yesterday
storm's beginning
UPDATE - SNOW PLOW CAME THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON - ONE SWIFT SWOOP - AT LEAST ABLE TO LEAVE DRIVE - CAREFULLY - MAYBE TOMORROW ;)
just to let you all know i've not been away by choice at all - we are in the midst of a huge blizzard with more than 2-1/2 feet of snow out our front door - a lot of people are without power but ours has remained on for which i am so grateful - however, have had no cable or internet or land phones until about an hour ago [since friday] - entire state shut down basically - we have managed to clear the drive to the street but the street remains under all the snow as state and private plows all under emergency use for keeping main roads open - no private developments/neighborhoods have been plowed yet and no one knows when they will be - good news is that sun was out all day yesterday and is out today - beautiful - bad news is that another foot or more of snow expected to hit tomorrow into all day wednesday in this area all the way over to dc and into pennsylvania, etc - oh, and other bad news - now running out of basic necessity kinds of supplies -
please send saint bernards - chocolate, fresh fruit and wine appreciated!
now off to check out all your wonderful places while i still can - see you there!

The snow is so beautiful. I'm sorry you've been snowed in, though. I hope the sun shines soon! Blessings!
oh, wonderful wonderful to see you, marion! yes, it is an absolute wonderland of beauty, truly - the main problem for today's world is that communications and transportation are so intrinsically linked to things beyond our control and when those things are impacted upon - everything stops - but - if we can get out between now and the next storm to re-stock on basics, that will be great - and our area is so lucky not to have lost power when lots and lots around us are still without that - anyway - a beautiful day with the sun out today - temps about 20 degrees F so not bad - thanks so much for coming by - been so "lonesome" without all of you!!!
Ha, ha! If I were closer, I should bring myself some wine and chocolate. Take care.
oh, but marius, what are a few miles between friends??? see you soon, then! ;)
thanks for note, marius! just in time! i'm gettin' all lonesome and blue! [and white, with all this snow]
I remember snow days...I did some time in New Jersey! ha I was sipping hot chocolate as I was reading about all your streets still without plowing...look deeper in that cupboard...crackers, odd bits of chocolate morsels..do you have neighbors to exchange food etc? This is an amazing storm throughout the eastern states...take care!
oh, hello there - so you "did some time in new jersey" - well - then you do know - yes, amazing all the little morsels one finds in such cases - however, i'm going to attempt a trip out tomorrow before the next batch comes in - one snow plow did come out this afternoon - but now a thick crust of ice on street - no sand or salt left behind - anyway - so grateful to have power - so many don't - thanks so much for note - every little bit helps :)
Oh Jenean!!! That picture gave me the chills !!brrrrr..and I thought it was cold here..so sorry you are going thru that..stay warm..lots of hot drinks..and read..read ..read by candlelight if you have to.We used to have a cabin near Yosemite..and many a time I was caught in a storm could not leave the house and the only warmth was a wood burning fireplace ! we are expecting rains again here..weather has been so bad all over lately..Talk soon!

GW- I would very much like to share wine with you. Must we have the dog? Stay warm. ~rick
I am sending you my warmest thoughts. This year the winter seems to be very harsh all over the globe.;)
Take care and stay warm,
