I Like Thursday #490 children's valentine cards

 

Ahhhh February 

winter gave us a pass this year. Pretty much temps mid 60's plus intense sun at high altitudes make it warmer during the days.... I start with a photo of my front porch (alas no snow on it) 

I love photography and have continued to try art photos this week along my walks

many are brought to you by the color gray

insects are coming out already, hello miss Ladybug

the road is winding
dropped bandaids won't help this road crack, sad to say
beloved donkeys taking advantage of another warm day


these two rode by in the nature preserve while we were there... 
beautiful scene as we walked the nature preserve, with these folks and gorgeous horses
icy creek view along the golf course from when we had 3 days of cold

this little fellow scampered right past us with no nod at all

this tree is trying to escape the fence... 
while this one won't be escaping much, wonder what happened? 
ouch

gray clouds look heavy, and the mountains have no snow

our conversation starter this week is

"remember in elementary school, exchanging Valentines with classmates, did you? It was a big deal, which  tiny card to give to which child. We had to give everyone one... we decorated the box too. 

remember those little cards and the tiny envelopes? 

I would pick the ones to give from the 5 & dime.... tear them apart, sign them, put them in the little envelop and put my classmate's name on it. In class the next day we were called up one at a time to put the cards in the boxes each kid made. It was so fun to go thru them when you got home! 

no surprise, I always loved whimsy!


That was in Tampa.... did you also do it in your area? 

A happy moment was connecting with one of the I Like people, Angela, via FT.... she's a real kindred spirit to me and it meant so much to chat with her and see her studio. Thank you my friend! 



Time and Acceptance are the biggest gifts one can share

in these unhappy times I have to watch fun videos... to remind me one day I'll have a dog again

happy? the basics

I'm looking forward to the start of the Olympics... ice skating and curling, opening ceremonies

Might watch the puppy bowl, but why run it during the olympics? 

trying to keep up with my sewing challenges... from this week


please visit these folk to see their likes, and if they gave out kid valentines too 

let me know if you wrote a post to be included... I'll add in your link!
