Do ya think it's Christmas??

I took a little geographic liberty with this shot - the house is actually in Bay Shore, though still in Islip School District...and it's just such a fabulous display, I couldn't let a little thing like town borders keep me from sharing it with y'all!

It's been kind of a crazy week, I've been remiss in posting new pictures....but this morning I got up bright and early (unintentionally!) and went around shooting at crack'a'dawn. Here's the picture that makes me happiest - my boy, who made the final leap this week to seeming 100% better from his bout with Lyme's Disease back in September...here he is at full throttle at what I call "Frisbee Field."

Day 135

As a child, one of my favorite books was "From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs Basil E Frankweiler," about a girl who runs away from home and hides out in the art museum. I always dreamed of hiding out in the public library and getting locked in at night, all alone, to peruse the stacks in peace and solitude...

Alright, so it wasn't *actually* snowing tonight in Islip...I just took some artistic liberties ;-)

A little more traditional Christmas house...and I even squeezed in (slightly!) the Theme of the Day - with the circle wreath!
