Friday was a perfect 80° day. Today, Saturday, it will be 70°. Sunday it will be 75°. Take your pick, which is your favorite? In the sun yesterday, it felt like 90°. I was in the shade with a light breeze for 2 hours talking on the phone to my daughter and then I was in the sun watering and talking to plants for about 45 minutes. It is what I consider a perfect day!
These two pictures were taken about a minute apart. Mr. Cardinal and Mrs. Cardinal were both visiting our feeder. Love birds are in the air!
I have about 3, maybe more, Strawberry plants that have been under our plastic "greenhouse". Yes, I ate all 4 delicious, juicy strawberries! There are buds on all the strawberry plants and even newly forming strawberries.
I was so surprised when our plants were uncovered! Look at the beautiful colors! Happy plants! Happy ME! Rbt is happy I don't have to buy too many new plants! And yet, he knows I will.
After all, these hanging baskets have been hanging there for many months. They are not real plants. So they look good all year round in the rain, sun, wind and freeze!
Took this from the inside looking out. Blinding and frozen solid! We are up to 29° and while we might get above freezing tomorrow we have 7-10 more nights below freezing with a couple of nights just above to give us hope. Clear skies mean we will be back down to around 15° tonight.
The traveling side of the family! They were in Seattle for 2 weeks during Christmas break.
They left DFW on a delayed flight Friday evening just before flights started getting cancelled. They had a long enough layover in Madrid, that they got to eat and site see before their next flight took off.
They will be in Tel Aviv, Israel until the end of the week. Here they are enjoying ice cream, walking the beach, riding scooters, and enjoying much warmer temperatures; at least until they get back to DFW. My son is in his yearly meetings as his company is based in Israel.
And update on Reba. The remedies we are giving her are helping her! She has been out the doggie door and back in on her own several times since 5:30 this morning. She is drinking water but I haven't seen her eat dog food as it is always down for our 3 and both grand dogs. Thank you for your love!
Our oldest dog is failing but trying to hang on. It is breaking my heart. She has had a wonderful and happy life with us for about 13 years. She can't see much at all and is very hard of hearing but she is happy.
When she is awake and wandering, we try to keep an eye on her so she doesn't go out the doggie door and stay for too long. We started this morning at 13 and have warmed to 18. We have solid ice, with a layer of frozen sleet, and snow flurries flying through the air like Fairy lights, Lightning bugs, or floaters in your eyes. hehehe
We are blessed with electricity and lots of food to eat! We started at 13° this moring and have warmed to 18° today. Tomorrow will be even colder and hopefull the worst day. All of you stay safe and warm! Blessings & Hugs! Pam
May your Friday be a wonderful day and the beginning of a weekend of kindness.
I hope those of you that are in the Storm's way have already bought what you need to survive. Remember to be kind.
Don't cut each other off in traffic even if you are in a hurry. Be nice, slow down, and don't be the cause of a wreck.
It is going to be brutal out there with ice forming on trees and power lines and VERY cold temperatures.
If you are safe and warm share your angels with someone in need. Or thank Jesus that someone shared their angel with you.
God has a plan and He is right there beside you. Share your kindness and love so others know this storm will pass in a week or two. Blessings & Hugs! Pam
