HEAVEN'S GATE

Hmmm...I could do something like this...and maybe I will. Then I could let everything on the other side grow wild with only a couple of mowings a year.

Kitchen Fabulous

This kitchen is super nice, isn't it? I've been too busy to take any photos of my own since I finally got to visit the outside world today. I did it all ~ post office, bank, real estate walk-thru, grocery store, vet, gas station, town hall visit to pay my real estate taxes. I still need to go to the library to return two videos but I think I'll save that for tomorrow. Whew. I'm bushed!

Antiques So Wonderfully Displayed

A place for everything and everything in its place. How nice. I'd love to see more of the wall of shelves decorated with antique baskets and miniature furniture.

Baby Duckling - So cute!

Must be dinner time or play time or swim time and this little guy is running to catch up. Such a nice image to end my day. See you tomorrow!

Ice Everywhere at My Cottage


I don't have a doorbell and I sincerely hope nobody is coming anywhere near my front door today since the walkway is a solid sheet of ice and the iron bell is frozen too. I must deal with the outside pretty soon and scatter some seeds for the poor birds if I do nothing else.

Swimming Pond

I grew up swimming in ponds like this but I'm pretty sure I've lost my nerve. It always bothered me back then when I thought I felt a fish nibble at my toes. I recently saw a snapping turtle when I was showing a house with a pond and it was fierce looking. Now I wouldn't even dangle my feet off this beautiful rustic dock, would you?

I just had to post something showing Mother Nature at her best since she's showing her ugliest face at my house. My car is covered in about 3" of solid ice. I'm not sure I could open the door if I wanted to. I'll be fine until Thursday when I have to take the dog to the vet for a checkup. I think the sun'l be out tomorrow. Stay warm or cool depending on where you are.
