Good Morning fresh From My Camera

This is practically live. Only moments from my iPhone to you. We survived the wrath of mother nature and are bracing for more. I actually heard one of the weather reporters talking about 3 feet of snow and 2 converging storms coming up. Guess I should start sharpening my snow shovels. They almost never get it right, so I'm not worried. See you later.

Doc Martin Season 6 Episode 1 Tonight on PBS

In my area tonight is the premier of Doc Martin Season 6, Episode 1 at 9pm on one of the PBS stations. I would have missed it completely because it's not marked NEW. Luckily, my friend Victoria got it in Virginia last Saturday night and she told me the title of the new season's premier episode was SICKNESS AND HEALTH
Wedding bells are ringing for the Doc and Louisa. But will the marriage finally go ahead? The Doc is irritated by PC Penhale, who wrongly presumes he is best man, plus Louisa is late... The Reverend has his doubts as to whether she will turn up, putting Martin on edge. But she does, looking beautiful and at long last they tie the knot.
Sounds good, doesn't it? Can't wait!!! Here is the episode guide so you will know what to look for.

My Snow Cottage

I took this photo of my cottage yesterday at dusk, about 5:30. Right now, there is snow plowed up and over my brick wall just beyond the cast iron rooster. I'm so lucky that the county does such a great job on my road and my driveway man lives about 7 houses away. I have done the front walk myself. As long as there is power, I am fine. I can see icicles on the lines but they aren't sagging. There is always the worry of a tree limb snapping but I think everything was trimmed pretty well after Sandy. I think I'll be fine. I'm going to catch up on all of my TV shows now. See you later. xo

Deep Sleet at My Cottage

Yikes! This is what Webster and Tabitha had to plow through this morning. My walk was perfectly clean when I went to bed last night and boy was I shocked when I opened the front door. I thought it was just raining but it's a rain and sleet mix about 6" deep. I have to go out and knock it off the two giant boxwood at the end of the walk. This stuff is way too heavy for them. I hope none of their thick woody stems have split, fingers crossed.

Be safe and don't go out if you don't have to.

Webster Bids You Goodnight

The wonder dog and I had a very busy day and it's time to hit the hay. He's already sawing logs and I'm about ready to watch some TV in the bedroom. See you tomorrow. xo

View from My BR Window This Morning

Here comes the sun. It's very cold (12°) and very pretty. The animals have been out alone for morning relief and Tabitha has had breakfast but Webster has not. He's napping on the sofa while the oatmeal is cooking. The road outside is black and I have done my personal cleanup. I still need to work on my car a little more. I cleaned it off in a big hurry yesterday when my man came to plow the driveway. I measured my front walk before I shoveled and there was 8 inches of snow. Today everyone can recover and get ready for the next snow tomorrow. We are having a REAL winter this year. I'm fine with it as long as I have power. Be safe and warm and I'll see you later. 

I call this one "Snow Angles" as in architecture. It won't be long before the snow on the railing melts.

Snowday for Webster

We got at least 8" of snow today. We are both glad it finally stopped so we could get plowed out and shovel our walk. I'm always happy when the snow doesn't continue into the night. Today was a perfect snow day for Webster and me. Tabitha went out but didn't stay long. She isn't a fan.
