happy ♥ day

thanks for all of your garden suggestions. i am very excited by the possibilities. {amy s, i would love to hear more about your time at the school. email me if you wish...}

i have bittersweet feelings about this day. d proposed to me - with a "conversation heart" - on valentine's day {what was it, 8 yrs ago?}. 5 yrs ago my dad entered the hospital on valentine's day. the last time i spoke with him was february 13, 2002. he loved this day. loved surprising us with flowers and chocolates. and i try and carry that on. the girls woke to these "tokens of my affection" {inspired by carol's}waiting by their breakfast this morning. and some conversation hearts too, of course.



{great sequence on the production of the candy hearts here}

hope you have a wonderful day.
hug those you love tightly. keep them close in your heart.
