February

Time to turn the calendar page to a new month. Can you believe it's February! Another month and spring weather will be here.

My Old Farmer's Almanac Calendar shows the beautiful hellebores flowers. I never use these flowers in my garden because as beautiful as they are, they are also very poisonous. Often times, Otis and Riley will nibble on plants in the garden, so this one is off limits for me.






I was at the store today and picked up a new scented candle. This one is called Cranberry Mandarin. It smells so fresh and sweet and the fragrance is all through the house. I like to have candles burning during the cold winter months. A simple pleasure!





Enjoy your day!

Donna,I can't believe it is February already either! I can't wait for Spring! I have 2 pots of hellebores only because Teddy doesn't care about any of the plants I have. I wouldn't have them either if he was interested. Have a great evening!

This year is flying by just like last year. How can we slow it down? Mimi

The candle looks inviting!!! I'll have to pull mine out of the cabinet and light it up...vanilla cookies.
Love the coffee header!!!

Pretty picture on your calendar. We have a rainy, gloomy day here today. A perfect day for burning a sweet smelling candle. Yours sounds very nice.
Happy February.

I like your calendar Donna. I'm signed for the farmer's Almanac newsletter as I like the recipes they send :-)

I like candles also ..your new sounds so good!

I believe the south has had more snow the past two years then we've had! I am not complaining..lol! You will welcome spring earlier than us, however. It's just around the corner!

I have the same espresso coffee pot as you (prior post) Sadly I find I can't drink it anymore after 12 noon or I will be awake all night..and I find decaf espresso is not as good.

Have a good week!

Hugs, Pat

It is true, not all that is beautiful is innocent. A few looks beautiful but can be very dangerous.

Take the tiger lily...it is beautiful but very toxic to animals, esp. cats!

And then there is the colourful octopus...very pretty but very poisonous!
