yesterday's thing-a-day : Day 13 : chocolates!

I didn't post my thing-a-day for yesterday yet, so I'll do that now and later I'll post my photo for today (once I take it!).

Yesterday my sweet Valentine brought home chocolates for me from my favorite shop. God, these things are good! And they're so pretty..

Hope you're all having a lovely Valentine's Day!

day 10 : thawing

We had record highs today in Michigan. There are puddles and little streams everywhere... the massive amount of snow we had is rapidly disappearing. I love it! I'm hoping my garden soil will be nice and workable really early this year. We won't be getting any more snow, right? ha! :)
