Warm Wednesday

Srsly…WHAT did the East-Southeast part of the U.S. do to anger the weather gods???

I’d like to know so that we, in the West, do NOT do the same thing.

YIKES. (And good thoughts and prayers for all dealing with the ice and cold and power outages, etc.)

Anyway.

Here, in Northwest, Montana…after a couple of weeks of normal 20’s and then a week of deep freeze below zero overnight and single digits daytime…we suddenly sprang to pre-Spring-like conditions and hit 47F – yup… 47F ABOVE zero!

In February!!!

AND with sunny skies and warm Southwest breezes.

It felt positively balmy … in “all is relative” world :) !

Sunshine and warm temperatures were enjoyed by all.

And later…

The setting sun lit the trees. Dark clouds over the mountains mingled with blue sky and fluffy white clouds.

It was a beautiful and warm Wednesday.

Terrific Tuesday

My Tuesday started with this:

Almond milk French toast made with my very own Brioche bread and stuffed with a goat cheese-powdered sugar-dark chocolate chip (goat cheese riff on cannoli filling) filling. I didn’t actually stuff…I made 4 pieces of Almond Milk Brioche French Toast and put the filling between. And then… and THEN drizzled a warm maple syrup and red raspberry topping.

And there was bacon.

Tuesday started deliciously!

Several weeks ago, I had a kind of terrible Tuesday. It was hardly terrible so much as disappointing. And in spite of the fact that I knew things had really worked out for the best, there were parts that were just enough to reduce me – albeit unreasonably – to tears. Rats.

BUT.

Out in the cosmos, the call was heard.

And responded to.

Out of the blue, I received this email:


I was catching up on your blog which I still love, and went to the archives to see the early stuff. I came across this verse that you posted and thought I would do it in calligraphy for you.

From Hilary ( Hilary’s Etsy Shop)

The verse is a much loved verse that I often use as a prayer if I have a worry about one of the pets. And I pray it at the loss of one of them. It has so often been a great comfort to me.

God, our good, heavenly and dear Father, works in mysterious and wonderful ways.

Terrific Tuesday.

Who needs cat toys ???

A video short…it makes me laugh out loud every time I watch it.

And you knew this was coming, right ?

Hmmm…

Good thing I have a spare within reach.

Later…

We stayed above zero last night (Saturday night) – and both yesterday and today broke double digits before noon.

Auggie has been out whenever he’s asked to go out which makes things easier on the entire household.

That face … and that tail!!
