~ Goodbye ...

... to February!
 
1.  Can you believe that this is the last day of February?
Wow ... wow ... wow!
It has been a very long month.
Snowy ... frigid ... challenging ... exhausting ...
I, for one, am happy to bid it Au Revoir.
I am hoping that March will be milder ... warmer ... calmer.
But they are predicting that we will be crapped on blessed
by another snow storm on Sunday night through Monday
with accumulations of possibly 6+ inches.
Mother Nature, bite me!
 
2.  My Christmas Cactus must have sensed that I needed something to make me smile
since it decided to bloom ... again!
It was a happy sight.
 
3.  I finally organized ... somewhat ... my craft closet.
I can't tell you how great that made me feel.
Now I know and can see where things are ...
all packed in their assigned clear bins.
I felt like beating my chest and doing the Tarzan shout.
Now, if only I could find/make the time to do something
with all of my craft paraphernalia.
 
4.  I am so proud of my dear friend Kelly
for opening her Etsy shop.
Woot-woot girlfriend!!!
Please check out her post here which will lead you to her Etsy shop.
 
5.  Again, I want to apologize to all of you who have visited
me these past few weeks and I've neglected to
visit you.
The fog from last week is finally lifting and I promise....
PROMISE...
that I will get back into my routine of visiting and commenting.
I appreciate your understanding and your blog love.
Thank you!

Now .... I'm going to sit and take in the beauty of this plant!

  8. I aam gald you have something blooming to give you some cheer. I remember well those long winters. The good thing for us where I live now is that we are not having sweltering humidity and hot temperatures since the cool air does filter down to us.

  11. Wow, everyone's Christmas cactus must have lost their mind! Mine bloomed for the 2nd time in January. The Easter cactus must have felt left out as it sent out 2 blooms at the same time!

    Your cactus is lovely.

  16. We're bracing for that crap (or blessing...) as well - ugh! Your Christmas Cactus is beautiful and bravo on clearing your craft closet - I'm making small progress with clearing and throwing around here - damn stuff is like rabbits - I turn my head and it has multiplied.

  24. Ya vendrá la primavera, acá esperamos el otoño y el frío, los días cortos. Pero no nieva, al menos donde yo vivo.
    Hermoso cactus florido. Es una rebelión al frío!.

  25. I think it has been a very long and depressing winter. Hopefully we all will soon be singing in the sunshine and dipping in the ocean.

    Hugs~

  27. ? Did my comment get there? Something went wrong here (which is not surprising) and now I don't know if my comment reached its destination... Anyway, as I was saying... Horrid weather, beautiful cactus (actually I didn't say that, but it is) and very sorry to hear about Tom and the bunch of doctors. Take care dear, and please don't bother to much about us. We totally understand, so don't feel any obligation. Big hugs to you

    1. ps: I really hope Tom will feel better soon. That's an aweful lot to deal with, as you told us in a previous post.
