken...

from our ride on Sunday...

I am having a couple of not so good days here...

the weather is bouncing around so much, my body can't keep up...

can you believe that this was our first time down this country road?

we are going to start taking more roads like this in the spring...

roads full of wonderful beauty...

working away here on my physical therapy...

gotta be ready when the real spring shows up...

Craig is a bit better...

but has days to go with this...

I have been up most of the night with  my shoulder and arm...

got it down to a dull roar and have eaten breakfast...

so I am going to sneak back to be for awhile...

shhhh...

don't tell anyone...

;-)

baby photo shoot...

these were born yesterday afternoon...

when I was at my sickest...

and even with a few problems here and there...

everything is normal now and mama is doing a good job taking care of them...

they weren't very happy with the photo shoot...

and when they voiced their opinion of the whole thing...

and rather loudly, I might add...

mama got her panties in a wad...

and snatched them back...

she was not happy about it at all...

that's a first for me...

;-)

mama's are usually grateful for a mini break...

I need prayers for Craig...

he came home an hour early last night so sick...

he's been juiced, fed and pilled...

and now he's back in bed...

he caught this really nasty head cold thing going around at work...

they have been dropping like flies the last 10 days or so...

and now its his turn...

praying we don't end up with it, too...

he looks miserable...

have good days!
