Like almost every other person on the planet, we have had our lives upended by Covid 19.  It is difficult, but we are well and have enough of what we need so we count ourselves blessed.  Someone posted on the neighborhood facebook page asking people to put stuffed animals in the front window so neighborhood kids could go on an animal hunt.  On the nice days it was fun to see bicyclists spot the lion and chipmunk waving through the office window.  And on cold windy, dreary days like today, we wave at the occupants of cars who slow down and stop so the little ones strapped in the back seat can see better.  A little thing but such a joy!  May you find small joys that recharge your spirits!  Thanks for coming by to sharing your awesome posts.

Beautiful snowy postcard scene outside the dining room window -- calm and peaceful with heavy snow on the evergreens, birds flitting to and from the feeders, blue sky.  Nate the Great and his mommy squeaked in ahead of the storm and will time their departure tomorrow before the next storm.   I think that is why Great Plainsers are so productive . . . they are always working to beat the next storm, the next heat blast, the next big wind.   ;-o   Thanks for sharing your productivity each week!

Wheels started cardiac rehab this week.  He is doing very well since his new heart valve was put in place two weeks ago and that is a daily joy.   The boo for the week – the disruption of the A Pinch of Joy website.  While rehabbing and catching up on other parts of life that were on the back burner, somehow we totally lost the ability to receive traffic.  Bytes knows the gruesome details, but we are not contagious so your site won’t catch it.  (Drives him nuts when I explain techy stuff that way!)  So sorry for any inconvenience!  Thanks so much for stopping by today to share your awesome posts!

One day we are outside in sunshine making plans for this year's garden.  The next we are shivering in the sleet and wind crossing the parking lot with groceries.  The next morning the sky is filled with hundreds -- maybe thousands - who can count?  - of  honking white snow geese making their northern migration.  Spring on the Plains!   Certainly never boring.  Like the awesome posts linked here each week -- never boring!  Thank you for sharing!!

As mentioned last week, Wheels has a record of great Valentine gifts.  This year's gift cannot be topped!  He had a new "heart part installed" - an artificial heart valve.  Doctors started the procedure about 11:30 am last Tuesday and he was out of the hospital by 3 pm on Wednesday.  He is doing very well.  An amazing and life-changing gift for him and all his friends and family!  Thanks for stopping by to share your amazing posts each week.
