Week 9

Welcome back and welcome to March! Seriously, how is it March already?  I have a feeling it's going to be a busy and full month with a little crazy thrown in.  At least February is over and ended well with lots of reasons to smile. 😊

Take a look at our last week of the month:

Day 55- Monday, 2/24/20

This is not a bad way to start the day with a little love in your cereal bowl.  These Cheerio hearts are too cute and make me smile.  This is also not a bad way to end the day.  Over the weekend John put up some lights out back which create a nice relaxing atmosphere.

Day 56- Tuesday, 2/25/20

At work I'm testing hundreds of serum samples mostly from horses for 3 different side projects but also from random marine mammals and zoo animals like rhinos and tapirs.  Go figure!  And look at this sample label--how cute is it that they have a little monk seal face printed there.  I've never seen that before, but I hope to see more and from other animal types as well because this most certainly put a smile on my face.

Day 57- Wednesday, 2/26/20

My typical lunch once I get home from work and the carnivore that's always circling below hoping a piece of salmon might make it's way to the floor.  Brandon's not so typical dinner.  I promised him pancakes yesterday for National Pancake Day but totally forgot so I made it up to him today which put a smile on his face.

Day 58- Thursday, 2/27/20

Yep--we actually went out on a Thursday night.  Today and only today Burgers and Brew had a limited pour release of a newly brewed beer that John wanted to try so we made a night of it and had dinner there as well.  Brandon was with us and took the picture.  As you can see this put a smile on John's face.

Day 59- Friday, 2/28/20

The weather has been nice and warm and many more trees are in bloom that look great against the clear blue sky.  I can't help but smile when I seem dormant plants start to come to life.  It's also great to see John at work leading his team.  Thankfully on of the team members snap a picture to share with him so we could see him in action.

Day 60- Saturday, 2/29/20

Brandon is leaping into a new month with a crooked smile on his face after getting his learner's permit today.  Now he can start driving lessons.  It's time to get the final kid behind the wheel and on the road.  Later John made a batch of chicken wings for dinner and as you can see he's all bundled up.  The wind picked up and the temps dropped.  Bye-bye nice spring weather.  It looks like March will be coming in like a lion.

Day 61- Sunday, 3/1/20

Happy March!  It looks sunny and warm out as I pose with the monthly marker in front of some blooming flowers but it's actually really windy, very cold, and mostly cloudy.  It's still dry though so it seemed like a good day to let Brandon learn the basics in an empty parking lot.  He tried to act like he wasn't excited to start driving but the smile on his face said other wise.

Wait!  One more:

February's Family Photo

Taken the last day in February on a leap year during family dinner and we're all smiles for some chicken wings and fries!

That's a wrap!  Hope to See you next week.
