To be sure, I'm not really shivering, and me timber is just fine. I am happy to repot that after such a busy schedule, things should be returning to normal finally. Light at the end of the tunnel after this week, with a huge visit from our companies creative director. Now, the weather could be a fly in the ointment. But I really don't care. I still have not given up the Snow Queen will not hit us with a huge storm. I have told her these plidy little snows are not up to snuff, and just will not do! Now today, into tonight we are suppose to get 5-10" . Now that's a little more of what I'm talking about. I love summer the best, but when I'm in my hibernation period, I do enjoy winter as I don't go out, and the snow is very pretty and very calming...as it just quiets the earth of any noise. And I love a good walk in it. Since I was off Friday, I went to see my good friend Doug, who I have been sitting for in the nude for his art portraits for a upcoming exhibit here. He is almost done and showed me several of the finished ones. They turned out very cool. After... I took a nice walk through town after our last two measly snows at weeks end...but still very beautiful.
The view early in the morning at my friend Doug's place. He lives right on the Delaware River. This is looking toward New Jersey. Getting snowed in at his place would be a blast.
This is the Benjamin Parry House, and dates back to 1787.
The waterfall at the playhouse is always a nice sound.
Mrs. Squirrel was looking extra dapper at Love Saves the Day...one of many whacky shops we have here.
Love Saves the Day mannequin grave yard...I call it.
I then walked through the cemetery on the way home. The opening picture is the memorial tower. It was quite pretty to hear the chimes at the top playing.
I then got home to enjoy a few of the usual suspects dinning and a few of the grouse where running around the courtyard.
They seem to love the berries and nut mixture. Have I mentioned that my seed budget is going through the roof this season?
Now I'm sitting here, getting ready to have a talk with the snow queen.
Gorgeous, really, but I'd be more apt to stay in and cuddle up with a good book.
ReplyDeleteI kid, I'd cuddle with Carlos.
Now listen tootes, even though I don't drive I don't want snow!!!! I would threaten to beat your ass, but you may like that!!!!
ReplyDeleteYour pretty's are so pretty though, I must agree. Your friends place must be very pretty there along the river.
Grouse! How cool is that? I can't even imagine your seed bill.
ReplyDeleteAnd when do we get a peak at the drawings Mistress. I have many questions about that. Like was it cold? Were you nervous? Do you get "excited"? How do you relax? See what I mean.
I took some picture to share very shortly. And to answer your questions. It wasn't cold, I was a wee bit nervous only because I'm the only one naked in the room. I did get excited twice, but probably because I was relaxed.
DeleteI'm sitting here reading your post as the snow has just started falling here in Philly. I can imagine your neck of the woods is very picturesque in the snow.
ReplyDeleteLol...love the squirrel lady.
I makes for a lovely walk when it's freshly fallen.
DeleteOh my, that that be cold posing in the raw along the river? Sure looks cold to me.
ReplyDeletefucking snow. gurl, we need another 3+ hour boozy lunch meetup; what say you? text me when you're free!
ReplyDeletePortraits? Do show and tell. Passed through Philly today, watching it snow in NYC.
ReplyDeleteSoon....
DeleteOooh, pretty, except for those creepy mannequins! I love the splash of red with the cardinal. We've been having transparent snow. We call it "rain". It's not as pretty, but I don't have to dig out my car to drive.
ReplyDeletePlease don't tease us with talk of portraits if we don't get to see them. Oh wait. It's your blog, do what you want.
Hold on to your brasserie...they are coming soon dear. I took pictures of the three he did.
DeleteYay!!!! I always love you Sunday posts. I don't like winter but do think the snow is pretty darn gorgeous. Of course we don't have to to anywhere, so let what may fall. That view alone the river is stunning!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's cold and flurried a bit this pm in NYC! Can't wait for a REAL snowfall either. I'm one of those people! hehe
ReplyDeleteAnd when the time is right, you and the Lad better pose for me for my next project.
It's cooooold and snowy here too! but not near as lovely as your views! I too enjoy a nice walk in the snow when no one else is out. Love the tower picture.
ReplyDeleteSnow, snowing and snow storm, I have to leave before I say something naughty about snow!
ReplyDeleteNow what could possibly be naughty about snow Steven? Must you teach me something new?
DeleteI love the little titmouse bird! I always think they are so cute. I love the snow and would love nothing more than to be in a cabin in your area right now. :)
ReplyDeleteOur seed budget has also gone way up.
ReplyDeleteAnd the birds also eat the squirrel food.
(Abby says stay away from squirrel places!)
Loves the cardinal. Right now we have redwing
blackbirds, starlings and goldfinches.
I love that picture of the cardinal, such a gorgeous color against that drab background.
ReplyDeleteYes, the cardinals are a lovely patch of color here...at least till spring arrives.
DeleteStay warm! Looks pretty there. I always enjoy your pictures.
ReplyDeleteIts been white and frosty in my postcode. Blooming awful really! When you get older it's more hard to enjoy that's for sure. I enjoy your pictures though...looks so pretty along that river. What a view...one can hear the quite.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to shiver your timber!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSnow and these picture is pretty, but I'll have to experience it one of these years.
What lovely winter view! The landscape looks marvelous, but the birds, in all their shapes, sizes, and colors, are the most gorgeous. How adventurous of you to bare your soul for art! Is the view of New Jersey wonderful? Just being riverside is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI like snow for the first day or two. After that, I miss the heat. Experienced a week long blizzard that shut down the city of Virginia Beach...should've been renamed Virginia Bitch-It's-F*cking-Freezing after that icy winter...
Right now, we're experiencing a brisk cold front. The weather may drop down to the 40s tonight. This means I'm using the comforter tonight. But the kitchen window stays open until it gets too windy or it gets down to the 30s.
Stays safe and warm!!!
It's looks lovely out there with the snow. I'm too low in elevation to get any where I live. I have to settle for rain. We've gotten so much of it in California, we're going to look like the set from the movie Waterworld soon.
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely photos and oooooo the birds! Love seeing your bird photos.
ReplyDeleteI spend too much on birdfood but it's worth every penny.
Hope the snow queen doesn't disappoint.......
Love the photos! Especially the ones of the cemetery and the ones of the birdies!
ReplyDeleteHopefully the snowmageddon won't be too horrible. We have had three snow days already here in Chi. Ugh.
XOXO
The bird brigade is beautiful. And look at that Cardinal - as scarlet as scarlet can be!
ReplyDeleteI've volunteered (in my younger days) to pose nude for artists - they said they preferred ladies (more curves made for more interesting shapes). Well, I never! Their loss, I say.... Looking forward to seeing some photos of yours.
So many beautiful photos (and I'm so glad I'm back again on the Mediterranean Sea)!
