Sick days...

We've been cooped up for what feels like forever... fevers and coughs, sleepless nights and grumpy days.  We have spent a lot of time watching cartoons like zombies, but we've also had a few creative moments as well...

In the garden...

Spinach, Kale, Bok Choy, lettuce, broccoli, potatoes, and snap peas are all in the ground... and I'm almost giddy to be back in the garden (and of course I'm holding my breath and crossing my fingers)...

Love...

With all of the snow and cold weather, we had lots of time to make special cards and cookies yesterday.  Today, we had a few friends over to exchange valentines and decorate cookies.  A lovely bouquet of flowers from the Tofu King and a few red streamers, and we were definitely feeling the love...

Handmade valentines!

Sugar cookies with icing and sprinkles... decorated by little hands!

Valentine mailboxes for special deliveries!

A valentine for the Mama :)

Deep snow...

Beach time...

Two light-filled shots from this past weekend at the beach... and now it's time to gear up for the next wave of snow!
