Happy Valentines Day

 I couldn't decide which of these cute valentines I liked best so you get all three!




49 years ago in the middle of the night Middle Son was born. It wasn't until the morning that I realized it was Valentines Day. So every year we get to have a special celebration.  It's an interesting coincidence that his own daughter was born on St Patricks Day. 

In the kitchen.... I baked a cherry Clafoutis and 2 Banana loaves one of which went along with DH to Gleaners.

Some Pansies that jumped into my basket while I was shopping.

We're seeing more sunshine this week and I think my Hellebores grew an inch today. I know we could still get frost and even more snow but I hope they'll be okay. They're quite hardy.

Thanks for coming by and thank you for the lovely comments . I'm still having problems commenting on some blogs but I keep trying.  GM

  3. Happy Valentines Day to the two of you. Your chosen cards are so sweet. I like them much better than the modern ones. The banana bread looks delicious. I would love to have some too, maybe I need to get to baking.
    Blessings and hugs,

  7. Happy Valentine's Day, GM. You have lots of reasons to celebrate! My husband's parents were married on Valentine's Day - 70 years ago today, but they are both gone now.
    It was a frosty morning, but so bright and sunny now!
    Those are cute old-fashioned valentine's like I remember getting from school friends.
