  2. Lovely photos. I'm always struck by the blue skies in your photos. Even if there's snow and it's cold I think going out is more enjoyable when there's bright light and some sunshine. We're trying to eat healthily too. The potato is amusing! Enjoy your weekend!

  4. I thought at first that Valentine potatoes must be some old Finnish custom - now I understand! A nice cheerful post.

  10. Hi Sara! A wonderful assortment of photos! I found a heart shaped potato once but it was tiny!
    I'm impressed that you still have jellies left from Christmas! All my sweets are long gone!
    Have a lovely weekend

  11. Love Doc Martin!
    What an amazing find, a heart shaped potatoe!! Baked potatoe for you on Valentines Day.
    What brand is your wool? You always manage to find the most amazing colours. Would make a great scarf.
    Amazing photos as always Sara.

    1. Thank you, Prunella! :) I'm exactly making a scarf!
      The yarn (100 % acrylic) is Novita's Puro Batik. I didn't find it any more at the manufacturer's website and contacted them to know if it's still produced. (Haven't received an answer yet.)
      Have a lovely week ahead!

  12. Although it is still Saturday here it is far from sunlit so I appreciate your bright colourful pictures with just a little snow - I will swap it for our wind and rain any day.

  14. Great photos, after we had a dull February day. Nice you found a Valentine potatoe, I go and have a look at my potatoes in the basement, may be I find a heart too, I don't think so.
    Have a nice Sunday!

  15. I was going to ask what a Valentine potato is and I saw it for myself! Will it be cooked and a special offering to anyone? Hopefully Judy (above) will find one too, it would make her day, wouldn't it?

  22. Voi ihanuus mitä söpöyksiä, sydänperuna :) Minäkin olen jäänyt koukkuun siihen outoon tohtorisarjaan. Siellä hieno Filippan paitakin vilahti. Onneksi tämä tammikuu, herkuton kuukausi, on nyt ohi, hih.

    1. Kiitos, Sametti Hortensia! <3 Helmikuu onkin aikamoinen herkuttelukuukausi.
      Filippa-tuote on paitamekko. Tummansinisenä ehdoton lempivaatteeni, jos kuumalla säällä on pakko liikkua paljon kaupungilla tms. Eihän sitä tosin Suomessa kovin usein satu... :D

  24. It looks like February is treating you well so far - I love all the food shots, especially the heart shaped potato. In the way of nature pictures, all those featuring ice and frost are just stunning!!

    Have a wonderful week!

  27. Kauniita, värikkäitä kuvia. Varsinkin vesitippa oksassa ja jääkuva kuvastavat hyvin tämän hetken helmikuuta. Tunnelma sisäkuvissa on kotoinen ja lämmin. Enpä ole tuollaista Ystävänpäiväperunaa ennen nähnyt. Hyvää työtä.
