had a very warm day, figures...

the big, bad storms are coming in tonight sometime...

so the day was warm and things began appearing...

like grass and leaves and such...

can you believe I got these out of my kitchen window...

the piles are going down pretty quick here...

see, I told you there was grass under there...

not having a good day...

must have picked up a tummy bug...

but I haven't been anywhere!

Craig's been sick but with a head thingy...

I spent most of the day in bed...

when DH got home, I grabbed a hoody and asked him to take me outside...

5 minutes tops out there...

but it felt good...

and the snow pile today...

I had to sit on the steps and rest a bit before I could finish out there...

I sat on the stool and washed the dishes when I got back in...

not much to do, but DH can't do them one handed...

and washed out his sock things that go over his arm when he has the brace on...

finally got some chicken noodle soup down and that is doing ok...

hope its only a 24 hour thing...

its not enough to kill you, but its just miserable...

that's one good thing about warm weather...

kills all these bugs!

;)

a mini make over and a weather report...

home alone again, so the piddle fartin' had to happen...

pulled out a few things...

because this needed a makeover...

had buttons and beads glued all over the top and all...

just collecting dust...

so popped that off...

stuck it in the sink and washed it real good...

and started gluing and tied a tiny little bow right there...

I wish I had taken a before I destroyed it photo...

but I didn't...

isn't it cute?

do you know what it's for?

for holding a card...

like the one I made DH for Valentine's...

if just happened to be laying here...

and it matched...

(can you tell I like polka dots?)

and meet Sam...

Sam's a sheep...

he's a cool sheep...

he hangs out at the foot of the cross...

Craiger got this for me when he picked up my bunnies in love...

all the things I love...

the cross, yellow flowers and a sheep all in one thing!

its 12:24am and its 44F out there!

calling for 59F later today...

and...

get this...

severe weather watch...

like in TORNADO!

seriously?

well, if one comes through here, I hope it throws me south and not north...

like on a beach...

but no sharks...

I don't like sharks...

there's still plenty of snow out there...

maybe it will take that and throw it somewhere else...

you know, a field that no ones using right now...

;)

have a good day and dodge the twisters...

the great thaw has begun...

with the temperature rising...

a whole whopping 46 today...

things are slowly reappearing...

tons of these ice chunks were every where this morning...

it all fell off the trees and lines...

and it made such a racket last night...

but as the day went on...

the dripping continued...

and the sun shrunk the piles...

showing more of the grays and browns...

its very squishy under foot...

this is down...

it was up to just under the windows...

that may take awhile to get rid of...

its happening...

and tomorrow in the 50s...

there is no where for all this water to go...

it will be run off...

the ground is frozen 16 inches down...

so, its going to get yucky...

and good news on DH!

NO SURGERY!

the doctor was very impressed with him...

3 more weeks with the brace and sling...

3 weeks of therapy...

and then back to see him again...

thank you for all your prayers for him...

God is good...

;)

hope you are thawing, too...

or sunbathing...

depending on how far south you are...

this month is steadily ticking away...

March isn't that far off...

;)

good morning...

this came to me this morning during my prayer time...

who to pray for...

always, and especially in this winter weather...

I pray for the homeless...

I moan and complain about the weather and being stuck inside...

but seriously...

it would be someone else's dream come true...

pray for those who are in the same boat as we are...

I know their struggles...

and pray for those who have more...

that they do not fail to be grateful and appreciative of what they have...

in other words...

pray for everyone...

we all have needs...

we all need to learn...

we all share a walk...

a journey...

and please don't shoot me...

but I must report the weather now...

cuz that's what I do...

temp is 33F...

above freezing at 3:40am...

and today's high...

drum roll, please...

48F!

I also need prayer for old DH this morning...

he sees the doctor at 9 for his elbow...

today determines if he needs surgery and a couple screws...

or not...

have a fun Tuesday and smile at the grumpy ones!

;)
