ANOTHER Snow Day

I was really shocked to wake up to fierce snow that has already accumulated significantly. When the cat came in for the last time last night I could hear the gutters running and all of the snow on my roof was almost gone. Today's snow wasn't supposed to start until 8am but it's way ahead of schedule and I would say we already have about 3 inches. I am so lucky to live on a county road that is always plowed, salted and sanded. Stay safe and stay put if you can. See you later. I put this photo on Instagram this morning. See you later. I still have to watch the second half of Sherlock and I might do that this morning.

Neighboring House

Every house looks better in the snow, doesn't it? I wish that tree that hides the front door had been one of the trees Sandy took down. It's a grand looking house but I also wish it had been elevated to be higher than the front of the property when it was built in 1940 instead of being on a lower plane. Anyway, I love seeing it when I pull out of my driveway.

I went food shopping and now I'm ready for the snow tomorrow. As I've said in the past, I'm not a sports fan so I will be glued to PBS for Downton Abbey and Sherlock while the rest of the world watches Super Bowl 48. I am very glad we had such a nice day today weatherwise that continues into the night for the football game hosted in New Jersey. Enjoy your evening and I hope you house contains more than one TV so everyone will be happy tonight.

More Snow is On the Way

Isn't this snow scene beautiful? via

We are supposed to get 4 to 7 inches of snow tomorrow. Guess I should go food shopping today because I honestly have no staples in the house. I think I'll give the refrigerator a quick cleaning first. I am going to shop carefully and try not to buy too much because I hate to throw out food. I often buy two of something in the fresh produce aisle because it's marked two for $5.00 or whatever when one is all I need.

Webster says Goodnight.

He has already turned in for the night. We both had a good day and hope you did too. Enjoy your Saturday night and the rest of the weekend. xo

The Year of the Horse

The bookcase and horse painting are mine.

I didn't realize I was born in the year of the horse. Were you? Check here. I haven't finished reading the fascinating article....scroll down for the chart to find out your animal sign.

Here is the Waterlogue App watercolor version of the above photo. I am still loving this amazing app for my iPhone. Did you download it yet? Have a great weekend.

I like all of these!

Are you watching FLEMING on BBC America?

This 4-part mini-series is SO good. It's about the life of Ian Fleming.

I stumbled on it quite by accident this past Wednesday. I didn't realize it was a 4-week event. Part One is being repeated tonight at 11:00pm in my area. Here is the website. Check the schedule to see when it's on again in your area. 

I'm really upset that Sunday will be the finale of Sherlock. Didn't it just begin? BooHoo. I would have preferred 6 one hour episodes instead of 3 two hour episodes. How about you? At least I'll have Fleming to look forward to on Wednesday nights. Aren't you glad you have me to tell you what to watch?
