Stone Snowman

The weather warmed up considerably today and for much of the day it was colder inside than outside. 

We ran into this little dude when we were out on a wander

I'm at the end of a week off from work.  It was quite productive.  The next week should be a gentle easing back into the work life as Tuesday and Wednesday are both company holidays.

Holiday Cheer

Here is one of the ways that Westfield decks out for the holiday.  A good Shabbat to all!

One of These Things is Not Like the Others

On a visit to Morristown, NJ today we encountered Frank Morris and Buddy the original seeing eye.  Frank wasn't dressed for the weather but Buddy was fine.

A Walk in the Park

The park was quiet as I made my way to through the park this afternoon.  Just beyond the bridge ducks were frolicking.  I could get used to days like these filled with long walks, working in the library, and evenings to reflect on it all.

I Know it is Boring to Talk About the Weather...

We woke to another snowy day today.  I particularly loved the way the powdery snow clung to the Kudzu and the trees seemed to be huddling together for comfort

Sometimes you don't have to venture very far to find something extraordinary. 

Winter is still a week away

Frozen Backyard

We had our second snowfall within a week.  It thawed a bit and then froze giving the ground a wonderful sheen and creating stark reflections of the bare branches.  

It's been 2 years since I've posted last.  It's time to resume observing and commenting on the world around me.  Please do not hesitate to comment and share.

Welcome back!

Storm Aftermath

We spent the day cutting up the many branches that fell in our backyard after last week's storm. We dragged them to the curb and hope the town will pick them up tomorrow.
