Webster's Tuckered Out

He's dozing with his zebra right now. I'm thinking about tucking in pretty soon myself. I have things to watch on my DVR and Father Brown is on tonight too, followed by Scott and Bailey. I hope I can stay awake! What would we do without PBS?

Nice Afternoon Today @ My Cottage

Well, I'm happy to report the weather has made a turn for the better around here. It finally stopped snowing and I was able to get to the post office to pick up almost a week's worth of mail. The sun came out too and there were pretty white clouds in front of a nice blue sky. The temperature rose above freezing and it's now a balmy 37°. The snow people have flattened out in the Adirondack chairs and at this rate they will be melted soon. Hope you got some sunshine too!!! xo

Oh No to More Snow

It's snowing again but should stop soon, I hope. I feel like a broken record. Maybe I'll show you a big icicle later. How would that be for a change? Stay tuned!

PERFECT Antique Wood Stove

Click photo to Enlarge
I saw this amazing wood stove in an old house today. Don't you love the name? It's PERFECT.

This is a detail of the left door. The middle one is dated 1886. I can't imagine using a wood stove to cook on in the summer but it was just another day in the kitchen, back then. We have it so easy now, don't we? I say that after spending time hacking away at my driveway entrances with a pickaxe today. It was finally time to deal with the white stuff the snowplows left for me as I wait for more snow tonight. As soon as I recover from one storm, another one comes along. I haven't been to the post office since last Wednesday. Be safe and stay warm if you are getting snow too. xo

Still Digging Out

There is already a lot of melting going on this morning.
I think I will hack away at the deck on the balcony. I worked on it a couple of days ago and did everything that was touching the house and I rounded one corner. I want to work outside today so I will continue on this project. Yesterday's snow wasn't too bad, just a couple of inches. Just enough to be annoying. Enjoy your Sunday morning and I'll see you later. xo

738 is probably an outdated number. 737~You can't go wrong if you know how to make a good spaghetti sauce, can you?
