This is the view of the chairs taken from my bedroom window which is on the second floor from the back since I have a walk-out lower level. Can you see the two eyes and a nose buried in the snow behind them? This photo was on my Instagram.

Snow People
The snow arm on the right started to melt but froze before it could break off and fall to the ground. That's how cold it is!! I went out the back door with Webster after he ate his supper yesterday and waited while he walked all the way to the rear of the property and back for the first time in weeks. I still can't go with him because of the ice layer that caves in and makes walking so difficult. I was finally able to get close to these chairs for a head-on shot instead of a photo from my upstairs window. Be safe. Stay warm. I'm off to an office meeting this morning. xo

Recent Deer Sighting Here at The Cottage
A family of four deer took a shortcut through the rear of my property but I only captured two of them with my camera. I don't see nearly as many deer as in previous years. It's always thrilling to see a buck with a big rack.
Oh, by the way, here's another PBS TV show I like. It comes on up here right after Father Brown. It's called Scott and Bailey....two modern day lady detectives in London Manchester. I've only seen one episode and I liked it. I told a friend about it and she saw the episode she missed on YouTube. Look it up and see if you like it too. xo
Webster's Watercolor
Here he is again this morning, in watercolor form. Someone requested a portrait and I loved the photo I used for this transformation with the Waterlogue App. He had a big hot breakfast of kibble with some hot cubed potatoes left over from my homemade soup. I cooked more than I needed so he could have a good human treat over his Trader Joe's Kibble. He LOVED it. The kitchen was still cold as the heat hadn't yet kicked in, and his bowl was really steaming. I have my coffee, so we are both content in our cottage. Tabitha too. xo

Webster, The Depressed Dog
Picture this very scene with darkness and a fine snow falling pretty hard. It just started about an hour ago and we already have an inch or so. It's slippery too as Webster and I both found out when we went out for his last bathroom run until tomorrow. Doesn't he look depressed as he walks past our snow fort? I took a big clean blanket out of the dryer for him and that did the trick. He and his zebra are drifting off the dreamland and he looks very content. I have my TV shows all lined up for the night and the DVR has been set.
One more thing. One of my PBS stations started airing FATHER BROWN, Season One last Wednesday Tuesday. Episode One has something about The Hammer in the title. It's being repeated after midnight tonight -- this is Monday morning 2/10 from 1:00am - 2:00am. It's very good. It takes place in the Cotswolds in the 1950s. A Catholic priest who wears a big brimmed hat and rides a bicycle solves the crimes of the village. Take a look and see if you can find it in your area. You'll like it, I'm sure! Have a Good Downton Evening. xo

Sunday morning coffee
Here's what I'm drinking at the moment, hot coffee in my favorite cup with soy milk. I'm still loving the Waterlogue App for transforming my photos into watercolors. I'll see you a little later with the cover of the Clans and Tartans book and the pages for MacDonald per special request from Heather. What a perfect Scottish name! xo
