Hey Valentine


Happy Valentine's Week! We are still enduring unusually cold weather but the red hearts of Valentine's Day help bring some warmth to the season.



The image below is from a sweet book called "The Valentine Cat", written by Clyde Robert Bulla and illustrated by Leonard Weisgard.  It lasted in my shop a week before it sold. If you look closely, the back kitten has a white heart shaped spot on his head. Such a cute book! I hope it makes the new owner very happy.

This time of year I drink hot tea most of the time to warm up. Every now and then though, nothing hits the spot like hot chocolate. Brings back memories of my Mom having it ready for us kids when we came in from playing in the snow!


Here's my own Valentine cat, Guy, enjoying the snow on a slightly warmer winter day! 
Stay safe and warm out there!

Enjoy your week friends, hope you all have a wonderful Valentine's Day!
💕💕 Diane 💕💕

Extreme Weather

Remember the Polar Vortex we had a few years back? Well it has returned!





It's official!!!



Minnesota can now lay claim to some of the most extreme weather in all of the USA! And just to prove it, the temperature is supposed to be 37 degrees on Saturday. It will feel like spring!



It must be bad, even the USPS isn't delivering the mail today. I'm very happy I closed my shop for the week!  Due to projected deteriorating weather conditions, USPS  delivery operations are suspended Wed Jan 30, for the following locations:
 * No. Dakota * So. Dakota * Eastern Mont. * Iowa * Minnesota * Portions of E. Wisconsin, Missouri, Nebraska and Kansas. 

It is the coldest cold I've ever felt. My office is freezing even with the space heater blasting under my desk. Now excuse me while I get a hot cup of tea, a blankie and a cat.

😼☕🐱 Stay safe and warm out there! 😼☕🐱
