Glorious day in this city this weekend so I took some quick pics to take the place of my words. I just love this view of Park Avenue always a favorite of mine, no matter how many times I see it it still always makes me smile. I do miss when this was the Pan Am building though.

I had my first visitor to the birdbath the other day. Too bad the water froze over again overnight. I’ll be so happy when Spring springs for real up our way.

Oh well I hope it’s warming up where you are.

Happy Friday!  I hope you all are doing great at the end of this snowy week for so many for us. Looking at the piled high drifts of snow and feeling the chill that now seems like it will ever go away I just can’t stop my mind from wandering to some warm far away isle.

I hope you enjoy your day and have a few warm day dreams.

Oh and please join me tomorrow for a little celebration!

Hello Monday! So who’s snowbound today raise your hands? I sure am or at least making myself. No way am I driving today.

Here are a few pics of my birdbath at the beginning, during and now the early morning, from the big after Christmas Snowzilla 2010.

I hope you all had a nice Christmas and Santa was good to you. Thanks to all of you for the Blogiversary wishes and all who entered my book giveaway. And thanks to random number generator the big winner is…..

Overnight we had our first snowfall of the season that brought out the plows and gave a covering on the holly tree outside my window. I’m thankful that it wasn’t enough to give a snow day and the twins are off to school today. Though I’m sure they would not say the same.

Have a good one and stay warm where you are.

Jack and I are wishing you a week full of unexpected beauty

and color.

I wonder what he’s thinking? Hmm… maybe about the characters I put on his corner this week? Yeah, I’ve been spending a lot of time in his part of town (at least in my mind I have) or is it a her? Do we know? Something to Google maybe.

Either way today I’m thinking about the conversation a couple of my characters had very close to this lion and all the real life conversations that have happened in the very same spot. If only this lion could talk, oh the stories he would tell.

Hope your week is going well.

It’s another rainy day with a chill in the air and the leaves loosening their hold on the trees. I think I’ll watch the action from here today.

I woke up Friday morning from a terrible dream with the words, “Thank you Lord” spilling from my lips before I was even fully awake. I didn’t know why I was saying thank you until much later in the day when a potential tragedy was averted.

I will be even more thankful when my twins are home (I know my week of freedom will be over, yikes). But I will feel better when I can hold them in my arms for the brief moment that they let me.

Life is fleeting and fragile like the wings of a butterfly but also beautiful and at times surprisingly resilient. It’s something to be cherished and we should be thankful for those we love and those who love us.

Happy Sunday.

Best,

Kwana
