White Icing at My Cottage
Doesn't the picket fence look beautiful covered in snow? I love the scallops. I went to sleep last night with snow falling furiously and woke up to bright sun and a driveway that was already plowed. I am enjoying my coffee and will get on my shoveling shoes after I putter around the cottage for a while. I'm guessing we got about 8"or so but I can't really tell. My road is absolutely clean down to the pavement. Living on a county road is the best. Their equipment is so much bigger and better than the trucks used by the township. As I typed that last sentence they drove by in the big yellow truck with the shiny red plow on the front twirling salt in both lanes.
I wish someone would tell me when you are supposed to get your car washed in the winter. This is way outside my area of expertise. It seems futile until the snow melts, right? Stay warm. I hope you lucked out in the third snowstorm of the year the way I did. See you later.

Princess Margaret Showhome 2010
How do you like this clubby game and media room? It's one I really like in the 2010 Princess Margaret Showhome via Canadian House and Home Magazine. Click on the link to see a slideshow of the whole decorator showcase house. I love these dark bookcases that make the media center almost disappear and the books and artwork 'pop' making them the focus when the TV is off. Nice.

Don't you wish you had flowers to arrange at the kitchen sink instead of dirty dishes.
DOT the movie
Click here to watch the movie DOT
starring the world's smallest character.
Shot with a Nokia N8 cell phone. This smartphone has a 12MP camera with Carl Zeiss lenses. I think this is going to be my next phone.
I wasn't able to embed the movie in my blog. When you click on the link there are several fascinating short films to watch and be amazed. Anyone who sews or knits will be especially entertained.

Posted on 1/11/11 at 11:11am because I couldn't resist. Don't you love this composition? I am glad for a break from gardening and have happily traded these tools for a snow shovel. And you?

A beautiful image to start or end your day depending on your time zone. I've got a rather busy morning ahead with an office meeting, some broker open houses and a showing with a customer at noon. There is the added excitement of the frenzy before the snow storm that's coming. As usual, I'm running late. See you later.

Sleeping With Reindeer
Mongolian Nomad sleeping with the reindeer.
Isn't this an amazing photo? Found on Pixdaus. I'll be tucking in pretty soon myself. Goodnight.

I'm so glad Webster's bed his hidden behind the sofa so this garish blanket isn't the first thing you see when you walk in the room. It's a very preppy hot pink and green and Webster loves this thrift shop find. The weather people keep talking about significant snow tomorrow night but we don't care as long as there's power and dog food.

Aristocrats and servants face a changing world in the new PBS period drama Downton Abbey. This excellent Masterpiece Classic series (in four parts) follows an aristocratic British family and its servants in a drama set in the early 20th century.

Masterpiece | Downton Abbey | PBS
I watched the premier episode last night and loved it so much I just wanted to crawl inside the TV. "Downton Abbey" is all that "Upstairs, Downstairs" was, and more. It is being repeated at various times all week long or you can watch Episode One on the PBS website. This series was a huge hit in the UK, that's why the DVD is already available.
Did you see it and like it as much as I did? Please watch this series.

Could this be the reason all shearling coats are lined on the inside only? This beautiful sheep doesn't seem too concerned however.

I just walked past these hand-carved pigs and snapped a photo without rearranging them. They were probably part of a Noah's Ark. I should have taken the time to move them around for their debut on my blog but I didn't. Sorry. It's Sunday and these were Sunday toys. Check back, my OCD will make me take another picture. :-)

There is big melting going on at the cottage this morning. Those footprints in the snow are mine, all mine. The birds are thrilled that I finally filled up their feeders and there is a flurry of activity. Tabitha is happy too. She loves to sit behind the slider downstairs and watch them and sun herself at the same time. Cats really know how to entertain themselves, don't they. Enjoy your Sunday; I'll be back in a bit.

A Bluebird and A Double Rainbow
I've never been lucky enough to get a shot like this. You know I love bluebirds and have them here at the cottage. This has to be the ultimate happy photo of a bluebird and a double rainbow. I love it.
