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?

Farm Gate at My Cottage

The metal part of this gate was knocked down by a fallen tree during Hurricane Sandy. I pushed it back up as best I could and decided to let the wild roses, grape vines, and various other weeds take over. My plan is working. Can you see the cut remnants of the tree? They are only visible in the winter. I pushed them around so I still have a walking path but the tall weeds hide them in the summer. The blue skies have gone and are replaced by gray this morning. We are supposed to have rain tomorrow. Back to my coffee now; see you later. xo

Dark Blue Skies and Free Bird Seed at My Cottage

This was the dark blue cloudless sky over the cottage this morning. The rusty colored tall foliage that fringes my property is a wonderful food source for the birds in this frigid weather.

Bird tracks in the snow. My tall weeds are in this area and the birds are eating the seeds. I never thought of them as a food source until this year. When I went out with Webster after breakfast there was lots of birdsong in the air and it really sounded like spring even though it was very cold. There were birds hopping around everywhere foraging for seeds. I have an endless supply too. The tall weeds on the bank and all around my property provide good cover for the small birds so they can eat in peace and not worry about the hawks.
Enjoy your evening and I'll see you tomorrow. xo

Who's Afraid of The Big Bad Wolf?

Oops, sorry. It's just Webster. The shadow looks scary, doesn't it?
We are getting ready to take the last walk of the day. Enjoy your evening. Hope you are at home where it's safe and warm. I'm sure some of you have been through a tough ordeal. xo
PS...We just got back and the starry sky was beautiful!!!!!

A Little Humor to Brighten the Day

He's taking his time so I guess nobody is home to scold this dog or clean up the mess before he's through eating it. I can see Webster doing this only he never would do anything bad when I'm not home. He does like to steal the cat food though. via
