We enjoyed a tiny tease of spring weather this week. It is amazing what a little warmth and sunshine can do for the soul! It made me SO happy. I knew not to be fooled by old man winter's trickery... a storm blew in and left us with a beautiful blanket of fresh fallen snow.
Do you know snowmen come from heaven unassembled?
Just for me and you!

Have a beautiful weekend and don't forget to play!

Your snow woman is so cute...and so are you!

You are precious!
And yes they do come unassembled.
I think sometimes you meet special people in different ways and you are just supposed to know them in life. You are one of those people to me.
Happy day to you and yes, Ms. Lorraine one day we shall meet!
I am calling it to be.
And seriously you are one of the prettiest people and well as I read above everyone including me thinks you have gorgeous hair! And you do!
Smiles to you my friend.

LORRAINE!!! Oh dearest, it is so nice to see you and hear about your end of the world. Well, my hopes of spring, though I know spring is far off for us, were brought into reality yesterday. We got 10 inches here in the Twin Cities!!! So, today on my day off from work, we are shoveling our way out!!!! But I cannot help but look at the snow and just marvel at its beauty. Every season has its shining moment! ENJOY THE DAY AND THANK YOU FOR COMING TO VISIT WITH ME!!! Anita

Lorraine you are the cutest little thing ever! And so is your darling snow woman! My daughter said you got a big dose of sunshine this past week and then BAM! She lives in Layton (I think I have already told you that) and had asked if I could come to Utah this week to see she and the kids...and I told her I wouldn't until I knew for sure is was done snowing there. I have to travel over Switzer(sp) pass,and I don't like ice, so I think I will put off a trip to Utah for another month or so.
But I am glad it snowed just so you guys could make that sweet little snow person!!!! I love the hat!
hugs
