Will your animals be scared or calm?
Hiding under the bed or looking out the window?

Midnight Walk on New Year's Eve


My wish for you in 2011.
"May ye niver want aught nor a friend to share it wi ye."

This is an original work of art from an early 20th century Christmas Card I found in a desk. The grandchildren of the original owners did not want the contents of the drawers and the desk was full of wonderful ephemera.

Riding A Pig to Bring in The New Year

To each his own. This wouldn't be my choice of ways to ring in The New Year. How will you be celebrating? Happy New Year!

Happy New Year

Wishing you all a very Happy New Year full of all good things and the ability to cope with the rest. Don't you love this vintage match book? Are you staying up late tonight? See you next year!

Snow Shadows and A Napping Dog



I still haven't taken my camera outside to do any serious snow photography. These were taken from inside the house. Webster sneaked back to bed this morning after his walk for a nap in my unmade bed. I had to leave the house before he was ready to get up so it's still a rumpled mess.

I had to wait in line forever to get my drivers license renewed today at Motor Vehicles. They said it was the busiest day of the year. I wasn't aware that they had closed the satellite office in Morristown until I went there yesterday and found all the windows covered with brown paper. At that point it was too late to drive to the main branch 30 minutes away. Oh well, I got in some good people watching today. The fashion police would have had a field day.
