Welcome February!

February is my favorite month!

Valentine's Day is my favorite holiday!

It's all about love, pink, red, flowers, and chocolate.  My favorite things!

Yesterday was a Bonus Day.

To me, any month that has 31 days is a Bonus Month and I call the 31st my Bonus Day.
I always try to make my Bonus Days special.

Here's how I spent my January Bonus Day.

I started it out by dressing in my cheeriest pink sweater set.

You can't help being happy any day that you wear pink!

Try it!

After getting my household chores done, taking a walk, and having lunch, I went to kindergarten.

I hadn't been to the class in a couple of weeks and was surrounded by 16 precious little ones and received many, many hugs.

They make me feel so loved.

After coming home, and before having to cook supper,

I spent a little restful time in my front porch rocker with some reading material;

our little town's weekly newspaper, a new seed catalog and a good book.

I've noticed lately that I get hungry every time I open up my book to read.

I think I need to get a different book mark.

While outside, I also enjoyed the few spots of bright color in my otherwise brown surroundings.

  I then reluctantly came in and started supper; Sweet Potato Chowder and buttermilk biscuits.

We were happily surprised with a guest for supper; youngest son's girlfriend joined the four of us.

A meal is always better when shared with others.

After our meal there was still a little bit of sunshine left for a walk with sweet hubby.

A day surrounded by love.
My favorite kind of Bonus Day!
