Hello from Sunday night, and, we have a winner!

Hello, hello post Valentine's! :DValentineI do hope your Valentine's Day was a special and a lovely one.As you probably know, I didn't have Robert here this year, but we spoke for hours and exchanged cards and love greetings from across the great, big pond. Some years are like that, and, while we're determined to spend every Christmas together, Valentine's Day is a bit hit and miss.But I did wear my red shoes!IMG_2608 copy copyAnd went for a lovely walk with my mom on the beach.beachI tell you what; the rain let up, but the fog rolled in and stayed over Vancouver. I was looking out toward Vancouver Island thinking of my new friend The Hostess of the Humble Bungalow, and her sunny walk, and thinking, "Typical! And I chose to live under these bloody mountains!"IMG_2606 copy copyBut then Kerstie sent me Valentine's photos of our precious three, Binky, Bunny and Ziggy, and it didn't really matter if the sun wasn't out, there was a smile on my face a mile wide. Thank you my baby.That was the loveliest surprise.binky bunny ziggyValentine's eve was a special time for C and for me. We had a simple supper of great, big artichokes. Nothing so good as that for us.IMG_2650 copy copyThen, what a difference the night makes!evening morningFrom gloomy, leaden sky, to morning sun!I must admit I took a photo and stuck it up on my Instagram with the caption of something like, "What the hell is that bright light!!!"013 copy copyThings are just so much better with the sun, aren't they? For days now I've been living vicariously thru my friend Daryl in New York and her sunny, blue skies!017 copy copyBut now I have a bit of blue skies of my own!030 copy copyOh my gosh it makes such a difference to my seasonal affect disorder brain!IMG_2668 copy copyAnd to the garden...and to the hummingbird who zips around scolding my cats and trying to get sips of this spirea.033 copy copyAnd I'm able to take stock of the garden. (that's a lot of garlic)034 copy copyAnd pick a posy of tiny, sweet violets for my bedside table.037 copy copyEven though it's Sunday, I still had a bunch of work to do.workingAnd so did C, but really, who cares on a day like today where the sun is streaming in thru every window.005 copy copyWe all get to luxuriate in the sun for a day or two now, and we'll all take full advantage of that. :D004 copy copyAnd now for that random generator thingie:Congratulations Julie, from Forest Poppy.random number Congratulations Julie!
