Thanks for the hug, friend. It's going to be a beautiful day! I am going to say this in a whisper - don't want our dear snowed-in friends back east to hear - < whisper>It's going to be 75 degrees here today!< /whisper>. ;-)

What's the weather like in your neck of the woods?

[yorkie]

JC, those pictures of the albino deer are incredible! Thank you (and your son) for sharing them with us.

[Billie]

Just a quick post - will be back this afternoon sometime, but had to comment on your opening! Beautiful! The thing that strikes me most is how similar the colors (and sorta fhe “feel”) that you used are to the ones I used yesterday - and it wasn’t even planned!

[Mama_Bear]

....and it wasn’t even planned!

Nope, is sure wasn't. Thanks, Billie. :-)

I need to get out of here too. Have a lunch appointment and some shopping to do. Later, friend!

[yorkie]

Thank you Amy and Billie. That is such a sweet picture and haunting poem. Hope you ladies are having a great day!

***”I think I will take sunny California”***

California Joy (2005)

Golden rays of sunny California,
beaming lights of supernal joy.
Not just material rays of heat and photon,
but beams beyond time and space.
Gorgeous yogi-trees of tall welcoming pine,
sumptuous views of peaceful panoramas.
High Sierra peaks soaring above the scene,
far above the traffic jams of confusion.
Not a place solely on a map,
but at least half-located just in your heart.
A good old-fashioned California yogi-stop,
with a bunch of inner gold-miners set up camp.
He said He died for sunny grand ol` India,
took that thought with the last breath.
But give me my sun-drenched, samadhi-soaked
California Joy when I go.
Give me more joy, more joy, more California Joy.

Yikes!

HAPPY WEDNESDAY!

When

By Dorothy Aldis

In February there are days,
Blue, and nearly warm,
When horses switch their tails and ducks
Go quacking through the farm.
When everything turns round to full
The sun upon its back -
When winter lifts a little bit
And spring peeks through the crack.

........"< whisper>It's going to be 75 degrees here today!< /whisper>. ;-)"...........

I HEARD THAT!!!!!! LOL!

[Lady Jag]

Morning all and good afternoon to the rest!

[JustAmy]

Cute. Thanks, Yorkie.

I enjoy finding and posting graphics with each reply but I have a sinking feeling that today will be another day of playing catch up.



Hope your day is Warm and Fuzzy!

[JustAmy]

Good Afternoon, LadyJag.
If I lived where you do, I would spend the day in bed too. :)

Hope you are staying Warm and Fuzzy on this WF Wednesday!

[Pippin]

GOOD AFTERNOON!!!!!

[yorkie]

Hi, Pippin!
It's nice to finally meet you!

[Lady Jag]

Our biggest snow hit was early February, 1978, when we got nearly 4' of snow within 24 hours.

I think it was 43" and it was hard to get out of the house.

[Lady Jag]

It's morning SOMEWHERE!!!!

[JustAmy]

"Thank you Amy and Billie MamaBear."

Lori made today's Opener with Poem. ;^ )

You scared me .... I went back to check whom I had credited for today's Graphic.

MamaBear, Billie and I thank you. They provide us with beautiful graphics.

[Lady Jag]

That kitten is adorable!

For added coziness I added a quilt to the waterbed and did not want get out of it today.

[JustAmy]

Thank you, Billie.

I think you were both thinking end of winter with spring on the horizon. :^ )
