I know once we get through February the sun starts to shift, and I get super excited for spring....but we have a long way to go, sigh. I do take advantage of any nice afternoon to enjoy a little sunshine, but I bundle up!Debbie - Mountain Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18401931842031353732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6737531804022285705.post-64312359581056600462021-02-04T14:25:51.726-05:002021-02-04T14:25:51.726-05:00Good to see a post from you!

Today is a day to certainly appreciate my cozy home as the snow just keeps falling....and falling....and falling.

So glad you are well and hanging in there. Molly looks a comfort. And how inviting it is to see all your indoor plants just growing like crazy at the windows. Your dining area is really lovely. It is nice that January is just about over and let's get February past, too. All your seedlings will do wonders on your deck again this year. It was delightful to see your "flowering" post last summer.

I would think there are fewer weddings and so a bit less work, but it sounds like just the opposite! Is your resort still booking weddings?<br />I remember some of your blogs when you would do a ton of work before leaving the house and just yearning to stay home. I totally related. I too work from home and love it.<br />Keep your eye on the prize:Spring! <br />In the meantime enjoy that wood burning fireplace.Susan~aredheadonthegohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07939067358467559651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6737531804022285705.post-61061998329870597172021-01-28T10:37:53.507-05:002021-01-28T10:37:53.507-05:00Hi Rita - I think it will be hard after all this t...Hi Rita - I think it will be hard after all this time of avoiding people and social distancing to go back to a 'normal' way of life - I feel as if this is almost ingrained in me new!

Our nephew and his wife had a drive in wedding at their church. We could see it on the screen and hear it on the station they told us to listen in on. They came around to the cars and served munchies. I got my first covid shot but having a little reaction from it so hope the 2nd one is not worse. My friend has a little dog that looks like your "lovebug".

The folks that are on the front line in the resort are under serious stress this year, trying to get through the season safely. What a year it's been! I'm looking forward to spring also, but I also have to be realistic....it was still snowing in late May last year! But I'll take those odd nice warm days that pop up as we get closer and enjoy every second of them. They aren't coming this week, that's for sure - we are heading into an arctic blast of brutally cold weather - brrrrrr!
