Roaring Rapids Across Chatham

After the weekend’s biblical downpour, I’m thinking of building an ark of my own. We had so much rain on Saturday that the ground level raised to a point where the water began pouring in through our basement window sill. On an emergency run to the hardware store, we noticed that many homes along 295 in Chatham were surrounded by water. Hopefully you managed to stay high and dry and lets hope for a drier week ahead.

Where Have We Been?

First, my apologies for going missing from Columbia County Current. The fact is, I’ve been out of the county for a while and as such, didn’t have anything to blog about.

I’m finally back in the county and on the blog and ready to go. I’m also ready for Spring. Don’t get me wrong, I love the winter – it’s one of the reasons we moved to Columbia County – but I’m ready for some warmer temperatures and a little color in our surroundings.

What about you?

Trendy – Foo Dogs

Foo Dogs keep popping up in stores all over the place. Williams Sonoma has an incredible pair of Foo Dog lamps and we just found a set of white ceramic Foo Dogs at Z Gallerie.

They are ceramic and 13″ tall so they will make a dramatic statement wherever you place them. It looks like they are sold in a set of two for $88.90, which is a great deal. Click here to buy.

My Country Home: The Study

We are slowly but surely getting the study in order here at our new house. Eventually, this room will have a corner lined in book shelves and lots of heavy wood and leather chairs. For now, I’ve got my home office set up with a fire going and I just looked out the window to see that it’s snowing … again. It has been about four days since the last heavy snowfall so I guess I should have expected it. Thank god I bought a case of wine.

I’m not sure if you can see the snow in this picture but this is the view from my desk here in the study.

Uh-oh, I better throw another log on the fire.
