Snow Snow Snow

Snow fell again late this afternoon

creating a winter wonderland.

I see such beauty in the snowy landscape.

The problem is where to put it all when shoveling.

It's over my head in some areas.

Snowing!

Little Polly always steps out into the porch
early every morning
no matter what the weather.
When I opened the front door this morning
I noticed that the snow had drifted into the porch.
Polly didn't seem to mind!

Looks like the bird house is snowed in!

I'm going to bundle up and shovel my way
over to the studio now.
More a little later!

Stormy Sea

After we shoveled out this afternoon,
we wondered what the surf might be like...

Just going by the tidal basin was a hint of
what to expect for there
were waves in what normally is calm water.

The tide was high and the surf was wild and crashing
with rooster tails...
something about a storm and the ocean that is so
mesmerizing.

We watched til almost dark...

Snow in Maine

A Nor'easter swept through New England
while we were away visiting family on Sunday.
We returned home to Maine about 6 pm. tonight (Mon.)
and we couldn't get into our driveway for there was
a mountain of snow up to my waist.
D had a little shovel in the car and made a narrow
path so we could walk down the driveway to reach the
walkway that leads to the front steps. We trudged
through the knee-deep snowy path to discover the
front steps had vanished, buried under snow all the
way up to the door. Once inside, we were greeted by
Polly and Brody, two of our cats who were very concerned
and happy that we were home! Ellie May, my studio cat,
watched from a darkened window as the path to the studio
was shoveled next. Oh, it's good to be home and in a warm house!
