A Dreary Day in the Desert

It's a very cold day here in the Idaho desert. I took hubby in early to leave his truck for a lube and oil at our mechanic's shop, then went back to pick it up and the streets are slick with ice from the rain yesterday. I was going to have lunch with a friend today at a new French cafe downtown but it wasn't opened for lunch in the winter except on Fridays. We had to go to another restaurant and it was delightful to spend a couple of hours with a friend who is just a few years older than my granddaughter, who is 32. We just seem to connect and that's what I'm telling you chicks: Old women can be fun, charming, humorous, silly and a whole lot of giggling went on!

But for now just feast your eyes on these little gems of photos. I have plucked many off the internet to show you so they'll be smaller than my usual. I really like large photos to show you. I hate the tiny ones some bloggers post. I want to see them large! But nothing to be done about these. They're lovely and I'm in a hurry so I won't leave much commenting, just let you look at the eye candy and swoon.




I will be doing something similar to my patio in a few months though. I love this type of decor on a patio.

  1. I love the pink bed frame and the bedspread. It is so pretty!!!!!! The weather is very strange here in Michigan. It snowed friday night/saturday morning then monday it poured rain so the snow is gone but at night the roads are rather icy. However, I will admit to liking the about 40 degrees weather for winter. I freeze so easy that this is a nice change!

    Thank you for correcting my silly word mistake on my "boys post" -- so glad you knew what I meant. I just get to writing so fast I have brain cramps you know!
    Have a gorgeous weekend!
