Gargoyle Cat on my lovely kitchen window sill, you know, to keep a watchful eye over the Casa and ward off evil spirits.... almost buried.
Today was a beautiful snow day for many here, and I know coming off the holiday and festivities it was a surprise treat for a three day weekend, but truly enjoyed myself with much needed R&R.
So, like a fool , I do get crazy at times, decided to go out and frolic in the powder and for today's walk I was layered up to the gills, and Buster was chomping at the bit to get out , as he LOVES THE SNOW!
Then it was off for a winter's walk....
the courtyard here....
getting ready to get wiley in the snow....
...and bolts....
...tries to write his name in the snow, to no avail.
*buster says he is appalled I included this snapshot*
Buster with his tongue out trying to get snowflakes. As Lucy Van Pelt would say, "January snowflakes are best."
Something very tranquil about snow covered pine trees. Some nice shots along the path on the grounds, very The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe......
Buster loves going in under the pine trees.....
and then the snow fell...not happy....
Walking back to the Casa I noticed these freezing gems, and lots of them, in a white birch.......
Did the Mistress have to many hot toddies before the walk?!?!?
or are these indeed , yes, are these ........ ROBINS!!! Punxsutawney Phil hasn't even been about yet.
It was very odd indeed, and I have never seen so many at once and this time of year??? Mother Nature is confusing us all...
came across these wonderful winter berries........
A perfect treatment for atop the bar, since the Christmas finery left....clean and simple!!! And I just thawing out me hands and feet, among other things.
Hope everyone is ready for a restful+cozy weekend? Tootles!
Wow, some beautiful shots! Boys will be boys peeing in the snow!!! Like seeing the snow but you guys can have it. Meanwhile do you need a hand with the thawing out?
ReplyDeleteLike I said in previous post, I have the most helpful readers, always willing to lend a hand. You TOO kind Cali-Boi.
DeleteThere is only one use for ice, and that is in GIN... Jx
ReplyDelete*runs to get two old-fashions*
DeleteBuster's antics are hilarious!
ReplyDeletedon't go where the huskies go
ReplyDeleteand don't you eat that yellow snow!
the yellow snow AIN'T lemon water ice!
Glad you got some time to enjoy the snow. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's cooooold and snowy here in DC! but not near as lovely as your views! Buster is beyond cute!!!! ROBINS?!?!? I can't believe it!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's cold and snowed alot downtown last night and today! Can't wait for a REAL snowfall. I'm one of those people! Love the shots of you and Buster. I can't believe you saw Robins... hehe
ReplyDeleteMistress! You certainly live the life, don't you? I only work blocks from work so I had to go in, and hated going out in that COLD! My day wasn't nearly as interesting or pretty. Lovely pictures
ReplyDeleteI must admit it was sooooo nice to stay in a warm bed, and not in the 5:30am cold, cutting air to warm the coach up!
DeleteI don't know whether to be more shocked by you knowing Lucy's last name as Van Pelt or those robins!!!!!! Those winter berries look so sharp in that urn. I can never think of stuff like that to do.
ReplyDeleteLucy was my favorite from the Peanuts, and I didn't even know that.Beautiful pics you took, cutie!
DeleteHappy (warm!) weekend!
The photo of the snow laden pines with the sun burst....simply beautiful. And did I ever tell you how sexy your hands are? Well, they are! Meow!! ;)
ReplyDeleteI agree! There is just something about a good sexy pair of hands.
DeleteHave you two been in my special stash? Why thank you both! I have never noticed hands before. Thank you Cory for the comment , the sun burst was my favorite too.
DeleteBeautiful pics! The only snow we get in this area is... oh, never mind. That's another kind of snow.
ReplyDeleteI see that much crack, and I think I'm in a bad neighborhood.
DeleteI showed your winter pics with Jr. He had a good giggle over the "yellow snow". Thanks for sharing!!!
ReplyDeleteand I bet Jr. is just as wiley as Buster is?!?!
DeleteSo glad that you had a wonderful time in the snow:) What a beautiful views:) ROBINS, I thought I was drunk too. Hugs and kisses,
ReplyDeletestay warm! looks pretty there. I am so ready for spring!
ReplyDeleteIts been white and frosty in our postcode too. Blooming awful really! Love Buster and his looks, he is too funny! and who would have thought robins? Does Mother Nature know something we don't? Loving your jacket too.
ReplyDeleteThe snow is pretty here, but after the first full day, it needs to melt, can't stand dirty snow. You two make the day look fun, great shots! The berries look right at home!
ReplyDeleteIt's gotten cold here, but no snow yet. I wish it would. If it's gonna be cold, it might as well snow. Love the touch of the berries, they seem to compliment your color scheme! Wonderful pictures
ReplyDeletewow! the views from here look spectacular! and very nice cold weather gear, you look great as always, I love the black jacket and the boots. And buster!!!!
ReplyDeleteinteresting that you should mention robins.....
ReplyDeletein the past two weeks, our friendly neighborhood hawk has
ripped apart two robins in our backyard- all in plain sight.
ah, nature.
What a great post, now lets get you warmed up!
