Smores and Mores

Happy Sunday morning when my second cup of coffee will be a flavour that they call Smores. This blend is a new weekend treat that sure smells good brewing. While it might smell better than it tastes, it does taste quite good too. I use less expensive, plain coffee throughout the week and also for my first cup on the weekends. My second cup on the weekend is a bit of a treat.

When I posted the photo of our neighbour shovelling snow of his car (there is another version, below) a few readers opined that he could use his garage to keep the snow off. Except nobody does on this block of townies because people need the space to store things. When I say nobody, of course I mean most people. We make space for our car, mostly because the previous owner made two big overhead shelves where we can keep our lawnmower and other items, including summer ornaments and such. 

=================

Speaking of garages, our adjacent neighbour (who is one the few other folk on the block to park in her garage in winter) impresses me greatly, when, upon peering from my den window, I chance to see actually her backing the car into the garage. Our garages are narrow, and I am even careful about driving in and reversing out, but she backs in for some reason. In general, people backing into parking spaces annoy me, but some people are totally committed to it.

This week, we noticed the weak and cold winter sun lowering in the west before sunset. I saw it from the den window, but I went upstairs for a better and less obstructed view.  Once again, I cajoled Photoshop into removing wires for me.

I made a sticker. 

Yesterday, I showed you the photo of me in my red coat taking a photo of a bench. Since then, I decided to inset it into the photo that I was taking at the time. I did convert my image to b&w, so the tonality is different in the two photos.

Speaking of benches, this is one up the street. You may recall that I posted it a few weeks ago with a maple leaf on its lightly frosted surface. There have been a few dumpings of snow since then. I replaced the grimy driveway snow in the background with more pristine snow. Now, it doesn't look like a driveway at all.

I leave you with this.
