My hydrangea bush gave me a few last blooms this past week and now they are shivering in the cold. We had our first snow last night and although it was pretty, I could’ve waited a bit longer to see it. I’m sure if my hydrangeas could talk they would agree. Winter is [...]
Took a walk down by the river yesterday and was lucky enough to happen upon some ducks. To spite the frigid temperatures they appeared to be enjoying life. I was happy to take a couple of photos and get back into my warm car. I bet they wished they could do the same, well… the [...]
There isn’t much scenery around here that isn’t snow covered. These waves looked more like they should be slapping against the beach instead of drifted in front of my garage. I sent my son and his best friend out to clear the 3 foot drifts so I could eventually get my car out of the [...]

That’s the theme for this week’s This is the granddog Fred. If ever there was a lick, this is it. I think dogs are the most amazing creatures; they give unconditional love. For me they are the role model for being alive. ~Gilda Radner
The color of springtime is in the flowers, the color of winter is in the imagination. ~Ward Elliot Hour Visit Susan at A Southern Daydreamer. She hosts Outdoor Wednesday
The first (real) snow inspired a walk where I found these berries looking all festive. I am not sure what kind of bush this is because it was covered in snow and belonged to a neighbor. I had never noticed it before but it jumped out at me with those pretty red berries covered [...]
