A Grey Result....

It is COLD today in Port Washington and the forecast predicts this will last through the weekend and we may get some snow. And it's GREY in Port Washington, the sky, the trees, the shrubs...even the water in Lake Michigan is all a "muddle". But at least it's not quite as dramatic as last weekend.

We had huge waves crashing ashore and they did a lot of damage to the walkway out to our lighthouse. It was amazing to watch from the window.

This was from the summer we first moved to Port when we took two of our grandsons on a walk out to that very same lighthouse....it will be awhile before that's possible once again. Look at the difference!

On Tuesday Fenway and I took one of our normal walks along the lakefront.....just north of this walkway. It's a bit more sheltered so I was not aware of any damage, but I was aware that every rock and boulder boasted a coating of ice as a result of the gale. They were all covered by at least an inch of frozen lake....and once again dull and brownish grey.

I was taken by the shapes and thought to myself "Now if that was fabric, I'd buy a few yards!"
