You Smell Good

 We had our first snowfall last week,

and I only got a couple pics of it because it was a light snow, but it's always so pretty to see the neighborhood dressed in white.  And a hush occurs every time with the first snow.

Jess gave her brother a gift of imported sea salt and other seasonings because she knows he enjoys cooking.  A plate of ham and Havarti cheese, apples, barbecue rib eye steak, and shrimp with sea salt.

I drove through the coffee shop with my son to get a winter coffee.  He got the black forest mocha, and I ordered the peppermint mocha.  They have such a delightful assortment of specialty coffees that they whip up for every season.

I was shopping one day for Valentine stuff, and when I'm shopping, all my attention goes directly to that.  I asked the cashier for the price of an item, and while she was checking, a distinguished man stood next to me.  I was blocking the isle and said, "oh, go ahead," and he replied, "I'm in no hurry."  As he passed, he said, "You smell good, by the way."  I replied, "me?" (wasn't sure who he was talking to).  He responded, "yea, when I walked past you I got a whiff."  I said, "Oh, thank you."  I thought it was funny because I only use soap and water, I don't wear perfume.  And he probably smelled all the Valentine goodies I was carrying.  I love to get little things for the kids on this special day.  And sometimes for the adults....Jess loves the Sloth.  ; )

Francesca had a Heritage Day at school, and she chose the heritage that came from her grandma, coming all the way from Greece.  She talked a little bit about her heritage, and all the students sang a wonderful song together.

Remember the Panettone that I love during the holidays?  Well, there were a few left at the grocery store, half off.  I like the original one the best, but this one had chocolate inside, and was really good.

A pretty pink sunrise through the tall pines over the weekend.

I wanted to see how filled up the creek was since the rains, so I headed over there one day.  The water is twice as high than it normally is compared to the last few years.  There's three sections brimming with water.

After the snow, we got sunshine, and it has stayed every since. 🌞 Our mountain looks so pretty.

Well, I'm just trying to stay warm here - it's in the 20's early mornings, but then warms up during the day.  I made some blueberry bread and having lots of tea. ☕

I wish you a wonderful week. 🌹🌹🌹
