Woosh

Saturday night we got about 5 inches of rain. It came down as a wall of water.Many streets flooded in the morning. This trench opened in my front yard.

First Cut

Ooops!  Time to get a new lid.

Divided Bay

The race you can see off in the distance is the point where Robin's Island separates the great Peconic Bay from the Peconic Bay.

Clearing

Yesterday morning I heard a buzzing in my back yard. I was delighted to see that my neighbor to the south is clearing out some trees. Yea- more sun for my pool.

Great Peconic

The bay was looking good in this crisp day.

Gale Force

Last night a big storm passed just east of us. Today we had very strong winds and a rocking surf. I caught this wave at sunset.

Spring Arrivals

Ginger Cat, aka Mr. Orange came back today for lunch.

I wonder if he will return to his morning schedule.

Tailored in Sag Harbor

Lost Dune

A short section on road that connected Gin Lane to Meadow Lane used to be named Dune Road. With all the larger dune roads in other towns it was decided to eliminate the Southampton Village Dune Road and extend Meadow Lane.

Spring Color

Old reliable the crocus are a regular in the corner of my garden.

Spring Blast

In spite of a cold end to winter and sub freezing temperatures just last week, my snowdrops made it out for the first day of spring.

Now That's a Wrap

Careful gardeners wrap their shrubs to protect them from the winter elements. Sag Harbor seems to have the most detailed shrub upholstery I have seen.

Sold & Closed

After almost two years of showing we finally sold this sweet village home. For the last few months there has been great interest in the property.

Making a Dune

After planting snow fence on the beach dunes grow as the sand in the wind is trapped. If you look on the left side of the fence you can see the mound that has formed.  

Hamptons Cover-Up

Some home owners make take great efforts to protect their trees from winter weather.

Winter Colors

Ornamental grass in a raod side island.

Grove of White

Birch are not native to Eastern Long Island. Our winters tend to be too warm for birch to grow well here. This grove is a delight to drive by in winter.

Night Life

Driving into Southampton any time of the night. Suburban Auto on CO RD 39 greats all motorists with this fine clock.

On Bowden Square

Sunset view from my bathroom window.

Perfect Curlers

More great weather at the beach today.

Warm Snap

It was a blue sky day at the beach.

Daylight Savings

Time change and a day for walking on the beach. Two welcome signs of spring.

Crash Landing

Last night my kitchen shelf came loose. At the time it was packed with dishes. As I unloaded the stacks of plates I was shocked to realize how much weight I had packed in there. An odd collection of counter top objects averted a complete disaster. There was very little breakage.

Up and Up

Many early summer cottages did not have much of a basement. This worked as the homes only got used in the short summer season. Now that these homes get used year round many home owners have been known to lift the house up and slip in a basement. Then the structure is set down onto the new foundation. 

BIG SALE

Big sale this weekend on Old Town Road

Green is Back

After over a month of snow it was nice to see the front lawn back in view.

Wow was I surprised to see blue salt on our village walkways.

Big Night

Very quiet here at Kmart, maybe everyone is at the Oscars.
