Snow fun!

I'm a couple of days late but...Happy New Year!! We've had a little snow 20-24 inches in places.
That is quite a bit a once around here, usually rains off by now. We had a beautiful day for digging out. Yesterday we only had 1/2 the snow Ethan and I made a snowman for the critters in their field.

Max thought it was cool, he ate all the carrot decorations! Then stripped it of scarf and hat. He had great fun.

Cherokee thought maybe the carrots were on the inside, and totally destroyed it....gone in less than an hour~at least they had some fun....

Uma napping on her chilly friends.

It has been a long time...when we turn the computer on it says low disc space so I am not posting.

When we put our tree up last weekend we pushed the furniture aside and when we were finished and moved it around again this is what we found, Uma sound asleep on her snow friends, I took a few pictures so she woke up, but she was snuggled right down in. Now the snow people are under the tree again like last year! Merry Christmas!

Lest We Forget!

In Flanders Fields

by John McCrae, May 1915

In Flanders fields the poppies blow

Between the crosses, row on row,

That mark our place; and in the sky

The larks, still bravely singing, fly

Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

Loved and were loved, and now we lie

In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:

To you from failing hands we throw

The torch; be yours to hold it high.

If ye break faith with us who die

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

In Flanders fields.

My little Trick-or-Treaters!

This is my brother and his two kiddies, Rachel is 13 months old and Little Red Ridinghood, Bryan is 31/2 and is Chromastone, who is an action character off of Ben 10(?), my kids are growing out of cartoons, I don't know this particular show. It is 8o'clock and we had our 5 kids, the rest of the treats are ALL MINE!!!!!!!! Happy Halloween! Play safe!

Fall photos!

Notice that my title says Fall photos.....looks like someone had a fall...in the mud. The other side is clean! This first picture is of a brook that is at the edge of the property and is my Fall/Autumn photo! (I wanted Cherokee's picture first but..well...yea...next time, I will get it right) We had a lovely day on Sunday 17C and lots of sun, but we are back to single digits again, heavy frost thismorning...leaves are really falling...crunch crunch!

Lazy Day!

I haven't been on here in awhile, not much to write about.....just a lazy day!

Movie set in town!

There is a new movie being filmed in town..Moby Dick. William Hurt and Ethan Hawke are in it. I haven't seen them or anything, but it is exciting just the same.
This is a picture of a false building that was built in the middle of the street.

This is the back of the false building, see it is only the front. In the center of the building you can see another building with red trim, this is our Dory Shop Museum, that several years ago was refinished to film The Scarlet Letter, with Demi Moore, also on the right is an old warehouse that was also refinished for the Scarlet Letter. We enjoyed the movie but I guess it wasn't the hit elsewhere that they thought it would be.

A small two sided structure to cover our lost fishermen monument.

A really cute fully finished church, that was built for the new movie. Cute picket fence also new!

Front of the false building it says Nantucket Warf. The yellow building is our local tavern, and the movie people want to paint it, but that is another story.....They even covered our brick sidewalk with wood, they will also cover the road with dirt.

This is our 3rd big movie, seeing how they do things is kind of cool, makes you wonder when you watch tv what is real and what is put up and tore right down again.

They did a casting call but they were very specific, you had to have natural color long hair, a size 6 dress size. Yea right!!! Supposed to start filming this week, too bad I have to work. Maybe I'll get more pictures this week...stay tuned...
