"Winter" more than "Whispered" upon us!

I mentioned it might snow? Oh yes! It did..it was beautiful!! We had a day of some "whispers" of snow...silently falling yet we also had snow billowing in upon us! It was quite a wonderful "show of nature"!! The "authorities" said it was the worst snow storm in Northern Arizona...I don't know about that...but it was wonderful if you could stay home and relish the show...such as we did!

I leave you with some pictures that "whisper" the spendor of a nice snow storm!


May you all have a wonderful "Valentine's Day" with a "Whisper of the Breeze" upon you and your loved ones!

The Whispering Breeze of Spring!

Although it is still "winter" in Northern Arizona, with snow forecast for the weekend, I do have a hint of "spring" in my home! A very dear friend gave me this beautiful vase of tulip bulbs. As you can see in the first picture, there is only one open, yet within 3 days...all 14 of the bulbs have opened up!




I have never grown tulips, and have fallen in love with this flower! They have a beautiful fresh smell that makes me feel as if I've stepped outside in a spring morning and taken a "whiff" of the morning air! The whispers of springtime are so alive in my home with my tulips! I stop many times each day to take a 'mini' vacation into springtime....I hope I don't wear out the fragrance!

To my dear friend who blessed me with this gift, I am so grateful for our friendship, you mean a lot to me, Judy!
