Chilly February

February is here!

well I call this my "posy dress". I have NO IDEA what these flowers really are! LOL Big red poppies? Red sunflowers? ha ha

Let's meet on the corner .......and go for an evening walk about Charleston....in the winter ......on a chilly night! Long sleeves and leggings are now in use!

The "girls" got new winter coats for Christmas and were excited to show them off!

Tracie just loves her marigold yellow coat with the white fur and Amybelle loves her fur, new shoes and her new hat!

not to be outdone, of COURSE, ha ha LOL---Tansy is feeling glamourous in her shiny black "leather" coat. LOL

Tracie also got fun rainbow tights for Christmas

Let's see...........where shall we take  y'all?

yes!---let's go this way!!

Streetlights are now glowing and glimpses of sparkly chandeliers can be seen behind lace curtains

that is a HUGE mirror up there on that wall!

just a few pumpkins remain.....most people have thrown theirs out by now. Very soon we will start seeing red hearts and Valentine wreaths on doors and windows.

Spotted Valentine goodies at the grocery last night:

lots of pretty balloons, boxes of candy, cards, and flowers to choose from

Went thrift store shopping last week. Got lots of books! I don't think I've read any Robyn Carr---but we did enjoy the two seasons of Virgin River that was on Netflix, so I might like the book.

Found a whole series of these mermaid stories for Fairy Granddaughter:

and this little American Girl book:

I love how these American Girl books and stories teach history in such a fun way. Love how they picture the characters in the front of the books! Brings the characters to life, I think.

 (I do think there is a fairy book in this series for every single color, animal, occasion, flower, season, place! ha ha LOL)

 I found a whole stack of these cute little fairy paperbacks!

This American Girl book is about a little girl named Marie-Grace:

Love the cover of the book above....the Mandy book.

love the pretty illustrations too!

The Mandy book is about a little ten year old girl.

And this one is about the Marie-Grace book:

Lots of these fun American Girl books---from so many eras. 

the illustrations from the Mandy book look so much like Charleston!

Not too much from the garden now, with the cold spell we had. Some peppers and one last "mater".

Been enjoying my magazines that have piled up over the holidays! Enjoyed this one as Mr. Front Porch spotted our very first blue bird to return just this weekend! I am so glad they are back. I love watching them and making pictures of them.

cute little babies!!

So......hope everybody's week has started off great!

I saw where lots of you got alot of snow and ice recently! Everybody---stay warm!
