Still Snowing

Everyone is really tired of the snow and cold, but as we all know,
"No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn." Hal Borland
 
I'm beginning to wonder!
Freezing rain and more snow expected today!

Winter Sun


sharing with...
and
where you share 5 random facts about you, your day,
your pets, your kids, whatever.
 
1. Another cold and blustery day! It's minus 25 degrees today, with snow squalls.
 
2. It's been a long harsh winter this year, but there is beauty in every season. Finding that beauty warms my soul.
 
3. Although we have had masses of snow all winter, it's been dry. Dry snow doesn't make for good snowmen/women. Not one single snow person had adorned our backyard this year. It's a shame too, because Santa left a certain little girl, a "snowman kit" under the tree. It's a black top hat, a bright scarf, huge buttons, some coal for eyes, a carrot nose, and a toothy grin. The latter three things are made of plastic, so we are still hoping to get out there when the snow slushes up a bit! 
 
4. We are celebrating big time this weekend, my daughter's birthday, her job promotion, her dog Peaches' birthday, and our dog, Merfy's birthday, as well! Love, laughter, cake and presents for all!
 
5. Our granddaughter, (Beep) has been spending her afterschool and dinner time with us, all this week. Her mom's new promotion, came with longer works hours for a while.  So... I better sign off and get cooking! Beep helped plan the menu, which just happens to include all her favourite food! Tonight is vegetarian lasagne, fresh homemade Italian bread, and a Caesar salad!

This is my pet Australian Bearded Dragon, Tucker.
 
He is almost 14 years old, and I think he is quite handsome!

Sunlit

 
We finally had a sunny day afternoon yesterday!
As the sun set, I noticed a nice glow coming through the trees,
that added some interesting colour to these guys!
