Dawn rising and tinting the last of the snow in Middleburg pink on the way to work.

A train coming from the left at the railway crossing in Marshall this evening.

Powdery snow blowing off of Stuart on thexwayvto work this morning, after yet another frigid night with more snow falling.

It's just one of those days that because it's so cold outside and cozy inside you can't help but be dozy.

Love the bits and pieces at my chiropractor. Love him too, he's done wonders on my back.

Missed by a couple of minutes I think, and wondered how on earth they ended up hitting the sign, but then I turned the corner and passed another vehicle that had been hit. Luckily no one seemed to be badly hurt.

The fading afternoon in Marshall through Stuart's grubby wind screen.

The last rays of the sun shine on an etched flower of a vase in the window.

A view through the kitchen window. We didn't get the multiple inches we'd been expecting but a lot of it has been blown into drifts. It's going to continue through the night and the winds are ferocious. Really living the wood stove tonight.

This beautiful sunset is the calm before the storm as we await snow and freezing temperatures tomorrow. The supermarket in Marshall was like Armgeddan and while we stood in line a firefighter from The Plains told us we were getting 9-11" with the mountains getting over a foot. Gulp!!!!

A block and tackle hanging in my house, no idea why, I just liked it.

I was suddenly aware, after having been back at work for a week, that I didn't have a 2014 calendar, so I quickly knocked one up using my photos of Meadow House and got it printed. I love it!

Sweet breads and veal hearts. Yuk! But I do like a nice kidney or liver. Lots of fresh unprocessed local meats at our IGA, just can't handle these...

I made a little pet monster in Photoshop in my lunch break. Ain't he cute?

Found this welcome gift from Joe on my desk this morning. What a nice way to start the week!

So much rain last night and today, he local creeks have all busted their banks.

Friday, January 10, 2014

A cold rainy drive home at the end of the week but it's not getting down because the most important thing is, it's the end of the week! Roll on sleep in tomorrow!

Using low light and a slow shutter speed on my iPhone to my advantage I twisted the phone around as I took this shot of a piece of fabric. Pretty cool effect!

Saw this really cool bear painting at my framer's shop today but there was no way Beth would sell it, so I'm thinking it shouldn't be too hard to copy...

As the temperature drops down to a single digit, Kota Kat and Rosie Lee snuggle deeper into their fluffy fleeces and blankets. Are they spoiled or what?

Sunday, January 5, 2014

A second trip to complete the full exploration of all the buildings at the abandoned hospital in MD.

Kota Kat spent a lot of today snuggled up in his fleece looking very cute. Aaaw.

View through the cat flap, and the ramp is iced up. No pussy cat outdoor activities today.

Mum's presents finally arrived but of course they were well worth waiting for. So nice to sit and unwrap them in front of the fire while the snow falls outside and the night falls. This is some of the pretty English wrapping paper but Mum's an avid Sellotape fan so I was unable to save the sheet!
