~Happy Valentines Day & A Happy Surprize~

I met my Valentine
on Valentines Day
30-some years ago


He was tall
...with red hair

He drove in to my Dad's ranch in a big truck

He was looking for hay

He played the guitar
and sang love songs

Who could resist?
Certainly not I!

Happy Valentines Day
my wonderful man!

I'm a terrible pack-rat

... a collector of too many things...

One of my collections includes

Vintage Childlife Magazines

Any printed before 1930
by Rand McNally & Co.

Here's a little Valentine Wish to each of you


A little Valentines Day Dessert




It was a long and difficult day today

I drove into the drive,
and checked the mailbox...

I found a sweet surprize
from my dear friend Dzintra!

Did she know how I love bees?

I'm not sure I've ever told her how I love them,

but there in my mailbox was this sweet surprize!

A small notebook
With a BEE on it!


Though I'm not a Bee-Keeper (Yet)...


I collect vintage Bee publications


I'm studying how to keep Bees...

I try to save them,
if I see them floundering on the beach

I've never once been stung by one,
though I handle them all the time.

I work among them in my garden
I love to hear their merry humming


I plant flowers that they love,
to thank them for their hard work


Without them, humans could not exist


~Thank you Dzintra~
For the sweet gift!
You made me smile,
and you made my day!


I plan to spend my Valentine's Day
with my Valentine man!

How about you...
Do you have a Valentine?

  3. We plan on spending the day watching movies and just relaxing together.

    That gift was so nice and lovely from your friend.

    The couple in the picture, is that you and hubby? Lovely picture.

    Thanks for the comments about my basket. I too have so many projects half done and plan to finish more this year.

  4. How romantic is that?! We don't really celebrate Valentine's Day - such a day should be celebrated every day. No plans, perhaps watch "Gone with the Wind". :)
    Love your collections!
    HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

  7. My first love drove a big old dirty green pick up truck. What is it about trucks and great guys? Is it the cowboy mystique, even though most are not cowboys?

    lovely post...now buzz on out to the garden :-0
