We have had a rather mild winter so far and it's showing.
I was amazed to see this...
I knew they were coming up but was surprised to see a bud!
In February.
Taken through the laundry room window...
what in the world, there's more ready to bloom!!
I am blown away.
Never had then bloom so early.
Not a good picture..
this tree is weeks early too.
And then we had ice falling from the sky for a short time just before noon.
Tomorrow it's to be 70.
And Saturday 39 for the high.
This is the craziest weather!!
My spring wreathes are getting hung tomorrow..
in February!
What I've been up to...
Ellen and I attended a birthday party for her friend Bri.
We had the best time!
Best friends!
We will be together again this Saturday
to see Little Women at Lancaster Bible College.
Ellen also attended Nite to Shine on Feb. 10.
The last two years were virtual (due to the pandemic)
but this year was in person.
We had fun shopping for her dress with some of her friends and moms.
It fit her so well and was on a wonderful sale.
She also needed dress shoes which can be a challenge to find.
Her feet are two different sizes. (two pairs to make one)
She needs a strap due to the shape of her right foot
plus she doesn't have full feeling in that foot.
Without the strap, it wouldn't stay on.
We went shopping at the mall to 3 stores...
the last store had just what she was looking for
and they were on a wonderful sale!
Soooo thankful!
Back to Nite to Shine...
each guest is assigned a buddy for the night.
Ellen never knows who it will be
and didn't know the person assigned to her at the two previous times she attended.
This year I asked Mary, Ellen's staff person with LLESS,
if she would like to be Ellen's buddy...
she was thrilled to be!
We decided to keep it as a surprise for Ellen.
Ellen was so surprised and so happy to see Mary waiting for her at the table!

Bunny trail...
right now I am hearing a fox in the woods SCREAMING!
Have you ever heard a fox?
It is the worst sound...and it's really going at it.
Ok, back to regular programming =)
We watched the Super Bowl at our daughter's home,
Marcy and Scott and family.
Had wonderful food, very important!
Most of the bunch are Eagles fans so they were disappointed in the outcome.
I had a colonoscopy. My third one.
The prep is so hard for me.
I changed it up each time and will do it differently again next time.
UGH!
Two polyps were removed, biopsy came beck negative,
procedure again in five years.
yippee.
I treated myself to this yesterday...
Yum!!
The only reason I will go to Mc D's.
And we had bluebirds checking out our house this week...
This makes me so happy!
Happy Spring (in February 😊)!
