Gungywamp

I've often wondered exactly what a gungywamp is, but nothing on that street indicated any answer. Oh, well, at least I don't live on gungywamp!

Greenhouse Life

Impatient for springtime, Joy shows little respect for the other life forms in the greenhouse and makes herself at home in the warmest brightest spot in the house. Go girl!

Beginnings

It's still under the snow/ice which is

dwindling away, but at the back of the house, before the snow was fully gone, the first sprouts were popping up out of the ground. Ok, it's not winter any more, but it isn't quite spring either.

Thawing

Though the oak has not yet shed it's golden leaves, it seems winter is departing raising the river as the snow melts into it. The trees are naked still, but you know what? Not for long....

Age of Detail

This wonderful concrete icon iw attached to an old building that now serves as elderly housing, but I love what it says about our history. There is so much detail in the "olden" days I can see why people called them the golden days. I understand how lopsided jobs were then and I know that in some ways things have improved, but I'm still impressed whenever I see how explicit the details were once upon a time.

CAMI Morning Moon

The full moon rose late that night and was still bright and beautiful in the early morning where it reflected off the wet sand and gave the seagulls a glorious scene to fly through.

Age of Aquarius

Yesterday the moon was in the Seventh House and Jupiter aligned with Mars - ohmygod, It IS the dawning of the age of Aquarius, so let's hope that peace will guide the planets and love will steer the stars.

Kleenex

My "little" sister turned 60 today and my "baby" sister became a grandmother just last week. Please pass the kleenex.

Pansy Dreams

Maybe it's not winter any more, but it definitely isn't spring either. After a day of lovely 50's today's 45 was beaten into submission by the 20-30 mile an hour winds and the official Wind Chill Factor.
Anyhow, it made me think of summer's wild pansies so fondly.

Desk Helper

Full moon winter cat... eeeek! All wound up and pacing, climbing the walls, mounting the bookcases, pushing the hand holding the mouse, taking wild bats at the computer screen. Here's my Joy, hunkered down in the corner of the desk where she thinks we can't get her out of there. Ever see a better picture of a cat with her hands on her hips?

Antique & Shadow

I love the kind of work they used to put into the simplest of things. The first thing I saw was the shadow from the lamp, but lets face it, the outlet itself is a work of art!

Icecicle Season

Mostly they will have disappeared a week from now, but we are still in the midst of icecicle season. After a couple of days in thaw mode, we jumped back into the teens and it's been awfully pretty.
Starting tomorrow the daytime temperatures will be reaching up above freezing every single day (we won't talk about the nights - yet).
The groundhog may have had his say, but the season is changing!

Groundhog Day

Well, here it is again, the first of February and again the sun is shining brightly over streets full of ice and curbs piled high with snow. They said on the news that the groundhog is wrong 60 percent of the time and that's fine with me... come on spring!
