A pretty afternoon. The temperatures were up and the sun was shining brightly at Caddy Park near Wollaston Beach.

Morning Light - Day 285

This morning the light was lovely hitting the fence along the driveway.

The Day After - Day 284

The lawn at the birthplace of John Adams was covered in snow this afternoon. The snow makes you think of how his house would have looked during the 17 hundreds.

It's Finally Over - Day 283

I don't like days without electricity. But thank goodness for the gas fireplace to keep us warm and a gas stove for cooking. The house was so quiet. We did get it back after 13 hours.

Snowing in Quincy - Day 282

It looks like the weathermen were right about our snow storm today. It isn't going to stop snowing until tomorrow night unless it turns to rain on the South Shore. If it stays as snow we could get 8-12 inches. I am so glad to be watching it from a warm home with plenty of wine and food.

Pugsley Likes Presents - Day 281

What a lovely Christmas I had. Isn't Pugsley santa suit great that Jen made. Last night had a delicious dinner at Jen's and Bill's the best way to celebrate Christmas eve. Dan and my mother stayed over night at our house afterwards which was nice. This morning we all got together early to open presents at our house. Had a nice dinner of roast beef and plenty of desserts. It was a full day.

Would You Believe- Day 280

Here it is Christmas eve and we forgot to get cat food for Cleo so off to Stop & Shop. Can't believe how we had gotten so low on cat food.

Santa Waiting - Day 279

This wooden Santa is waiting for Christmas near the fireplace. I never noticed how human his face looked until I took this picture of him today.

Wooden Bench- Day 278

My bench in the side yard is starting to be covered by the ivy coming over the fence. It does look pretty with the snow on it. I will have to trim some of the ivy back in the Spring.

First Day of Winter (Solstice)- Day 277

I had a 8:45 am doctors appt. this morning and found the yard covered in snow. George was so good to me, he had cleaned off the car and turned on the heat. All I had to do was drive away.

First Snow is Falling - Day 276

It's getting to look like Christmas. The kissing ball on the deck is getting a dusting of snow right now.

One Boat- Day 273

Someone must be living on this boat to have it still docked at Marina Bay in December.

Marina Bay - Day 272

It was a beautiful cold sunny day today. George took me around town looking for today's photo. We went over to Marina Bay in Squantum. Most of the boats are gone until next Spring but the skyline of Boston was perfectly clear.

Corfu, Greece -Day 271

I can't think about going out in the cold again today( it isn't good for the camera). So I am remembering the beautiful Island of Corfu Greece. If Jet Blue flew there I would go this afternoon.

A Venice Morning - Day 270

Still remembering Venice. When we arrived by ship it was at sunrise and found that the city was just waking up for the day.

Harrah's Casino - Day 259

Make sure you get a Total Reward's card when you go to Vegas. We called Harrah's New Orleans about a room rate and they comped us 3 nights at the W and we could use our Vegas points for two steak house dinners for George and I at two great restaurants and the breakfast buffet for all five of us.

New Orleans - Day 258

We just got home from a wonderful trip to New Orleans with the kids. The weather was perfect 78 yesterday. Arriving to Boston's 32 was a killer. We stayed at the W hotel right next door to Harrah's Casino and across the street from Fulton Street that is decorated for Christmas. They even shoot snow flakes in the air to give the feeling of Christmas.

Supper - Day 257

Tonight was meatball pizza night from Gennaro's.

Spindles - Day 256

The spindles made into the front gates at the Adams Mansion truly adds to the gates splendor.

Hanover Library- Day 255

The exhibit at the Hanover Library came down today. It was a beautiful showing of the talent of South Shore Camera Club members.

Pick a Toy - Day 254

So many vendors were at the parade today. It looks like so much work blowing up all those toys. I hope they sold a few.

Adams Shore Beach - Day 253

It's not easy being a photographer some days. I have an order for a photo, waited for sunshine and a few clouds. I got to the sight and never thought about high tide taking the beach away. Always tomorrow.

Christmas Tree is Up - Day 252

Well I got the Christmas tree up today. I will spent the rest of the evening moving ornaments around until I get them the way I want. Ha!

My Family - Day 251

A wonderful Thanksgiving day was had by all. It's wonderful to have your family together to celebrate the holiday.

Where Did the People Go? - Day 250

I was down to Hull this morning to deliver a photo I sold over the weekend. When I headed down Beach Ave. I had to take a photo. It was cold and windy on the beach today, but the light of the sun was beautiful.

Santa Waiting - Day 249

I went to the South Shore Plaza this afternoon to pick up a few things. Would you believe I told the chanel lady the make-up was to expensive and I didn't buy it. I must be ill. Thank goodness I know a Mary Kay rep that I will be calling soon. A bottle of chanel moisturizer was $175 dollars. I will be deteriorating fast. Maybe I should have asked Santa for it.

Train Coming- Day 248

I am still not use to the trains coming through the back roads from Braintree to Scituate.

Crows Point, Hingham - Day 247

We had a meeting at Frank's house last month and the view from his family room was lovely. So I drove down to Crow's Point to see if I could find a place to photograph it. I did.

Holiday Showcase - Day 246

What a great day we had today. The Hull Artists Studio Connection was part of the Hull Chamber of Commerce Holiday Showcase. We were given the Hull High School Library to show our artwork in. The library worked perfectly. We hired the Skyland Jazz Band to set the mood of an art gallery. Everyone that entered the Library loved the music and art.

Last 5 minutes of Sunshine - Day 245

I had a busy day today getting ready for the Holiday Showcase . At 4pm today we could set-up for tomorrow. By the time I arrived in Hull the sun was setting quickly. I got this photo minutes after sunset.
