ever, this weekend is the romantic one. Yes of course every
weekend is. But how wonderful in the middle of a cold, cold
month to decorate the house with hearts, and talk about what we
can do to show our love.
Today we watched a beautiful movie, if you like opera
Falling For Figaro. And we drove out to the lake just to see the
water. It was beautiful. Tonight's art is one of my bird Valentine's.

I love the idea of birds as messengers of love. I'm sure the birds
who frequent our back porch if it's raining, or even very cold
like today, love Steven, because he is still filling the Christmas

Also today -- Huzzah -- the city ploughed our street, and took away
the huge piles of snow. Not bad. :( The snowstorm was

Wishing you a day filled with love.
