Hi everyone. Some of you might have seen this post since I accidentally forgot to change the date when I scheduled it on Wednesday. 😦 Anyhow I deleted it once I figured it out, and here it is again for those of you who didn't see it.
It's Friday once again. I hope you had a good week. At my house it had been snowy and rainy with lots of grey weather until yesterday/Thursday. Finally we had some sun. ❤ Not the most exciting week, but here's a few random photos I snapped during it. Since it's Friday, I am linking up to Nicole's Friday Face Off and also to Gillena's Friday Lunch Break.
Here's the wreath on my house, and below, the winter wonderland view as I drove towards the coast back on Tuesday. Wednesday's rain got rid of all that snow. Of course there was NO snow at the coast even to start with.
Since it was grey and damp but with fresh snow at home it's not easy to walk on my road, so the dogs and I took a beach walk after a doctor's appointment. Not that the beach was any less grey or damp.
At the beach entrance someone put up a little tree.
And various people added some decorations. I love how many of them are dog related.
Back home, one of my rose bushes had a lot of ice on it.
This "Red sky in morning, Sailors take warning" sky says we’re suppose to have some not so good weather. Yes, it snowed that afternoon and evening on the day I snapped this photo.
And ha ha. This guy has figured out how to jump off the deck onto the bird feeder since he can't get around the baffle.
I saw this pop of red under my rosebush when looking out the window, and there was the cardinal. A lot of the birds really like tucking into this bush. They must not feel the thorns.
Now most of the snow is gone, but it still looks a lot like winter. You can see the remains of the dog trail my husband snow blows for the dogs.
And here's my face for this week. Sometimes when Mr. Pete really falls asleep he sticks out his tongue. What a nut.
But he always looks so comfortable.
That's all for me. I hope you have a wonderful start to your weekend.

I find it amazing that birds can fly into, and perch on, thorny bushes with unerring accuracy and not impale themselves, or even make contact with a spine. The most remarkable example I have seen is a Cactus Wren nesting deep in a Cholla Cactus and delivering food to its young, who are well protected in their spiky home. If I lived ten lives I would still be brought to the edge of wonderment every day. All the best - David
Mr. Pete was having a good dream :-) It's cold over here, but not snow at all..I am hoping for a white Christmas.
...I hope that this is your lucky day.

I like that wreath in the first photo.
Such beautiful photo Erika. I just realized this morning that this was friday the 13th today. I usually do not drive anywhere on the 13th if I have a choice.
Happy weekend hugs Kathy
What wonderful wintry photos, especially the little xmas tree at the beach!
Your wreath looked pretty even if it had snow on it. I like the Christmas tree at the beach. Love the squirrel. We have one that must be related. He figured out he can jump off the shed. That's a beautiful picture of a cardinal and would make a spectacular Christmas card. Stay warm
Fabolous share Erika
Thanks for linking. to AFFF at Lunch Break
Much❤️💚love
Your winter photos do capture this season. I like the squirrel photo — it’s so hard to get their faces.
Wow! These photos are fabulous. Lots of snow, I don't miss it at all. LOL What a handsome face to share with FFO. Thank you and have a lovely weekend.
These photos are wonderful, Erika. I love your wreath. Your eye to capture such things as the icy roses is perfect and I really love the dog tree at the beach -- so fun! Happy weekend!
A lovely post and I enjoyed seeing your photographs.
The week has gone by so quickly.
I'm spending time with some of the family this weekend ... really looking forward to it.
I wish you a good weekend.
All the best Jan
Winter wonderland indeed and your captured it beautifully in your photos. The "community" tree is so wonderful. Mr. Pete does look very very comfortable. Wishing you a very cozy weekend.

Yippeee on Friday 13th, always a lucky day for me.
No sun. Nope. Cold, grey.

Some lovely winter scenes.
I once had a friend who was upset that the deer ate her roses! I was shocked that they wouldn't be bothered by the thorns. The wintry scenery does make me smile and brings back happy memories. Lots of grey here, too. Have a great weekend!
Loving all of your winter scene photos here! The ice is happening here today...hopefully with no power outage either! Stay warm and cozy my friend!
Erika, I am rather envious of the fact that you had some snow this week when all we had in nashua was lots of downpours on Wednesday and not a single snowflake. But, there's still time. it is amazing that the cardinal liked the thorny bush, maybe no nerves in their legs/feet?
Your backyard looks so neat and tidy now! Love the way the sun rises through the trees. Mr. Pete is lost in Dreamland! I didn't even snap that Friday was the 13th until Saturday, and I change the perpetual wood calendar every day, smh. lol xoxo
These winter scenes are fabulous. Wishing you a great day!

Love your wreath and your beach scenes. Pete looks adorable.
Lovely pictures. I really like the wreath.
Your wreath looks lovely, especially with the snow on it, nestling so perfectly on the cones and branches.
Ooh, it looks so cold and bleak on the photos of your journey and of the beach, love the little tree at the entrance, what a lovely touch.
My it must be cold, just looking at the ice on the rose bush and the snowy views of your back garden.
Isn't it cute when dog's go to sleep and leave a tiny bit of pink tongue sticking out.
Hugs, Neet xx
