Hi everyone. Another work week is wrapping up, and Friday is here. I hope your week has been good. Plus it's the last day of February. This year is already flying by, isn't it? I will be glad to put February in the books because it's been quite the weather month in my area. Today I have some assorted photos to share. I'll be linking up today's post to Gillena's FRiday Lunch Break and also Nicole's Friday Face Off.
First here's a few photos from this past week. I received some happy mail the other day. My blog friend Vicki at Stamped Smiles sent me this gorgeous card as well as a little fun package. Thank you again Vicki. ❤
At the end of last winter I started knitting this sweater. I got about as far as 1 and 1/2 sleeves completed before I packed it up when the nice weather arrived in the spring of 2024. Recently I've taken it back out, and here's where I'm at right now. I'm hoping I can finish it before next winter. That way if next winter is as cold as this one was I'll have it to wear.
I showed you my daffodils the other day, but I haven't shown you the tulip bulbs that I have and that are now flowering.
The daffodils were partially blooming the other day when I posted them, and now they look even better.
And here's some delicious koukourakia cookies that I purchased the other day at a somewhat local but definitely authentic Greek bakery. ( The owners speak about as much English as I speak Greek.) I was quite pleased with myself that I could still say "Thank you" in Greek. I learned it when I visited Greece last March, and the funny thing was I had so much trouble remembering it when I was there. 😁
I need a few faces for Nicole's Friday Face Off, so here's a few faces I've taken at different points of this month.
Miss Maddie loves me to throw snow on her when I shovel. She shakes it off and then waits for me to throw more on her.
Here's a couple of sky photos I captured earlier this month with my phone. First is Venus around sunset and the second is the moon rise.
And finally, the huge wild turkey flock was back last week cleaning up the bird seed on the ground in my yard.
Enjoy what's left to February, and have a great weekend and start of March.

...Erika, it looks like you went to Costco for your tulips. Your sure live in turkey town, I wish you a Marvelous March.
Here too February was a challenging month in terms of snow, but I didn’t have the pleasure of the company of turkeys. Well, not avian ones anyway!
LOL@ Miss Maddie...that's lots of fun for her, I bet. The tulips are really lovely. Yellow is great, purple is my favourite though.
Beautiful post loved seeing your flowers and I always enjoy watching the wild turkeys especially when they bring their youngsters around
Lovely tulips; the yellow color is so uplifting to mind and the brings spring mood 💛Happy March🌞 Thanks for sharing your wonderful photos 💐
Yay to the end of February. Lovely happy mail. I love the color of your sweater and seeing daffs and tulips. Maddie made me smile. I'm glad someone enjoys the snow. Not me. That is quite the turkey herd you got there. Enjoy the warm and sunshine today
Happy sunflower-mail! Oh, your sweater reminds me of my knitting days... nearly 40 years ago!
Such beautiful flowers. Nice to see on such a(nother) grey day. I´m yawning myself silly here.
Miss Maddie! 💚 And those turkey, wow. With March to warmer weather soon!
A wonderfully eclectic visual feast of photos, thanks for sharing them with us!
Great post.
Those pastries look really tempting!
The sweater you started is a lovely colour combination with the pattern. Your tulip bulbs are lovely and Miss Maddie is having fun with the snow. Your post is lovely, what we see and read!
Have a good day, hugs Elke
Awesome photos Erika, loving your tulip bulbs.
What a fabulous post! Loving the happy mail from Vicki, she makes the most amazing cards 😊. Your jumper looks fab and it so nice to be able to get those pretty spring flowers, hope it's not long now until Spring. Those greek cookies look so good, I'd happily eat one (well maybe two or three, smile!) - yum! Maddie looks like she's having lots of fun in the snow and I loved seeing those turkeys too, brings back lots of travel memories ❤️. Happy Friday and weekend! Hugs, Jo x
Oh my those pastries look YUM!! Your flowers are so happy and inviting with the bright yellow and a small color around the rim! Beautiful! So happy you're post arrived and hope you have fun with it my friend! Your pup's face is just too cute!! Thanks for the happy post today...I needed! Have a lovely weekend!
Erika may I paint your 2nd tulip photo? It speaks to me.
Hi Erika, love the beautiful photos. Miss Maddie enjoys the snow, brrrr, not me. No snows here but very cold. And my c old has gone at last, I am so happy! Have a great weekend, hugs, Valerie
First I love the turkeys in your yard. That's awesome. Mattie in the snow is just too cute and the statue for FFO is amazing. Give me some of those cookies. Anything with sugar and cinnamon. LOL The flowers are gorgeous and the knitting and art are lovely. Thank you for joining FFO and have a great weekend.
Seeing the daffodils and tulips really made me think spring is coming soon. Its arrival is very welcome after the snow, ice and cold temps in recent weeks
I want some cookies and daffodils.
