Hi Everyone, I have been awol, with my comments on your wonderful blogs, I'm trying to keep up, but I just want to let you know, I have a few things going on that require me to concentrate on those. I will try to keep up with my DT work, but other things may slide, my apologies.
Other than that, it's my birthday today and I want you all to have a drink or two or even 3? on me! Well, a virtual drink, that way you won't get too drunk! Have a remarkable day and week. I will see you asap.

This was our garden yesterday. It didn't last, but beautiful while it did.
I thought I would show you a few photos taken earlier in February, a touch of Spring.

First of all Happy Birthday Faith, I know like me you are 39 again (and holding). Great photos, we also have snow following a forecast of heavy rain. But the garden is greening up well.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day.

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Faith, I hope you’ve had a lovely day. Thank you for sharing all your lovely photos. xx
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Faith! Your garden looks wonderful! Spring is just around the corner!
ReplyDeleteBelated Happy Birthday Faith. We have really deep snow here, looks pretty but our road is impassable at the moment. Hope you are OK xx
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Faith. Lovely photos of the garden flowers. They make me quite nostalgic. I am happy to now live in a snow-free area though.
ReplyDeleteI quite understand about your blog posting. I have to admit I rarely post the cards I make because I never have time to go around visiting and commenting on the other entries, and that is not fair. So I just stick with my Rudolph Day Christmas cards, and my Friday news blog. Take care. Kate x
Cheers to your birthday, Faith. Wishing you health and happiness and hope you have a great day.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!!
Faithie, wished you HB yesterday on Facebook and so now I'll add a hope that it was a good day. And also that home life is running smoothly. Your garden is a fairy tale, snow or not. Beautiful flowers and greenery. Praying you are busy with good things, XOX

No worries Faith, we all go through times where we have other things going on in our lives that require our focus. It is call.....life! Happy Belated Birthday to you!!!! I'd love to have a drink with you....although I don't drink much, this is the perfect time for maybe a glass of wine. LOL I need to pen a bottle....hold on. Ok, got my glass of wine. Let's celebrate YOU!!! And how fabulous you are! Love your sweet image that you put together. It's about how I feel celebrating your birthday! Loved seeing the yard with some snow, about all we got this winter here at my house and it was gone fast as the snow turned to rain. Very warm winter for us. Love seeing the signs of spring too! Everything was popping up here in Feb too. Way early for us. Always love seeing your beautiful gardens, you have such gorgeous plants and flowers! Lets bring on spring....I think we all are ready for it, even if we've had a warm winter here...I'm just ready for sunshine, warm temps and being outside! Hugs, Brenda
