time passes so quickly!

OK here I am catching up with life a million light years too late. Several things are on my mind, not enough time to satisfy anything, so lets start with the pressing.........
I have to admit not to  be a royalist, but  I am a 'fan' ( using the term very loosely) of Will & Kate. I love how not royal they appear to be, I am following them through their Canadian tour - and don't let anyone say this is a vacation for them,  they are working their butts off & all power to them - got to love 'em!
It's our wedding anniversary today. I have asked that we spend the evening on the beach with a fire  & 'picnic', I know it's going to be awesome - who needs a 'cottage' when we have this. Added to our exciting evening, the fireflies came to play so we were entranced by their performance - I believe in faeries and fire flies have to be their cousins - or close. What an awesome evening - on the beach with dinner cooking on the open fire - we have to do this more often - I'm seeing a lobster cook off!!!!!!!!
What else????? By the way this place is close to heaven on earth!
Lichen Planus - its a brute! A skin disorder that is still a mystery. The dermatologists suggest steroid treatment - but of course anyone who has never suffered through this would give that easy out. I even read when it gets itchy it could be covered with a bandage - are they kidding - or just trying to fill the psychiatric units?????? So ...... as a sufferer of this enigmatic skin disorder let me say the dermatologists are out of order! Go with the homeopathic suggestions, they have a better feel for life. It's not a matter of symptom management, it's all about what causes this disorder & alleviating that cause for a saner life. When I read it can be insanely itchy, let me say, no words were better used. Man can it ever! I'll speak further on this once I have the proof of a 'cure' I seek!
OK, I'm off to bed. I have so much to say but get weary trying to say it!
later

Look how pretty we are!

It snowed on Thursday - oh boy did it snow! It snowed all day, by about 3pm we thought we should venture out to clear some path so we could get out - should we want. But, the snow that had fallen earlier in the morning had been more like freezing rain - then had turned to snow, so the snow we were trying to move was extremely heavy! Suffice it to say, after 2 hours of work with me & my snow blower & Phil on his plow, we had some clearing done. We were both exhausted because of the weight of the snow & the machinery working so hard to move it making it a very physical experience!

But now, the snow lies thick and white, glistening. The trees are laden with snow. It is truly beautiful out there. Cold, but oh, so lovely. The chickens would prefer to stay indoors as they don't have insulation to their feet, but they even venture out onto their little door steps. The sun was shining today, it can't help but make anyone feel good.
