Farewell Winter, Hello Whaaa?

Winter?  Whaaaa?

It's 11:00 in the morning on the eighth day of the month of April.

It's 58 degrees.

The wind is howling and it looks like a cold, gray day in January.

Whaaaa????

 
A few days ago, I had the notion to pack away our coats that hang by the door.

Whew!  Thanks to sheer laziness, I'm glad they're still hangin' there.  I need them today.


CountryBoy called a bit ago and said it was cold, windy and snowing at the job. Whaaaaa?

And here I was going to have a big 'ol salad with some shrimp on it for dinner tonight.

Because it's April.

And it was gorgeous yesterday.

And because we like salads in April on gorgeous days.

Sigh.


But, alas, I'm cooking up some pinto beans this morning to put in our chili tonight because now, it's a chili-eatin' kinda day!

In April.  Did I already mention that?

And, by the way, I snapped these photos during yesterday's gorgeous April day.

In reality, I'm trying to enjoy a day even like today because, before I know it, the triple digits will be here.  And, I'm not sure I'm ready for that so bring it on (as long as I can stay inside and out of the wind, ha!).

Till next time,

Happy Valentines Day

Wishing you and yours a
Happy Valentines Day
from the Mohave Desert!


CountryBoy and I will celebrate Valentines Day tomorrow evening after he gets off work by going out to eat.  Since we do special things for each other all throughout the year, we don't make a big deal out of Valentines Day... he bought me some Reese's heart shaped chocolates and I bought him some body spray that he likes. Good, practical (and yes, chocolate is VERY practical!) gifts and a good dinner that I didn't have to cook, woot!

How do you celebrate this day of love?

On another note, I've joined the 1st Annual Valentines Day Boost Your Blog Party!  I'm really excited about this event!  Yes, I'm hoping to gain a few more followers but I'm also looking forward to checking out the other bloggers that have joined up.  I'm planning on spending the majority of my day browsing the other entries.  Fun, fun!

If you have some time, hop on over there yourself and check them out.  You might just find a new, favorite blog!
