I set out today to meet my daughter Patty and to find the beauty in a rainy day.
Patty with her cheery umbrella…
Chatting over tea and coffee …
All of a sudden we could see sunshine…
So out we went to walk around Lafayette Village for a bit…
On the way home the skies darkened…
By the time I got home it was doing this…
Since I didn’t want to get drenched I sat in the car and took some pictures …
Success… I found what I was looking for

In nw New Jersey we got about 10 inches of snow, a drop in the bucket compared to the 3 FEET plus in other states.
5pm Friday night - 7am Saturday morning
To the west - to the east
Breakfast of coffee and oatmeal pancakes with Cookie Butter (thanks Deb).
And then the sun came out.
I hope everyone affected by what has been an historic blizzard, with over 3 FEET of snow in some areas, are safe and sound.

Five days without power. It all started on Saturday, Oct 29th.
This… turned into this…
and this… into a total of 14 inches of snow
and there are these…
and then while I was doing this at 4:39
this happened at around 4:50…
It was a dark and stormy night
and then came the morning, all sunny and sparkly…
Thanks to Deb’s foresight in buying
a percolator and manual coffee grinder we had..
coffee, and the crumb cake she made before the power went out…
For most of the days Chappy did this…
Two days later, on Tuesday Nov 1st I took my first walk around the neighborhood. A lot of trees had already been cleared but it looks like not one tree was spared at least some kind of damage.

Fridge was pretty much cleaned out and waiting to be restocked… hmm, where did that bottle of vodka come from !!
Some of the devices used for light during the dark, dark nights…
Five days was a challenge but at least we had a gas fireplace… a gas oven/range so we could cook on the top of the stove…and a gas hot water heater.
It’s amazing how much we take electricity for granted, and how many things in our daily lives don’t work without it. I hope the thousands of people in the northeast STILL without power get it back as soon as possible.
Power to the people
Think cool thoughts…
Everywhere you look parts of New Jersey are covered not only with snow but with ice.
The upper left window from the outside…
…from the inside.
Today is Tuesday, January 18th, the middle of the month, the heart of the winter and it is, in a word… yucky. Some snow/sleet/freezing rain/rain and gloom.
Oopsie, how did those two get in here? Wishful thinking !
Hot chocolate anyone
