noelophile.com?p=20021 With all the rain and treacherous driving conditions, I won't suggest going out for #ValentinesDay if you don't have to.
But here is another "love" of my life, which you might like to put on your calendar after the weather clears.

noelophile.com?p=20010 Since California is getting pounded with an "atmospheric river", I won't suggest anyone go out for #ValentinesDay. Instead, my posts will cover some "loves" we can enjoy indoors or in the future.

Wow, she's so talented!

I don't blame you, these are beautiful! Wish I knew the designer.

Ooh, love this one! Great time to get felting for Valentine's Day.

And if someone says they "don't like cats", my supurrvisors and I may chorus, "HISSSSSS!"
