Shut the Front Door ... Day 130, 131, 132, and 133 ... New additions and Mother Nature's ticked off again.

Day 130

Slightly cooler than the last several days but the green just keeps getting greener so ...

NO. COMPLAINTS. HERE. AT. ALL.

 

Day 131

Managed to forget to take a Front Door picture again.

Where is my mind?

 

But I believe I may have to start another blog.

You see, we seem to be evolving here.

So I have a riddle for you.

Which came first?

The chicken or the egg?

You guessed it.

The chicken.

From what I understand, there won't be any eggs for a little while yet.

 

Day 132

Of course Mother Nature must have gotten ticked off about something and picked Mother's Day to send temperatures plummeting back into the ice ages.

I had nothing to do with it.

I swear.

I sent her a nice card for Mother's Day.

Did you?

 

Nothing like mowing the lawn in full January blizzard combat gear.

 

Chickens didn't seem to mind the cold.

They were too busy checking out their new digs.

 

Merry Chris....

uhhh....

Happy Mother's Day?

 

Day 133

Anyone ready for a dip in the pool?

Just make sure you wipe the snow off your feet first.

 

By noon today the snow was gone (except for the misty flakes that were still falling from the sky) and a funky misty fog started rolling up the hill.

Kinda creepy.

 

I'm already looking forward to the warmer weather that's supposed to be back in our area by mid-week.

This cold is for the birds.

Or should I say for the polar bears?

 

 

 

 

 



Shut the Front Door ... Day 127, 128 and 129 ... Mother Nature puts on a show.

Day 127

A little late in the afternoon (a.k.a. ... almost forgot to take a pic today).

 

Day 128

Watching a storm pass over the valley.

 

I'm surprised to see that the daffodils are still hanging in there.

 

And...

Day 129

This was my view of the sky while driving home from Newport tonight.

Looking northwest from Rt. 12 in Remsen.

 

And this was looking west after I started up Starr Hill Rd.

 

I was just hoping to get home before the rain started.

Of course, the minute I parked my car, the sky opened up and I was drenched before I could get into the house.

 

After the rain the sky lit right up with a beautiful double rainbow.

 

Once the sun started to set, the second rainbow disappeared and the clouds were set on fire.

Mother Nature really knows how to put on a show.

 

 

Don't forget!

This Sunday is Mother's Day.

Stop on down to Newport Marketplace.

We have many, many beautiful items that Mom would love to have.

 

From Jewelry

to furniture.

 

If you can't decide, we have gift certificates.

 

 

 



Shut the Front Door ... Day 121-126 ... Too many days behind schedule

As you may have noticed lately, I've been dropping the ball on getting posts up every day.

Now I'm on the verge of missing out on a whole week of posts.

Shame on me!!

 

 

Anywhoo,

 

It's been 6,

count them,

6 days since my last post.

 

 

So...

Day 121

Was a beautiful day.

Yea!

 

Caught myself in the act of drive-by photography.

 

Day 122

Somehow missed that day completely.

Since I didn't take any pictures, I wonder if I somehow slept through the whole day??

 

Day 123

I don't have a front door pic for today.

But... I do have some really pretty shots of the sunset.

 

I was also attracted to all the shades of green that are starting to appear.

Spring.

Love.

It.

 

Day 124

I don't have an official (using that word loosely here) front door picture.

This is the same valley you can see from my front door but at an elevation that's about 1 mile lower.

 

The official enemy of summer drive-by picture taking.

Streaks left behind after several futile attempts to de-bug-ify the windshield.

 

Day 125

I have almost 2 dozen "inprocess" photos of furniture I'm working on.

And...I'm working on that furniture in the livingroom.

And...My livingroom is the front room in my house.

And...the front room of my house is where the "Front Door" is located.

Do I have 1 single "Front Door" picture today?

Yea, right.

I do know it was very sunny and nice because I was out on the deck while sanding on some of that furniture today.

Hmmm.

 

Day 126

Another beautiful day again today.

We have been so lucky this past week.

The grass and the trees are finally starting to green up very nicely.

 

Maybe I'll get a post up tomorrow.

Then again, maybe not.

If you are out and about in the Newport area, stop in and say hi.

I'll be at Newport Marketplace from 10-6.
