Feeling the love

First off I wanted to say, HaPPy VAleNtINeS!!

And now to explain today's mosaic...

I originally was not planning on participating in this week's Mosaic Monday, because I have been sick all weekend long and rather tired of posting the multitudes of pictures I have taken of the snow...  

I was sitting in bed, feeling sick and sorry for myself,

 when... 

what should I receive???

A beautiful arrangement of my absolute favorite flowers (tulips are so cheerful, don't ya think?)
 from...

my thoughtful married friend in CA.
Even more special than the Valentine bouquet, was the sweet card
 (accompanied with a Starbuck's gift card-she knows the way to my heart...;). 

 Being the pathological photographer that I am, I immediately had a miraculous recovery, 

jumped out of bed, and got a few shots of my lovely flowers.

Who needs a man, when you have such great friends!

 (and family...I did receive a Valentine from my Daddy as well)

{disclaimer::being sick and heavily medicated, I may recant that last statement...someday...}
