Drip Drop

These photos were taken in May by my son, Brandon.  He was working on a school photo project, which was to take a picture capturing a dynamic black and white.  Brandon didn't like the way these photos turned out in black and white and never used them in class.  I like the photos just the way the are.  They capture the rainy month of May that we had.

We've gotten a huge amount of snow this winter.

I don't know how the little birds can stay warm enough to survive.

I have a birdhouse hanging from a tree in my front yard.

Look closely. Do you see the little bird perched on a branch?

White Christmas

The day before Christmas it snowed a few inches.  

We haven't had a white Christmas since I was a little girl.

This is the view I woke up to on Christmas morning.

Hurricane Sandy

This week I've been getting quotes and estimates for the siding damage to my home during Hurricane Sandy.

My neighbors shutter was taken off by the wind and hurled into the side of our house.  It's amazing what a hole in the siding it caused.  Just by a vinyl shutter!

Minor damage was from other debris. 

Our damage is nothing compared to what the majority of east coast residence are going through.

My Blogger Friend Hilary from Feeling Beachie has been evacuated from her home. She is staying with her husband's brother, but he suffered flood damage too.

Please keep my friends and other hurricane victims in your prayers.

Batten down the Hatches!

As Hurricane Sandy approaches we have been getting ready for the worst storm that we have seen in this area in years!

We tied down the two gazebo's that we have on the upper and lower decks.

My husband finally took in the furniture this morning.

Fresh batteries and candles on hand.

All the Halloween decorations are back in the house!

Stocked up on drinks, dog food, eggs, milk, bread and other normal staples that you need during a storm.

The dogs are at my feet, shaking.. Poor babies are so scared!

Sandy is colliding with a winter storm coming from the Northwest Arctic.  The major part of the storm is supposed to hit us around 6pm, which has been moved up from 2am.

As of 3pm EST we are in a Hurricane Category 2 Alert with winds (they say) getting up to 90 mph.  It's extremely windy outside my house, but I doubt its at 90mph and I hope it doesn't get that way!

This is looking outside my family room. 

The rain is coming down so hard you can hardly see out of the windows.

I will keep you posted (as long as I have electricity). 

Love you all!
