♡Happy February!

'Tis now February.  The Wheel of The Year turns.  
Warm-ish (44 degrees) and rainy, in my neck of the woods.  
Snow cover slowly receding.   
.♡.
Not very pretty.  Oh well, we can't always pick our outer-landscape.
But we can pick our inner-landscape!!!
.♡. 
 




We can choose our outlook on the day.  I know I have lots more to read in my latest book.  ("A Discovery of Witches")  And it's waiting for me to pick it up again.  :-) That's nicer than the view, out my window.  
.♡.
I can again immerse myself in a unique and very different atmosphere.  Totally foreign to my usual daily experiences.  Delightful...!
.♡.
But first...! 
.♡. 
Breakfast...! 
.♡.
Plus a few other duties...  :-)


♡.♡.♡.♡.



Do you have old computers, cluttering up your cellar or shop or someplace?  Do you  not want to just donate an old computer, or take it to a dump....?  For fear of things being stolen off of your Hard Drive?   If so, and you'd like some info about wiping-them-clean....  Please go to this post, and read the 2nd comment too.

Above...  What is she scolding????  Since she's perched up on a chair, it must be something she doesn't want to interact with.  Perhaps she is shooing a mouse away...?  :-)
.♡.
Her body language is good, for shooing.  But being perched up on the chair, kind of takes away from her ferocity.  -giggles-

I did pop over and read the entire post, very entertaining and informative and a lot of good advice. i knew what ours looked like because hubby had to put a part in it. but we have never smashed a hard drive, we wipe it and give it to our neighbor who uses them for different things

We are enjoying our sweet visit here today. Love all the vintage illustrations and yes, your valentine header is a keeper!

Well, gosh. The calendar changed, but it forgot to tell the weather, which is just as disgusting as it was in January.

We're going into the 50's here. I'm looking forward to going home today, lighting a few white candles, and enjoying my evening.

We are having a spring like day here in MD.
I thought a mouse too!

Stella said...

Love all your black and white. It has to be a mouse or perhaps a dog with muddy paws and she is wearing her best Sunday dress?

Hello
Hope you're enjoying Discovery of Witches? I thought Candor was quite a nice easy read - bit Stepford Wives - did you think so?? You'll have to give me a good book recommendation - one of your favourites. I love book recommendations!
Lynn :D

Hi Auntie - I've been out and about! Love your Valentine's theme going on here - I know you love Valenties... And I love the "shear n schnitte" or however it's spelt. You always do have the bestest pictures.

Well, here today it was 75 degrees and balmy. We really have not had any cold weather this winter yet. I hope we get some - usually hits in February so maybe soon.... Bye!

We can pick our inner landscape: nothing truer. Thank you!
