Main Street in the snow

The snow we got last Wednesday was just enough to make things look pretty on Main Street:

Main Street in the snow

Alchemy’s already cool sign is made even cooler by the snowflakes and snowy branches around it, which make it look warm and inviting.  I’ve only eaten there once so far, but it was on a cold winter evening, and it really was cozy inside – and the food was great too.

Beautiful Winter Morning

The light dusting and the light this morning was beautiful! Coconut had fun playing in the first snow of the season in Oak Grove Cemetery. So peaceful!

Jenn Cullen Reminds Us of a Time Not So Long ago when It Snowed On April Fools Day

Hey Joey,
Since I forgot to send you this originally, thought it might be a good idea to remember a few short months ago when it snowed on April Fools Day…I sure wouldn’t complain about some of the white powder falling right now!  Though I mainly resented it then….perspective is a wonderful thing, huh?
This was just taken with my BlackBerry, but finally got a decent digital camera, so will be sending you more current pics from your FOB down the Fort.

Maria’s Pizza – A place to Eat during the storm – Video

We took a walk during the storm last night.  Found Marie’s Pizza open.

Chris Moody was ready to close up, but he made us a pizza, and we sat and talked.

Enjoy Video

How to make Snow Angels

Coconut shows us how to make snow angels (really she just doesn’t like wearing her winter coat). Please excuse my sniffle sounds 🙂

Public Service Announcement

When you lose power call 1-800-465-1212 for National Grid.  Put it in your cell phone now and don’t think that your neighbors will call it in because they are thinking the same thing. I am currently in Wayland just west of Boston and the dreaded purple lightbulbs of NationalGrid power outages is creeping towards me from the coast.

My backyard now with wine bottle added for scale:

Those weak ass white pine branches will be snapping this afternoon. Shoot, the lights just flickered … WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!

Oh wait, lunch is ready.
