A Belated Valentine

I know , i know , it is four days past Valentine's Day but i am a hopeless romantic and since i have had a miserable sinus condition on THE day ( as well as my birthday which was and is , unfortunately always the day after - i didn't get to celebrate. Not really.
We also got clobbered with one hell of an ice storm this week and have been 'iced' in and unable to leave the house.
The one fun thing i did do was to bake a Red Velvet Cake with N. , my friend from home (she baked hers there and i baked my version here , both of which will be featured in Sunday Dinner this week ). Baking is always a good answer to the bad weather / under the weather blues . At least for me !

I dressed my little cherub all in red for the holiday gave him a classic Winnie the Pooh for his valentine . He already has Tigger. Now he needs Piglet , Eeyore , Kanga, Roo & Christopher Robin. I have started reading the Pooh series to him and he seems to really enjoy it , listening intently , giggling and helping to turn the pages.
I still love Winnie the Pooh and Beatrix Potter and Wind in the Willows. I must have some Brit in me because i love English humor, as well. I hope Mr. Buggles enjoys them as much as i did growing up.

Well , it is snowing again. Just a squall but enough to make it feel like the dead of winter, which i guess it is. I was halfway to Spring in my mind so it makes it hard to get excited about this blustery weather. I am making soup for dinner and going to bed early. The only thing to do in this weather is hibernate.

Bug is fast asleep ( not in his crib) with Winnie ,Tigger & Lula and i am not far behind.......
