It's The Love Month

I keep my Valentine's decor out 

the entire month of February. 

The month of love is almost 

over as I call it.

Not many folks I know decorate

for Valentine's, but I do.

Let's start off where I placed Eliza's French Birds.

The pears and hearts I also made over the years.

Bob brought home this red enameled milk pail.

I told him it would be perfect in one of my displays.

I also have a blue one...so now I just need 

a white one...can you guess why???

I happened to find these dark pink lights

in my laundry room back in December.

Why they were in there is beyond me....

but thought they would look pretty on my tree

for the month of February.

When they are on at night, they look more 

of a dark pink...not as light as these pics.

My snowman likes them anyway. LOL

If you noticed...I added some of my

crocheted hearts to my tree too.

Hall display.

Bedroom display.

As you can see I mostly love red.

I just purchased this heart.

It was made from an antique coverlet piece.

LOVE IT!

A few red textiles out.

My prim doll holding a Hershey's kiss.

I made yo yo's from fabric and created 

this heart pillow.

My teddys came out to enjoy the month.

I also made this wool penny mat.

Tea stained it to make it look a bit old.

In other news,

the second polar vortex is over...

lets hope it wont come back.

Thursday morning as I headed out of my

driveway early in the morning for work,

I had to stop a few houses from mine.

There was a deer in the middle

of my street.

I stopped and it finally took off.

Then another one crossed which

I did not see at first.

 Just glad I was not going fast. 

Not only was I surprised to see the deer,

I was more surprised they were out there

as it was snowing pretty hard that morning.

Then when I got to work,

as I was pulling into the parking lot,

I hit a patch of ice and almost ran into

the shrubs. 

The road in to the lot is not lit and I did not see the ice.

God was with me that morning for sure.

So I read this week that

the ice on Lake Erie is near 98% coverage

which is skewing the totals for all of

our Great Lakes total being at 33% now.

This really means that the other lakes are 

really not that much covered in ice, because

Lake Erie is making the combined numbers higher.

Our state is surrounded by 4 of the 5 lakes.

We have Lake Superior to the way North.

Lake Michigan is to the West of where I live.

Lake Huron starts an hour North of me.

Lake Erie is about 1 1/2 hours South of me.

Lake Ontario is the only lake that does not

border Michigan.

Just thinking of all that ice

is making me cold. LOL

Decided to make some chicken noodle soup

today for dinner.

Keep warm out there my friends.

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Love Blessings To All!
