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...

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...

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!
