Ok, my husband and I do not celebrate valentines day. Eight years ago he made me a potting bench for V-day and eight years prior to that I got him a deer print. Real romantics, huh?
I guess the love bug got us this year. He surprised me with these incredible chocolate dipped strawberries:) I surprised him with Chubby Chipmunk Truffles, music, bubble bath, and wine. I'm here to say my raspberry wine was meant to be enjoyed with chocolate! Needless to say it was a fun romantic evening.

Our unusual celebration was not the only surprise for Valentine's Day. The night prior Ella really set to barking outside. I ran out and called her back into the house. She doesn't usually bark and she was quite restless the rest of the night. This morning we found out why. Those are mountain lion tracks.
That is my coffee cup for scale. Not a monster lion, but any lion is big enough.
This is our garage. The tracks go back and forth in front. They also went right up our sidewalk to the steps of our porch.
Not the Valentine's surprise we really wanted. Ella will now have an armed guard with her when she is outside.
I hope your Valentine's Day was filled with pleasant surprises
My heart raced reading your post. We've had a few sightings here, but I've never seen one. Your other surprises were a lot more pleasant! Happy Valentine's Day, dear friend. XOXO
ReplyDeleteWe are the same way over Valentines. Scott said last night we can always go tomorrow and get the stuff at a deep discount if you really want something. LOL! And I agree with Susan... chocolates and wine sound oh so much better than lion steps up to your entries.
ReplyDeleteI bet you are not letting Ella out on her own ,scary.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed your Valentine's evening but what a scare with the mountain lion! The paws look plenty big and scary to me. Be careful out there!
ReplyDeleteThat is quite a scary surprise! Love seeing the pawprints, but I'm glad they aren't in my yard.
ReplyDeleteThose tracks are outrageous, I have seen a few around.Beware of their like of small pets.
ReplyDeleteLook at you love birds! Very cute! Wow, right up to the house. That's a bold fella. I hope he wanders on and out of civilization! Happy Valentine's Day! Cheers, Jenni
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like one very bold mountain lion. Be careful.
