falling down as the winter takes one more Cherry Tree

We have so much snow right now, I think we should all go into hibernation until April.

I know I have said in the past that I hate Valentine's Day,etc., that it's just a greedy ploy by the greeting card companies to make us spend our precious pennies, but recently something changed inside of me. Something changed so much, in fact, that yesterday I went shopping. Shopping for my husband. Mind you, I did not purchase a box of chocolates, or foo-foo underwear, or any sickening red and pink gift adorned with hearts. Rather, I made a more practical purchase, I think. Details after V-D.
