Oh dear!  Wishing you a speedy recovery Chevyboy!!  That is what scares me the most about all the ice around my house!!

Chevy, healing, peaceful thoughts and prayers!

RhodyMMM

Chevy, wishing you all the best! That's all you need right now!

This is not an "artsy picture," but it is a picture of the valentine that I got yesterday when I went for my Taxol #10. Made by kids at a local elementary school.....Happy belated Valentine's Day to all you Cancer Warriors out there!

Ruth, Is that palm as tall as it looks? A coconut falling out of that could really hurt someone!

ruthbru

Yes, I am standing right under it. Luckily I didn't get bonked!

It's pouring here so it's nice to remember this double rainbow.

This is where I want to be.......my shore house, with a nice drink beside the pool, in the sun......lol

Oh Ducky, that is how my back deck looks.

I want to jump in that pool right now. 

They are calling for several more inches of that white crap and I cannot remember the last time the temperature was above 30F

However, forecasters are calling for a warm up by weeks end........ let's hope 

Ty all for sharing such beautiful photos

Sand.......so true.......Pa. has really gotten killed.........never remember weather like this.....yes we had more snow at times, but it was spread out......maybe 24...30...at one time, but then it was over.......this is every other day, every week, and not small amounts.......so tired of it.

Yes, can't wait to go in the pool......said I will never complain about the heat again.......this has been brutal.............

sandpiper1

I have never complained of the heat! I love the sun and love to sweat. Even Lake Erie is looking good to me. I cannot wait to wear my flip flops

duckyb1

Me too Piper........I especially love the ocean, even though I have a pool.........we go to the beach early, and when the crowds come we go home to the pool.........the good life.........

Wow ladies, these photos are spectacular!  It must be nice to live/vacat in such beautiful places.

Ruth, it's a heart!  The clouds I mean.

Chartruse......My husband was in the Army.  He was stationed in Yakima, Wa., so we weere married, and I went out there...........our Apt.....was up the road from the main Highway to Mt. Rainier......the area is gorgerous......probably the happiest I ever was, and not because I was newly married, but because the place was just a Happy Place..........would have stayed had I not had my Mother back here.......we planned on one day going back..........he died at 57 from Pancreatic cancer, 1 year away from retiring............was not to be........
