Hi, GeeBee - glad you’re enjoying the love this week. :) Great picture of those Mallard Ducks that you took! They do look like they’re in love!

You’re very welcome, Conor!

Billie, I have always loved that song. Very romantic...

It is very romantic. Sigh. I have four of John Gary's beautiful songs on my pc and uploaded. Just love to listen to them. :)

My sister in law just called and said they broke in with local news that we are in a tornado watch for our area. I haven’t found anything about it yet. Its terribly windy now and dreary looking! I’m skeered....lol...

[Billie]

I posted this a couple of weeks or so ago, but it just fits too well today, so am reposting it for Warm Fuzzy Love Day. :)

Happy 6th Freeper Anniversary

The pigs are just absolutely adorable! And nothing’s more appropriate than “My Funny Valentine”... Thanks much!

LOL! Aren't they cuties! I told Amy when I sent her the link to "My Funny Valentine" by Billie Holiday (with Louie Armstrong... YES!) that I wasn't familiar with her voice but it was strangely 'appropriate' for those silly pigs.

[Billie]

Love the penguin graphic - so simple, but so striking!

[jaycee]

No one will admit that pigs are cute but I think they are cute as can be!

Someone sent me the cutest video about the tiniest pig (black) and the lady had it on a leash walking it to the ocean. It was darling. I know you can’t accept those things or I would have sent it.

Hi, Meg.
Are you feeling better?

Thank you for the romantic graphic and the YouTube link.

Hope you are enjoying Love Week.

[Billie]

Sweet, sweet Koala Bear!

[Billie]

Goodness! LOTS of Romantic Music! Thank you for adding the song titles & artists. :)

[Billie]

Awwwww, I love that sweet little bluebird valentine!

[jaycee]

Hope you can listen to some of them. I know you have problems with Youtube some.

How Do I Love Thee? (Sonnet 43)
by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
I love thee to the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

[jaycee]

One of the most beautiful love poems ever written, don’t you think?

[Billie]

Tornado Season has arrived. :( A small town in southern Oklahoma was hit HARD last night I heard on the news this morning - 8 deaths at the time, and still searching the rubble of a mobile home park for any others who may be injured or dead. :(

Do you get a tornado 'watch' very often? The 'watches' don't scare me so much, except that the wind and hail is pretty destructive, even without a full blown tornado. :(

Hope the watch has expired or will expire shortly with no incidents!

[Billie]

Thanks, Meg. Glad you liked our "Funny Valentine" Pigs this morning. :)

Wish you would get to feeling well again soon.

[Billie]

Thanks, Jaycee. I bet the little tiny black pig video was cute.
