Sticky Buns and Snow!

Day 8/365
I'm back from my long weekend up North. Friday morning we left at 5 am. We had breakfast at the Woodstock Inn in Woodstock NH. One word.....delicious. If you are ever in the area, you must stop here for breakfast. All I can say is the sticky buns that they put down on your table as soon as you arrive are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!
After we filled our bellies we headed West on Rte 112. The higher elevations were so beautiful as the snow was still on the trees. There were low clouds and fog dancing along the mountain tops. It was breathtaking.

It's funny.....we had so much snow here this winter that I never thought I would want to see snow again. But this was different. It was beautiful and a reminder of why I really do like snow!

So I am now going to write another blog post so please scroll down. I am trying to catch up on the days I missed while away.

Tulips

Day 7/365

The tulips from the other day revisited:

                                                             "Lean On Me"

"Spring Gathering"

I will be going away tomorrow and won't be home until Sunday. The good news is I should be coming home with some nice photos to share here on the blog. The bad news is I'm not sure that I will be able to post until at least Sunday. I will try to post if I can....so if you don't see any blog posts over the weekend, don't fret. I'll post when I can and will make up for any missed days.

One week down of posting daily. :-)

Sap buckets, Springtime, and New Pants

Day 6/365

Today I took my father to the mall to buy some pants. He was so happy with his new pants. It's amazing what makes a 92 year old man happy. It's the little things in life. Actually, it's true that it's the little things in life that really make us all happy anyways, right?

So after the pants buying extravaganza, we went for a ride up through the Blue Hills. Today was a lovely Spring day where it actually feels like early Spring outside. I stopped at Brookwood Farm and took a picture for today's blog using my cell phone. This is more or less just a snapshot, but it's a preview of things to come really soon. Hint hint.........I'm going to VT in two days for a three day weekend. Can't wait! I'll be posting many more maple sugar type shots when I come home.

"The Three Musketeers"

Spring Reminders

Day 5/365

Bought myself some tulips at Whole Foods the other day. They are starting to open up.

It still doesn't look like Spring outdoors, but these flowers are a nice reminder that Winter is over !

Hairy Grandson

Day 4/365

Call me crazy but for some reason I think my "Grandson" Stanley needs a haircut....

But we love him anyways.

What Is Love?

Day 3/365

Love is family!!
 While I was at work today, my family (minus Jay because he was working too!) attended the St Patrick's Day Parade in my hometown. They walked down to the parade from my house......and when I got home from work I started working on dinner. Here they are coming up the driveway on their way home from the parade:

We celebrated Miss J's birthday today with cake and ice cream for dessert.

Family.....it's all we need!!!!!!

Pretty Gull

Day 2/365

The second day of Spring has brought a little more snow, a little bit of rain, and some grey skies. I'm looking forward to some sunshine and prettiness. (Is prettiness even a word?) I don't know if it is a word, but I'm sure you know what I mean. This gull is as pretty as it gets today! I hope you are enjoying your weekend!
