Love is in the air...


Hello my lovelies! I hope you all have a lovely Valentine's Day. We're waiting with bated breath to see if the first Nor'easter of the season hits us tomorrow. It's been very cold and windy here but we've only had 1.8 inches of snow so far. Usually by this time we average around 16 inches of snow . I'm not sure whether to be thankful or not.

At any rate, my dog and I braved the weather to take pictures of the ice sculptures that have popped up around town thanks to the Salem's So Sweet event. We helped fund the mermaid (my personal favorite).

Some of the other sculputres included a teapot, witch on a broom (gives whole new meaning to the expression "cold as a witch's teat" doesn't it?), a pair of seals, and Harry Potter (did you know Salem is the only North American city mentioned in the series?)!




This is the 5th year Salem has done this festival. I love seeing the ice sculptures, and sampling all the chocolate yummies offered by many of our fine retailers and resturants. Can't wait to see what they do next year!
