We are snowed in with almost a foot a snow (my unofficial measurement was 9 inches). I thought it would be over with today but no, there is a prediction of ice this afternoon. So far, we've been lucky and have not lost our power, unlike many people in Portland.
Since it is Valentine's Day and we did not plan in advance, we made our own cards (or I should Michael made them - just watching the videos on doing this gives me a headache but he is really good at it) -
I am also having a splurge day and treating myself to sugar - brownies are in the oven!
To take our minds off the weather, here are some roses from last year.

The cards are wonderful - and I'm sure the brownies will be too! You're making the best of the cold and snow this Valentine's Day. I loved the photos - I wish I had your touch with roses.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated Valentine's Day! I love those sweet cards, and truly, the most intimate V-Days are the best for me. And your roses are spectacular. I needed a dose of lushness in this crazy winter -15F weather we are having.
ReplyDeleteLove seeing all of these warm glowing photos. It does lift the spirits with the snow coming down a blizzard here. Cute heart cards. That Michael is so talented.
ReplyDeleteA good thing to do in snow events: wake up and smell the (virtual) roses.
ReplyDeleteI love those valentine cards... I'll be looking for it online (despite the fact that my origami past successes is limited at best).
Well those photos put a smile on my face. Gorgeous! As are the origami cards.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Valentines and even more gorgeous roses! I especially love 'Eden'. My husband had the same idea about brownies as you did. When I woke up on Valentines Day, he brought me brownies in bed! That was a first. We ended up with about 1/4 inch snow and very frigid temps. Other parts of Alabama got much more.
