Hi angel friends! :) my family and i hope everyone is doing well, keeping warm, and enjoying a great day! :) We love the weekends :) my family and i are keeping warm, as it's very wintery cold outside. We have our furnace on, and enjoying some hot drinks :) my mom's been sharing with us, her dunkin donuts tea :) i'm so happy she and my dad are enjoying the teas :) their anniversary is coming up soon :) i want to buy some more for them :) We love hot drinks, especially on cold weather days. it's very cold, in many areas, as the arctic air has been flowing down. this morning, we checked in our weather updates, they said, it's gonna be between -5 and -15 temperature here in our state, tonight into tomorrow, and in our city, about -23 degrees windchill. it's very dangerous cold weather. We've been taking good care of all of our pets, all of the cats we've brought indoors before winter arrived, they are staying nice and warm in our addition, including garden friend cat :) awww! :) They have a heater, and a radio on out in the addition :) we love going out to see them, and petting them :) there's 5 cats out there :)we love taking care of the pets, including our nature friends :) i've been putting extra goodies outside for them :)
This morning, we had a sweet new day, rising and shining :) i bundled up, and got a nice big bowl of goodies, for our nature friends, and went outside to put the treats out there for them :) it's very cold, and has gotten more windy, as the day goes on. the wind makes the windchill temperature go way down. if it's 10 degrees, with 15 to 20mph winds, it can feel like it's -5 degrees. It's been so cold, one of our theromometers out there, has completely iced up. it's a wild sight! i didn't stay out for too long this morning, only a few minutes to put treats out there. :) the treats are helping our nature friends, make it through the winter season, especially these very cold days of winter. it was a nice relaxing, and peaceful morning :) i enjoyed some nice time here on ds, writing to friends, and also spent some time here in my writing area :)

We got some shopping baskets, and began to browse around :) they have some nice Valentine's day items, along with some Easter, and spring items near the main entrance of the store :) we were browsing around, and then went over to the greetings cards :) i bought some greetings cards, and also checked the toys aisle, to see if they had any hotwheels cars. :) they didn't have any, but it's fun to see if they have some there :) Holly and i love to collect hotwheels :)
We continued to browse around, i bought some gifts, and treasures, 2 mailing envelopes :) i'm putting together some happy birthday treasures packages to mail to friends :) i also bought some nice new stickers, including some sunflowers seeds : )they're awesome! :) they really stocked up lots of new stickers :) i love browsing around the writing supplies, and crafts aisles :) the experience was going great :) my mom and dad were finding some great items too :) They have some garden seeds there, including boxes of marigolds seeds : )We want to buy a box closer to spring time :) my mom and dad bought a new 2018 calendar :) i bought a jar of garlic stuffed olives :)

That kind of cold is just insane. I had a couple of cold days like that when I lived in the Czech Republic. It feels like the actual marrow in your bones is ice cold. Bundle up and keep up with those hot teas! Aww I’m glad all the kitties are safe and warm. I hope they don’t argue too much all together there. Is garden friend a neighbour’s cat,or a stray that comes visiting? Meanwhile in Brisbane, 32 celcius, air-con pumping, and it’s Misty’s 11th birthday :) xx
Sounds like a lovely day. Great pics. I stayed in, too cold -27. Break in the weather for a few days. I'm going to the city on Monday to shop. Hugs! Brooke
