A photographer's dream out there. Standing under the trees is like being in a snow cave. The branches almost reach the ground they are so laden with snow. I'm very proud of the dog and I as we are the first to leave tracks on the right of way this storm. And the greatest blessing of all is that there was no power cut.

A salmon and steel blue sunise has faded to pale lilac. The tide is high and the wind is rippling the water in the cove.

It's now 10 o'clock and the first snowflakes are falling just as the weathermen predicted. There is enough wind to cause the buoy bell on the porch to ring intermittently.

No snow or ice on the paper road that goes by the front door - hooray! But the snow is predicted again this weekend. Still it is so pleasant to walk up and down and not have to worry about slipping and sliding

The islands have disappeared behind a curtain of fog.

A bright sunny day with dogs and children down at the shore and melting snow all around

Thursday morning the 22nd.  Went to the park by the river and watched the ice cakes slowly circle in the current.  The mackerel sky echoed the color and shape of the ice in the river.

Bright sun and the tide's in at eight thirty am.  So nice to see the sun - we may have the privilege all week!
