I'm know I'm not the only one here today that's stuck in this frigid cold weather. As my friends in New England would say...it's wicked cold!!
It's barely 13 degrees F with a wind chill of -7 degrees F. Brrrrrr
It's also Valentines Day so I hope you have your love to help keep you warm 
I don't have a husband so I'm my own Valentine today. I bought myself some chocolate which is a great excuse to eat something I usually try to avoid (too many calories). Even though I'm alone, I'm not lonely but sometimes I do miss having someone to love in my life.
My Aunt texted me from Florida to wish me a Happy Valentines Day and also to rub it in that she's enjoying some beautiful weather whereas we're freezing here in Pennsylvania. I have an open invitation to visit her any time I want and maybe one of these cold winter days I'll surprise her and show up on her doorstep.
Hope that you are all having a wonderful Sunday and doing something fun (even if it isn't romantic).

I cannot imagine you ever being lonely, you strike me as someone who is the hub of a wide circle of loving friends and family. And speaking of which, happy Valentines day friend!
I made apple turnovers for brunch, my husband likes them. I bought him a planter full of maroon coloured tulips. He liked them and we can plant the bulbs in our garden.
It was my way of bringing a little bit of spring into the house, its too cold to go outside here too. It is going to warm up near the end of the week they say, time will tell!

@Marilynda1225 They smell so pretty, actually like spring. We have our home for sale and I thought that since these tulips won't bloom again this year, they would be all ready to go with us to the next home (when we find it) and we can plant them in the garden there. My husband complimented me on a maroon top that I was wearing on Saturday, hence my choice for these tulips. They were so pretty, in an unusual way.
And BTW, its still cold here, the high will be the freezing mark. There is light snow falling currently-ugh. I just keep looking at those tulips and smiling.

@juliaacv Happy Valentines Day to you my friend I am usually a happy person and a day like today doesn't bother me that I don't have a special someone to love...I am surrounded by a large family so I collect all my hugs & kisses from them 
I love tulips and maroon colored ones sound really pretty. Good idea to bring some spring into the house while it's so freakin cold out.

I have no one either, so it is just another day for me. I will buy myself chocolates too, but this year I didn't. i figured I realy don't need them, and if I don't have them, I won't have a tendency to eat them, which is a good thing too. I will just enjoy my valentines day in here, which is more fun anyway.

Sorry it's so cold for you there Marilyn. It's not too bad here which is a good thing as our heating has packed up. We're having to use portable heaters. Not to worry, there are worse things.
I'm sorry that you have no Valentine, but I know that you have a loving family.

Even now the snow is still on the ground here in Pennsylvania. But I have faith that Spring will come!
