The Rest of Valentine's Day

As I said, we started the day with breakfast:





As everyone seemed to like the picture of the cookies, I decided to include a picture of some heart-shaped donuts that were at the same bakery:



The sleigh ride was neat, despite the near-to-below zero weather. It was on a learning farm –– a place where city kids can go to learn about farm animals. While we were there, we saw a little lamb sleeping on top of a sheep. It was something like what a sheep piggy-back-ride would look like.

We also got roast marshmallows over a bonfire that was set up near where the ride began. Let me tell you, it's easier to roast non-frozen marshmallows in the summer, but there was something satisfying about my winter smore.





If you look closely, you can see the city lights in the background of this one (click on it for a larger version):

Happy Valentine's Day



There's a privately-owned small town bakery in Farmington that made these cookies, as well as heart-shaped donuts. They said they make shamrock shaped donuts for St. Patrick's day, as well.

Joe and I got up early so we could have breakfast, then we're headed on a sleigh ride after work. Later, we're cooking a nice meal of shrimp, broccolini and pasta or rice at home, where it's warm. How are you spending your Valentine's day?
