February already?

My Paperwhite flowers grown from bulbs inside, are so prolific now that I had to tie the heads up with a piece of yarn!  So much fun to have fresh flowers as these when there is snow outside!  I cannot believe we are into February already!  The winter here has been harsh but moving right along!

These are buds from my neighbors tree.  I have not identified the tree as yet but these furry buds are huge, perhaps an inch in length and look like an overgrown Pussy Willow!  I am going to see if I can force it to open in the house.  My Dad used to do this each Spring with Maple branches.  He would draw the sprig in India Ink and pen and then again when leaves came out.  I still have one of these drawings and need to get it out for viewing...

Lilly is my constant welcome companion whenever I am at the computer.  If she is not bringing me her toys to throw for her and fetch, she is sleeping on my lap.

She Likes being under any little bit of my sweater-ha!

My beautiful Great Granddaughter Sofiah turned one on January 28th.  It does not seem possible that a whole year has gone by and two years since my beloved Bill passed.  He is in my heart and mind every day and I miss him terribly.  

I hope the beginning of February is a happy time for you all and thank you for visiting today.  I would love for you to leave a comment.  It is easy and I treasure them.

My heart to yours...

Mid-Winter....

Good morning Dear Hearts!  My computer has been down and I thought I had lost it for good but miraculously and with a good neighbor's help, it is revived!!

The photo of the Paperwhites I have grown from bulbs.  This is the first time I have raised any flower from a bulb inside the house!  They are fascinating, growing so rapidly and bringing joy to my winter rooms!

I have also been busy trying to settle things from a rear-ender that happened on January 4th.  No major damages to the car or myself except for whiplash.  Finally, I received the insurance check so I can get my car repaired.  It is only the second time in my whole old life that I have had an accident and the first time was a rear ender, too-LOL!  Why don't people keep their eyes on the road?  I was in a stopped line of traffic both times and the accident happened because the drivers looked away...

I just finished a new-born cupcake hat in knit, just love it!  (you may purchase my homemade things on my Kerrie's Krafts 3 blog :)  Also, a Hood bonnet is featured there.

I am enjoying the front yard birds that come to my feeder.  I placed it in front of the dining room window where my computer is near so I can watch all the goings on with Cardinals, Blue jays, and House Wrens visiting.  The Cardinals are always the most skiddish and I am constantly trying to get a good shot before they dash away-ha!

They dash away to the branches of the Rose of Sharon bush.  I never thought about electrical wires being in the photos now as in SC, everything is run underground.  Not much has changed in my hometown-ha!

And of course I have a squirrel buddy here trying to figure out the best course of action to pounce on the feeder below.  So far, he has not found a way and merely watches me as I take his picture-ha!

Thank you so much for visiting me today and come back soon!  If you have time, please visit my other blogs listed in the sidebar.  And leave a comment, it is very easy to do and I treasure them! :) Have a most wonderful day!

Kerrie
