Sunset on the snow


This is probably a sunrise but I'm calling it a sunset because that's the time of day right now. The sun has started going down and it won't be long now until dusk. I had a busy, busy, busy day and I'm glad day is done. I can almost hear someone playing Taps on a trumpet in the distance. via

Another Snow Day Today


"I thought you said Spring was tomorrow," Webster grumbled. We got about 3 inches of this white stuff topped by some sleet. Our little French bulldog house guest wants no part of putting his paws in it so I'm letting him sleep in. I'm not looking forward to going outside either but I must later. Do you think the groundhog was wrong this year?

Our Taxes are Finally Finished

I worked for 3 hours on Saturday and over 3 hours on Sunday on my taxes and today I mailed them to my accountant. Webster helped and so did Tabitha. Piggie napped in his crate so I could get my work done. I am so happy. I actually set the timer on my iPhone for the 3 hour self-imposed timeouts. They worked too. I was determined to wrap them up and I did. 

Irish Wolfhound Doorstop Displayed

I have more doorstops than I have doors. This one is very heavy and I never got around to putting felt on the bottom so I display it up high where I can enjoy it at eye level. It's on top of an old lingerie chest with clean lines that is covered in sheet music that I got years ago at a tag sale. I love the way this painted dog looks with the lamplight shining on it. 

Waiting for Spring


It won't be long now before the roses are climbing up the trellis of this lovely shingle-style home on Martha's Vineyard. The front door is open so let's go inside. via
