happy monday

Posted on Monday, March 1, 2010 in happy monday, nature, random

holy shmoley, what a weekend. us lucky northeastern dwellers got smacked up and down by 2 back to back snow storms. never in my life have i been so happy to see monday – monday with no snow! at evil designs we pulled down a nice 31 inches of cold mess which of course knocked out our power and cable hence the no posts. it was like snomageddon here. here are some photos below from the aftermath..

backyard view…thats our grill…and you can barely make out our retaining wall the snow is so high.

my diy stick-star escaped ok though.

since we had no power, we decided to take a rzr ride up to cragsmoor. here is the beautiful chapel of the holy name. they had to at least have gotten 3.5 feet of snow. it was literally a wall of snow. as you can see the snow is up to the windows. below is a summer photo to compare to.

more pictures of the chapel

then we took a ride up to sams point preserve. look at that snow drift up top…i can’t even tell you how large that is.

and in this last photo, can you find the dumpster?

i’d be a happy girl if this was the last storm we got this season. it was too much at once! anyway – have a happy monday.

natural raised garden bed

Posted on Wednesday, January 20, 2010 in design, diy, house + home, nature

other than the fact that i would give my left arm and leg for it to be warm out to even entertain this idea, but its simplicity and diy’iness just makes me day dream about it. yes, daydreaming about garden beds…whod’a thunk.

this is a picture from frost valley road in the beautiful catskill park. it was an amazing trip up on the bikes…for those local, as you know, it was very overcast yesterday, but as we went up through the park we reached beyond the cloud base and it was sunny and quite warm…like a different world up there.  so pretty. there are more pictures i will share, but will save them for a rainy or inspired day. as for now, have a great week.
