Snowy Saturday

We awoke to this.

Snow warms my heart!

This blizzard didn't give us as much as the one before Christmas, only about half.

On the outside looking in.


And then the day ended with a sudden & glorious sunset!

(These are slightly out of order! This and the next photo should appear at the end).

(Dern blogger, lol!)

I gasped when I looked out of the living room window and saw this sky!
(So unexpected!)

I ran out onto the porch without putting my jacket back on to take these!

And while I was in sweat pants & my faux uggs, I was also in a short sleeved t-shirt so I was fairly red & numb when I finally went back inside but this sunset was so beautiful, it was worth it! (These are the actual colors of that sunset, I didn't change the photo's at all except to crop a few).

I hope everyone is safe and enjoying their weekend no matter what your weather has been like since yesterday! (Be careful tomorrow too!)

A quick update: Sis.in.law is Very Happily settled into her new home at the assisted living facility she choose down in FL! She moved in this past Monday & I spoke with her this afternoon and I don't remember the last time I heard her sound so good! I'm so glad! We are very relieved.

Also, new pics over at NewJerseyThroughMyEyes.

LoL, thank you Cindy! I enjoyed taking them!

I'm very much doing the happy dance for SIL too! It's such a relief to hear her sounding so good and to know she's in a place where she will be looked after on a daily basis.

2nd Annual Practical Magic Blog Party 2011 is Here! *Updated*

It's time for the 2nd Annual Practical Magic Blog Party created & hosted by the wonderful Anna of Frosted Petunias ! My sincerest apologies for getting this up rather late! The adventure that is post Hurricane Irene cleanup & repairs has been taking up too much time recently. (sigh) Things are a mess; I only started decorating for Autumn yesterday and I'm missing Halloween decorations! Luckily my broom is always safe and sound by the front door so at least I don't have to wonder where it is. (Not that it hasn't been known to scamper off now and again - naughty broom). I was afraid, quite honestly, that I wouldn't even get a post up sometime today! I kept hitting dead ends with every other one I tried. But, this morning I sat here at the computer and it flowed. Thankfully! I would have been so disappointed if I'd missed this, it was such fun last year! As some may remember from last years party, while I like the movie, (and love that house!), I love the...

The Time Is Upon Us Once Again!

Welcome Friends! It's time once again for A Fanciful Twist Halloween Party ! Warmest thanks to the lovely Vanessa for hosting again this year. My apologies for not having this up sooner, I've been dreadfully under the weather and my helpers have been more of a hindrance! My lovely kitchen witch Helvetica has given up time off and has been cooking & baking away since last night but the skeletons have been eating everything in sight (damn their bottomless stomachs!) though they won't fess up and the invisible man has been raving on and on every time the door bell rings! I do hope you'll enjoy your visit to Pumpkin Manor and have a Happy Halloween ! I look forward to your return. (Slideshow below - if it plays too fast, hover your cursor on it until the <- -> appear & click on them to view what you've missed).

11:14pm (3/16/09) Watching a documentary Tennessee is so beautiful Head & nose all stuffy Out of ZyrtekD - sigh Want to read but distracted by my clogged head Hubby's snoring a little, restless a lot I worry about him He's so tired, works so much Doesn't get to do what he enjoys often enough (If at all) He willingly took my burdens & made them his own I'm still not used to being taken care of Makes me uncomfortable, guilty I took care of things for so many years Are 2 persons "stuff" too much for 1 person? Even a good, strong man? I know what it is to do more than my "fair share" Though the situation was completely different Is the end result the same?
