It's Valentine's Day!
I have Valentine's Day chocolate hearts that my sweetie gave me. Yum!
We still have lots of snow on the ground. All the snow and packed ice around the car's tires makes it hard to get the car in and out of parking spots, so we decided to leave the car at home and go to the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens this morning by bus. The snow was still white and pristine in the Gardens, with no yellow, no brown and no gray stains. Fields of white with no footprints. Small bushes looked more like vanilla frosted muffins than shrubs. A mermaid statue in the pond filled with snow, looked like she was riding a sled. Cardinals stood out like Orissa Garnets against the snow. The first bird we saw was a Mockingbird sitting on a crabapple tree. The big treat of the day was watching a hawk chase a small bird. We went back and forth trying to ID the hawk, but finally decided it was red tail because of it's white belly.
In addition to Valentine's Day, it the Chinese Lunar New Year. In celebration of the New Year we will have Chinese Food for dinner tonight. I have been looking forward to this meal all week. Tomorrow is President's Day. It's the triple crown of holiday weekends.
Yet another picture in the series of self portraits.
