Hanging on

Today wasn't too cold, but the snow hangs on. And more is headed our way in the coming weekend. The meteorologist is not saying how much he thinks we will get, but he seems positive we will get some. I know I will feel the same thrill I always feel when it starts to fall, but in the overall scheme of things, I am ready for spring.

I am ready to sit on the front porch and have my morning cup of coffee.

I am ready to see an actual sunrise, not just the gradual appearance of light, with no show of the sun.

I am ready to feel the warm rays of sunshine on my face.

I am ready ready to cook on the grill without having to wear a jacket.

I am ready to dispose of layered clothing.

I am ready to smell lilacs!

I am ready for a nice spring rain.

I am ready to go fishing.

I am ready for these things and so much more, but

Most of all, I am ready to be outside with Lorelei.

Look at these baby blues...

Look at that face! That is a monkey she is holding..if you squeeze its belly, it screams like a monkey. Lorelei always reaches for it and gives it a good hugging.
She played and played with it, and could not get it situated on her truck the way she wanted it...but she didn't want any help from us.
If you don't enlarge any of these but one, enlarge this one and take a look at those blue eyes! Aren't they gorgeous?

We were at Sarah's till late yesterday evening...I didn't do any blogging except to check in with Betsy and George to see where he took her for Valentine's day.

I wanted to quilt on my quilt just a little bit before I started watching the Olympics. There was quite a bit of figure skating, so my eyes were on it. Though I must say, I don't have a favorite skater and I miss that feeling of really cheering for someone. Though in all honesty, I really hate to see any of them not win.

I am trying to get these ready to post....going to help Roger replace the exhaust fan in the bathroom. It shouldn't take long once we start. At least I hope not.

Mansfield Covered Bridge

This is a different view of this bridge...not the normal one seen at all. I am sorry about the quality...not sure what happened. I worked on it with Photoshop some, but grew weary. Nothing seemed to really work. Still, I like the view.

We are watching the Olympics, so not doing much else at night.

I did work on my quilt some today....I brought it upstairs to spread on the bed to see how much I had gotten done. I was happily surprised to find I had more done than I thought. It will still take a good bit of time to finish...just not as much as I thought.

Tomorrow we are heading to see Lorelei for a bit, so I may not be visiting any of the blogs I follow till tomorrow night.
