Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind. And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind. ~ William Shakespeare It's the start of the weekend. This Friday is an extra special celebration of life with the British Hubby's return from his travels. He knew I've been having a tough February so he brought me…Read more Homecoming

The Last Frank Stripe
To get through the hardest journey we need take only one step at a time, but we must keep on stepping. ~ Chinese Proverbs The sun is shining, and I just finished my last Frank Stripe on my Frank in Paris scarf. Now I have 40 regular rows to go before the border. This scarf…Read more The Last Frank Stripe
Winding Down the Weekend
The only limits in life are the ones you make. The sun was short lived, and the rain/mist is back. I noticed snow on the forecast this week (I hope my new snow shovel arrives before it comes). The kitties and I had some extra time on our hands so we decided to bake and…Read more Winding Down the Weekend
The Bread of Life
Sometimes you will never know the true value of a moment until it becomes a memory. Life is full of ups and downs. This week an important person from my childhood passed away. Services were in the Midwest, and unfortunately, I wasn't able to make it there in time. To compound matters even more, the…Read more The Bread of Life
Here Comes the Sun
Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise. ~ Victor Hugo Last week, we had unusual amounts of snow. This week, we had heavy rains with mudslides and landslides. Today the sun is shining and the birds are chirping. Currently, one of my Feb-blue-ary projects is taking a soak. And, I had…Read more Here Comes the Sun
Small Comforts

I have a few old stand bys I use when life gets me down. One of them involves LOTR. Another is baking or cooking. Today, I had…Read more Small Comforts
Celebrate Life
Happiness is found when you stop comparing yourself to other people. Normally, I celebrate life on Sunday nights, but this week it seemed appropriate to do so on Saturday and Sunday night. Can one really have two many celebrations? Here's one of my favorite beverages, Guinness, hanging out with my British Tea Latte socks. I…Read more Celebrate Life
Missing Umbrellas
A mind is like an umbrella, only useful when open. The snow has mostly melted. Now all that's left are these chunks of snow that resemble icebergs. Part of me keeps waiting for the Titanic to sink in my front lawn. Soon even my lawn icebergs will be gone due to the tremendous amount of…Read more Missing Umbrellas
Snow Day the I
Kindness is like snow - it beautifies everything it covers. ~ Kahlil Gibran This was my view this morning when I woke up. Getting out of our drive wasn't really an option without some digging. So the British Hubby and I put on our boots and did a local hike around the neighborhood in our…Read more Snow Day the I
The Big Chill Refuses to Let Go!
One kind word can warm three winter months. ~ Japanese Proverb Normally, on a Sunday I would be sharing with you some amazing hiking photos. This weekend a winter storm has hit us here in the PNW. The mountains had a high avalanche risk. Earlier it was a sleet mix before finally switching over to…Read more The Big Chill Refuses to Let Go!
