9 March




This what my neighborhood looked like on Saturday...

and Sunday, and Monday and Tuesday, and most of Wednesday. 

They had to bring in the big pumps from the state to finally clear it all out. 

The big body of water that you are looking at is not supposed to be water!

It's my street, a parking lot, and a ball field!






My sister got good news about her cancer!

The results from the PET/CAT scan were good!

Thank God.


We were so fortunate that our house didn't flood

but we did get enough water in the basement to knock out the water heater.

The landlord has one on order but, as you can imagine,

they are in pretty scarce supply around here.

So....we have no hot water...I would so dearly love a hot shower. 


Wednesday afternoon when I came home from work they had cleared up

most of our street....

Just in time for another snowstorm on Thursday!

You can see the snow plastered against the window at my desk. 

We didn't get too much snow though.


I found a new yogurt that I like at the market.

It comes in a sweet little glass jar.

And, Tucker seems to like it too.

    I'm so sorry to hear about all the troubles you're having in your part of the country. Those pictures are just unreal. I can't imagine going without hot water for very long. Such a sweet little kitty you have there! And that yogurt in the glass jar is adorable, too.

    I'm glad your sister got a good report. Sorry to hear about all the flooding though. I hope you get the heating sorted quickly and there's not too much residual damage.

    Oh my goodness that is a lot of water. But you do live in a gorgeous area! So glad for the good report for your sister. Hope you've got your water heater by now (it's Tuesday as I type this). I've never seen that yogurt though we do have yoplait here. Maybe we'll get it soon.

    I am very late visiting this week! Wow, that's a lot of water. I hope your hot water heater is in now - I can't imagine going so long without hot water. So glad for the good test results for your sister!

First Snow

  Happy birthday to my beautiful daughter, Bonnie. She brings me so much joy. My first snow day of the year! I work at a Montessori school and we are getting our first big snow storm of the year so.... SNOW DAY!!  I made my own hummus last weekend. It was delicious. I added a little bit of turmeric along with the chickpeas, lemon, tahini, and garlic.  I plan on eating a more plant based diet this year. It's only been a week and I'm already feeling better. I did eat two slices of mushroom pizza last night and ended up having heartburn so it will be a good long time before I eat dairy again.  Each month one of our families brings in a bouquet of flowers.  We cut most of the stems off and place them on a tray which we place on the children's table.  We place another tray with a very small pitcher and a few very small bud vases.  The child fills up the pitcher using water from the bathroom sink, brings it back to the table and pours the water in a bud vase of their choosing.

Oh Little Town of Bethlehem

Image
  My daughter, Hannah's house is just so pretty. It's a large, Victorian era duplex with beautiful light. Some of the windows have been replaced but there are a few old leaded windows that are old and beautiful and the light is so soft that I am always taking pictures. This is an sweet old table that she picked up in her travels. She put some vintage Christmas ornaments in a terra cotta pot and next to that is a lemon tree plant. The whole thing sits under her kitchen windows. So pretty. My husband and I went to her house on Christmas morning. She served us delicious French toast and mimosas. ~  A friend of mine flew over Marblehead on her way home from vacation and had the wherewithal to take a photo.  It made me think of Oh Little Town of Bethlehem.  This year I was able to purchase a poinsettia through my church in honor of my mother. It was comforting to know that she was represented during the Christmas Eve Mass. I had a chance to rearrange the living room a little bit. I
