Just checked forecast and it's rain, but there was no snow scheduled last week so we may be lucky.

Seymour can’t make a valentines card so he just uses his tongue to make a heart! Hope everyone has a lovely sunny Valentine’s Day!

I love that ruler! Ours aren’t as snazzy but more wooden folding rulers.
