Thursday Thirteen Pics from this month

This cute guy saw his shadow so does that mean we have a longer or shorter winter?


We saw him here at our old favorite neighborhood bakery in Ohio


Before we went we had some ice here in Tx
Why these are called Pansies I do not know- they are so
strong - endured the frost and are thriving now



But in Ohio we had the beautiful Sparkling Snow




Saw my Grandma's old home

and My old HS

Then we flew back home -- I like our smallish airport
where we walk out onto the tarmac to board

left the snow behind

Home before Valentines Day


Saw these sights in the Cultural district of FTWorth
This giant Tulip

and This Commemorative Statue that ironically my Friend Natalie just spoke about on her blog because she is actually there



and my Tulips (peeking through)though smaller than the red one above
show me hope for an early Spring:) so was the ground hog right or wrong?

Oh, such beautiful pictures! I love your Grandma's old home, it looks so homey and grand! And the groundhog doughnut is so cute!

What a great Pictorial TT! I love your tulips just pushing up... the promise of Spring- the eternal return.
Happy TT!
I'm up at both Thornesworld
and with my very first TT at my new blog, Eclectic Witch!
I hope you'll stop by!

I can't show your blog to my son Gabriel, or there will be tantrum in the air. How can I explain that this delicious-looking cakes are not available here ? He'll tell me to go and find them where they're cooked.
Now, I know, as soon as I'll see a giant Tulip, I'll be close to achieving my travel : )

Pansies are "Pensées" in French, it means "thoughts". Maybe, it's a flowers langage ?

what cute ground hog donuts!

Great pics. I hope your tulips are smarter than that old groundhog on predicting Spring. Happy T13!

Such a nice contrast of spring and winter. I love the Valentine Flamingo. I have one of pelicans posed like a heart but not being pink it's not the same.

Wow, a trip home! I rarely do that. I'm glad it went well.

But that groundhog - doesn't look quite right... ;)

I always enjoy looking at your pictures. Your grandmother's house looks lovely, and I couldn't help smiling at the groundhog donuts (and seeing his shadow means 6 more weeks of winter...grumble grumble).

Thanks for visiting my blog!
