Last week we had warmer than usual temperatures and sunshine. 

It was good to get out for more walks and running errands. 

The sunshine lifted our spirits after having no sun in January. 

Today it feels cooler; however, it is still warmer for February. 

The sky is cloudy and when I drove to the neighboring town, I spotted snow still on the Tug Hill Plateau. 

It seems more quiet than usual too.

This morning I woke up and told myself I was going to treat myself to some spring-colored flowers during my errands. 

While I enjoy doing and giving things to others, I have learned over the years to give back to myself. 

As I type this blog, I smile and look up at my bouquet of roses.

Give to others and yourself when you can. 

Blessings over you my friends and family.
