So....Snowmageddon was a no-show this weekend. I'm beginning to trust the weatherman about as much as I trust a used car salesman. Not that I'm complaining about the lack of snow, mind you! It just would have been fun to have one good snow that was enough for the dog to romp in, and maybe build a snowman. Seriously! If it's going to be this cold, we should at least have something to show for it, right?
Well, cold weather or not, Spring is coming, and with it comes Easter. This was one of the cards we made in our stamp club last week. I love the sweet smell of Easter Lilies, but don't dare bring any plant of any kind in the house. Our cat would immediately take it upon himself to sample it, and lilies are poisonous to cats. He's a good mouser and my snuggle-buddy, so he's going to have to stick to the nibbles of kale that I give him sometimes.
