Contrasts

               

Sometimes life offers us huge contrasts. 

 We have been in the Turks and Caicos Islands since the 1st of February.  It was a wonderful trip with sunny days, blue skies, temperatures in the 80's.  The water is a brilliant turquoise color. It was 12 days

. of lounging on the beach with good books, great friends with lots of laughs and good times.

Then we came home to Garrett County Maryland.

We live in the mountains of Maryland and are used to snow and cold. Apparently there has been an excess of both in the past 2 weeks.  Our housesitter (henceforth known as The Prince) reported that we had 73 inches of snow while we were gone.  We were thrilled to find our driveway plowed, paths shoveled into the house and my studio. . . total accessability.  The Prince of Bittinger is my hero.   (If you need real estate assistance, call Brad Nesline at Long and Foster  . . . my hero)

From 85 degrees and turquoise water to 70 inches of snow!!!!!
