Winter flowers

These dried flowers look pretty against the snow. Today is really really cold again, but the dog needs to be walked, so I bundle up and take him. At least there was sunshine today, but it was still bitter cold.

Mr M and I went for dinner to our friends' house. They have two kids and one of them is selling chocolate candy for a school project, so I took my checkbook and helped her out. We had a very nice visit, the kids really enjoy playing with Mr M - he's kind of a big kid himself, so he fits right in.
