Finally, I'm seeing patches of actual ground after more than two months of snow cover.
We are expecting dropping back down into the 30s for highs, at least we aren't seeing any more snow in the near future.

What a cute picture! Thanks, LJ! I had a yorkie mix, before Lindy, and she lived to be 16. Smartest dog I ever had. There should be a song, “There’s Just Sumpthin’ ‘Bout Yorkies”.........

Yorkies are living proof that the soul is not contained within the body’s limits because theirs must be big as a bus.

In honor of Love Week, here is a poem of secret loves.

One face looks out from all his canvases,
One selfsame figure sits or walks or leans:
We found her hidden just behind those screens,
That mirror gave back all her loveliness.
A queen in opal or in ruby dress,
A nameless girl in freshest summer-greens,
A saint, an angel -- every canvas means
The same one meaning, neither more nor less.
He feeds upon her face by day and night,
And she with true kind eyes looks back on him,
Fair as the moon and joyful as the light:
Not wan with waiting, not with sorrow dim;
Not as she is, but was when hope shone bright;
Not as she is, but as she fills his dream.
Christina Georgina Rossetti
