hi friends,i had a productive weekend, and it was all mostly spent in a little spring cleaning and reorganizing, a tiny bit of spring decorating, and light, fragrant candles in lime and lemon to brighten the place up… and guess what i found? a bloom… but it’s not just any ol’ bloom. it’s a “bloomin’ pin” and i’m giving it way …
Oh baby~baby … it is very c-c-c-cold outside! We haven’t yet dug out from the 17 inches of snow we received these past couple days…. Wowzers. We heard on the weather report last evening that within five miles from Great Falls, they received almost four feet. And temps to go with it; we’re 12 degrees F this morning… and the …
