another one is on my Family room glass table
I love Valentines day, the focus on love the way it should be. Connections not divisions, acceptance not judgement. Here is a lovely song
another song, from Kiss me Kate, I was in the chorus in a production of this play, a singer/dancer and loved this song. It's not an easy one for my alto voice but I find myself singing it often
I love being in my small studio space making things, and I like the things finished! (not everyone likes to finish things for some reason) This week I finished the project quilting prompted piece

Snow
there's not much and it often melts with the first (high desert) sun but we've had several overnight snows this week. It's cold, 1 deg F when we went to bed. I like cold, I like wearing layers and sweaters unlike other people around us in Colorado who wear winter shorts all the time. I have LOVED my cozy leggings by cuddle duds like I'm wrapped up in the softest blankie.
they say soft things are soothing when you're anxious. I think it's true and why babies pet their blankies.
when I was a child we had blankets with satin bindings, and I remember rubbing that satin at night.
Fine dining
I feel rich, we have fresh grapes that are sweet and juicy, fresh cherries, and fresh citrus that also is juicy not dried out!
we tried a gluten free puff pastry (it's what the store had) to make caramelized onion appetizers but it's a fail.
we got a new coffee maker
and so far we like the taste of our coffee just in time for it to skyrocket in price because of our new regime's tariffs. The idea is the water must be really hot to truly make a good cup of coffee. I like it strong with a good amount of milk. It's good to really feel awake again!
we did something we don't usually do, we bought collard greens and cooked them. We only do that at new years usually. We LOVE them with some pepper vinegar so why not all year?
I read somewhere that spinach helps you regrow hair, and I lost a lot with that virus that sapped me.
just because
I've been visiting Karen for years, and she always provides so much cozy beauty in her cottage. This post is full of love, red, hearts, heartwarming pictures... go see

On Speaking French
I'm working my way thru Transparent languages offered through our library.
Je suis perdu ( I am lost) I also get their Italian word a day notices because I really want to speak Italian but we are considering a move to France first.

our prompt: What is something you have always wanted to try but haven’t yet?
I'd like to return to some crafts like rug hooking with wool strips. I'd like to write a novel and started one but my pain stops concentration. I want to do some screen printing with my kit, and learn bead loom weaving.
I'd like to have a farm with miniature donkeys, miniature goats, miniature cows and a standard poodle.
I'd love to stop my medical phobias but that's just practical not a desire really
Milo's memories
