Lovin his Valentine's Day

Yesterday was beautiful.

In the morning i was awakened by my husband and son, handing me a valentine they had made together. And might i add that they didnt wake me up until close to 9:00!...which made the valentine they gave me EVEN BETTER!
Valentine's Day is supposed to be about love. Well, its mostly about how much money can you spend on buying things for the one you love. Lots of men spend a lot of money of flowers that have been marked up in price for the "special day".
(btw: the flowers die pretty quickly)
Shouldnt we just do thoughtful things for the people we love throughout the entire year? Why wait for the month February? How about giving flowers to some one in September? How about saying "I love you" every day?
We spent Valentine's Day with our friend whom we love (and who Forest loves especially). We all spent the day in the woods and ended up along the American River. It was probably over 60 degrees! And i can probably count it as one of the most enjoyable Valentine's Days we have had.
