Feb 14th was the feast day of St. Valentine. We “celebrated” by having a special dinner and putting out a few special decorations.
I made a pretty little garland from some glitter covered cardboard hearts and some pink ribbon. I bought the hearts at the dollar store for…$1 (duh) and I had the ribbon already. So a lovely little decoration for cheap!
For dinner, we had a heart-shaped meatlaof, mashed potatoes and broccoli.
John and I made Valentine cards for Daddy too.
I am wishing like crazy for Spring! A bunch of the blogs I read are posting pictures of pretty spring bulbs blooming. There are even discussions of gardens already. We’re like 3 months away from gardening time. And spring bulbs are at least 3+ weeks away. Late February and March always finds me pinning for color and vegetation.
