Have a Happy (or, Stormy) Valentine?

It depends on where you live.

We are about to get our first taste of winter storm tonight. While a state of emergency was declared in upstate New York, it has been bone dry but cold around my area. The municipal plows have been "sleeping" this winter season until now. Tonight and tomorrow will be a test on their "salting" and plowing efficiency. Snow, sleet and rain - a wintry mix is prescribed.

Currently the weather outside is best described as the "calm before the storm". The timing couldn't have been better, for tomorrow is Valentine's Day. I wonder if restaurants will see a drop in table reservations due to the north-easter. Anyway, Adrian & I will be having a quiet dinner at home. We don't believe in contributing to the commercialism of Valentine's. Call us cheap but I prefer the term frugal.

Meanwhile, I made these pretty babies for Adrian to bring to the ladies in his office tomorrow. If they decide to work from home - too bad! You're missing some Hershey Kisses and Nestle chocolate crunch hearts packed with love.

"HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY EVERYONE!"
