Sunday Sundog

Just before sunset on Sunday afternoon, a sundog appeared in the western sky.  The scientific name, parhelion, means "beside the sun."  This one is to the left of the sun and at the same level  as the sun on the horizon.  If you are ready to see, something wonderful appears every single day. 

W is for WOOD

 

I think that he is looking at me.  And this is only the first load.  Oh well, in Vermont in the winter, a gal is as happy to have wood delivered as she would be if he were bringing flowers or diamonds or a horse.  If you believe that, then there is this an old green bridge in Bethel that I'd like to sell ya' ...........because he is looking at me for HELP.  : > (

 

Puzzle Time

The weather is snowy and blowy.  It's a good day for  a puzzle.  This one is an artist's view  of Times Square in NYC.     My strategy--  First I turn over all the pieces and sort out the four corners (in the lower left corner) and the border pieces in (lower right corner.)  All the other pieces are waiting for their turn.  What I love about solving a puzzle is how many details of the art that I see when I reconstruct it piece by piece.

Robins and Apples and Snow in February

When I first looked outside this morning, I thought that the apples were rolling around under the tree.  Then I realized that it was robins.

The next  picture reminds me of Where's Waldo?

My new mittens

On Friday, I went shopping at Tattersalls in Rutland and bought a new pair of mittens.  The brand, Lost Horizon, is made in Tibet.  They can be peeled back (thumbs too) so that the tips of my fingers are free to use the camera, jot down some notes or toast a marshmallow.  They are super warm because they are  lined with fleece.  I wore them on Sunday when we walked down to our cabin site and cooked a picnic lunch over a fire and wished that this  mythical cabin could build itself.
