What snow looks like

IN case you have forgotten what snow looks like.  These are my Colorado grand kids on Monday. we have not had more than 2 inches at one time.  Actually 2 times but it melted the same day.  I hear little hints of a storm coming next week.  I like snow.  It is my reward for the really hot humid days of summer.
peaking of the weather.  I am somewhere under it.  Swollen glands and sore throat.  It is my time of year when I usually get something.  Trying to not let it hold me back but it is.  Blood tests were okay but I don't think they did the thyroid or CBC.  That's what I needed to see.  There is a doll auction tomorrow, so we will see if  I bounce back in time.  My doll friend is in Germany visiting her daughter so she won't be there. She is going to being me something back from the flea market.  Exciting.
There is so much sadness right now.  Family and friends fighting cancer.  Close friends loosing their parents.  I will try to post three things that make me happy for this month of hearts.

See that bit of sunshine.  It is only 30 out but the sunshine is nice.

New visitors today.  The other day there was a blue heron.  The faithful couple of ducks have been in and out since the pond thawed a little.  These geese honked so loud when I went out with the dogs.  I think they were telling us to keep their distance. 

 

I won a little auction on the Shirley facebook page.  It was this robe.  Someone had given  the administrator 6 of these robes.  That she in turn had a drawing for.   And I was one of the lucky ones.  I guess the person that donated them used to work in a Shirley Temple doll hospital.  They would send the "well" Shirleys back in these robes.  I think this robe looks perfect on my 50's vinyl doll that already has bed head.  These are my favorite shirleys because they look the most like her.

Well that's it for today.  I had to get the beast out for this post.  The beast that I dropped on my feet.  I can't figure out how to post pictures from my mini I pad.
