Cook Out !

Well, it is the last day of February so with the weather up in the 50 I coked Pork Steak outside on the grill !    They now leave the grills out all winter for us to use.   It is the last day of February so we are waiting to see how March comes in,  If March comes in like a Lion it will go out like a Lamb, or if it comes in like a Lamb, it will go out like a Lion !!!

.

.

There is very little snow outside right now, February warmed up about a week ago and we did et some nice wind and rain to knock the snow down.

.

.

This is out back tonight just before it started to et windy and rained !

This is same spot first part of February, the rock

We did get in a walk outside after supper before it got dark and rained.

Hopefully Spring is only 3 to 5 weeks away !

Don't forget, Remember out Vets !

Nice Birthday

Well, February 20th rolled around and I was blessed to celebrate my 71st Birthday !     We had a nice quiet day,  I played at the Nursing Home and entertained the residents for my Birthday !!!  

  Such a Blessing for myself and the Guys I play with.

.

.

I am Blessed, with all my Medical Issues, Heart Problems, the Stroke I am doing OK.

.

.

My Honey thinks I look pretty good for being 7 decades old.

.

We had a little get together at Church and I had about 20 of my Sunday Church Group get together for Cake and Ice Cream and music and Prayer !

Hard to believe that February 21st it was 60 degrees here, and raining and we have lost most of our SNOW!!!!!!!.
