Happy Valentine's 2014

It was another snow day here on the hill.  I did have a great visitor.  My son came with a Valentine's card.  He did a few things around the house.  We had a great conversation.  I gave him the latest afghan I had finished.  I understand it is on his chair already.  It warms my heart. 

Hint: the table was cleared off yesterday so this is what has happened since yesterday morning.  I looked at that pile of snow and was thinking that I might never see that deck again.  After my son left, I decided to clear the snow off the chair cushions (closer to the house than this picture shows).   I made a quick trip before I had planned to take off my sneakers.  No coat, hat, gloves or boots.  I was only going to clear some snow and pop back inside.  Yeah right - NOT!  The door locked behind me.  So I was stranded on the deck.  The front door was unlocked.  To get there I had to walk off the deck and around the house.  The snow is about mid thigh on me.  I got quite the snow hike exercise.  I almost fell twice.  It was not fun.  I am so glad I had my sneakers on!  I made it.  I got myself cleaned up and finished the day with some cross stitch.
