Happy Valentine's Day!

I'm so happy that we finally had some warm(er) weather yesterday.  We topped out at 45 degrees, which was 62 degrees warmer than the morning two days before when we woke up to 17 below zero, real, not wind chill.
This morning we were in the thirties and, hey, I am not complaining!  Just so anxious for the snow to melt!
I have to say, Valentine's Day has never been one of my favorite holidays, at least in recent years.  With hubby and I both being self-employed, this is a tough one because "society" tends to make it all about going out to dinner, giving/sending flowers, jewelry or candy, etc.  February is a rough month for us because quilting is typically slow for a couple of months after Christmas and heck, who is wanting to have their house painted in January or February?  Money is usually tight or non-existent this time of year so we don't buy into the commercialism of the day.  Although, DD Leslie did take me to Subway today for lunch and we got a free cookie in honor of Heart Day.  :o)
I have something to share with you.  Carly Simon is one of my all time favorite artists.  
Happy Valentine's Day to you.
