Hello February


Today is very warm and sunny - a taste of Spring!  Charlotte painted outside in a short sleeve shirt.  I wouldn't mind to have another month of Winter, though.  I've enjoyed it this year!  I know I will miss the cozy, cold evenings when it's 90 degrees in July.

We've been baking and decorating for Valentine's day!  I picked up a bunch of yellow tulips at Trader Joe's yesterday.  I love having fresh flowers in the house.  

I hope you are having a wonderful weekend!  Since the weather is so nice we are grilling salmon for dinner tonight with potatoes and probably a nice salad... Yum!

    Love the mantel decor and the twinkle lights around the door.

    We are under a blizzard wartch with freezing rain and high winds for today and tomorrow. No spring here any time soon, lol!

    Enjoy your din-din!

      Hi Sue! Hope you are staying warm. We are expected to be back to winter here by Thursday with lows in the teens and highs in the thirties!

    I love your decorations and your cookies, Julia. They came out so pretty. I hope you're able to enjoy the warm weather while it lasts. I'm going to look at the tulips when I go to Trader Joe's this week; I can't wait until the super cheap daffodils are available, the $1/bunch ones.

    Mmm, grilled salmon with potatoes and salad - that sounds divine, and so summery. It's still pretty cold here and spring wont come properly until April. Your Valentine's mantel is lovely. x

    Winter no longer exists in my area :( I loved celebrating Valentine's day with my girls when they were little, so fun to make cookies and put up decorations.

    I think we may have winter forever here in the northeast. Your home looks so bright and cozy. Love your daughter's TO DO list.

    Julia!! I don't think I realized that you had a blog! So glad I found it. I was on my friend Sarah's blog (Pewter + Sage) and saw your comment. I love your mantel - you did a great job with it! Great doses of color and texture :)
