Last Friday At The Sunny... But Cold... Cottage....


I was surprised that there wasn't more snow!

You can see the dark clouds over the Lake in NY State...where they got 7 feet of snow!

Must have been blustery...lots of ice on the beach...

Zoomed in on my neighbours...waves must have been VERY high!


Lake was fairly calm as a NW wind...and the sun was glorious!

Looks like snow streamers across the lake...



there was more snow in the driveway...this is on the North side...
guess the winds were gusting from the south...

View from the car window...we got out of there just in time! Blizzard arriving!




Today is a kinda lazy day...

Again!

Miss V here as she had a wee fever...

She is resting now...

Perhaps Papa will get her out for a short walk...

If it isn't pouring rain!

VERY windy...

And quite warm...

16*c...

Hope Buffalo NY doesn't float away!



Hope you are all having a great day...

Finished up some more crochet...

Cabbage rolls for dinner...and a vegetable...will see what is in the fridge!

Tomorrow is only a high of 3*c...big change...again!

Kooky crazy weather...gotta get some decorating done!

Enjoy the rest of your day!

Cheers!   :o)

  1. Great series of photos of the cottage . . . . . very interesting the way the icicles formed from the high waves.
    Also considering all the snow in the area ~ what a let off .
    Boy, it looks really cold ~ real long John weather . . .
    The cottage seems to have a mystery all of its own and I can see why it beckons you to keep visiting . . . .
    Quite a nice day here with some sun which we have not seen for a fortnight. . . . . :)

  3. Love your snow cloud picture. I've never seen such dramatic snow cloud photos as in the last week.
    Hoping we don't get too buried this winter.

  6. The dramatic weather event has led to some remarkable photos, Linda. All are beautiful, and I particularly love the icicles. Clouds over the lake look very ominous indeed - glad you got away before the blizzard. Your cottage is certainly located in a beautiful spot. xo

  12. Hi Linda! Thanks for your message. It looks like you've got a lot of ice at the cottage but I'm so glad you didn't get all that snow. Buffalo is really having some trouble with all of the crazy weather. I hope you're having a good week so far.

  13. Such amazing photos, Linda. You are very creative. Love, love, love icicles. And that one of your neighbour's is spectacular. I also really like the one you took through the car window. Such a beautiful, eerie light to it - threatening, encroaching, enveloping. Can't stop looking at it.
    I think I may be blown to Oz tonight! Hope you are safe and snuggled inside with your man.
