Well,
Have a Happy Valentines Day! xoxoxo
Sometimes we feel that the grass is always greener on the other
side of the fence. Take our Little Dove for instance; she is enamored
with the Groundhog.
The Dove thinks that he is so handsome and strong.....

But
right now the only thing that he is interested in is filling his
tummy!
(The
way to a mans heart is through his stomach) :)

"Oh

"I think he is so cute
and so very hairy!"

But,
the poor little Dove didn't understand that he just wasn't suited for her.
He couldn't fly, he kept different hours, and worse yet he didn't even notice
her! |

New

you have something in common with your sweetheart and you enjoy their
company the bond can grow even bigger. Make some new memories! |

I
am sending you a big kiss and a hug.
Your friend in nature,

P.S. The Groundhog told me that there would be five more weeks of
winter! :) |

The History of Valentines Day
One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during
the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single
men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed
marriage for young men -- his crop of potential soldiers. Valentine,
realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued
to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine's
actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be jailed.
According to the legend, Valentine actually sent the first 'valentine'
greeting himself. While in prison, it is believed that Valentine fell
in love with a young girl -- who may have been his jailor's daughter
-- who visited him during his confinement. Before his death, it is
alleged that he wrote her a letter, which he signed 'From your Valentine,'
an expression that is still in use today. Although the truth behind
the Valentine legends is murky, the stories certainly emphasize his
appeal as a sympathetic, heroic, and, most importantly, romantic figure.
It's no surprise that by the Middle Ages, Valentine was one of the
most popular saints in England and France.
