  • Weather of late

    December 8, 2004 brought this interesting effect, low lying fog burning off so visually appealling as it moved toward the sky: As well as this glorious BLUE above the fray! First lovely blue sky in so long, it seemed. Only to have that late night turn cloudy then to rain by early am, and the…

  • December is Here

    Happy December! I find it funny to say that and then to say that today is warmer than the last day of November, so much so that on that day I wrote about how “chilly” things were. All day yesterday I was chilly, so it was in the house. Last night it wasn’t so much…

  • Chilly Cranky

    My sweet blue male kitten is so fluffy, he looks like a nice warm slipper. Yes, I am chilled. It’s a cooler day with no sun most of the day, just a few moments here and there earlier this afternoon, but that was it. It’s not really “cold” but it feels so when in the…

  • Cooler weather is here

    Autumn is here. Summer is over. The day, yesterday, was in the 60’s but the house chilly. It was sunny, but the house chilly. It’s chilly now, early morning in the house (I’ve been up since 2am). The forescast for the next 15 days is for the highs at the most in the low 60’s…

  • Brrr II and birds

    It’s early, and cold. We kept the fire going late last night, so it’d warm the house longer, and also make it easier to get it going in the morning. Good thing. When it’s down below freezing, it gets cold in here FAST. There’s a certain edge of chilliness that can’t be shaken from the…

  • Winter Wonderland

    It’s nearly the end of February, and we got our first real snowfall for the Winter over night. It was raining off and on yesterday, and continued doing that at night, with wind picking up, and lots of gusts … I had a hard time sleeping, with the pelting rain at the window, and hearing…

  • Weather is warming soon!

    In viewing the weather for the next 15 days, tonights cold will end the coldest for awhile. Most every day hence for the 15 day forcast is highs in the 50’s and 60’s, nay, even to the high 60’s some days. Wow! Spring is near. There is one day, the 25th I think it is,…

  • Fireplace, Movies, Bread

    Well it’s fireplace day for us. It was very cold in the house yesterday, with enough wood for that day or this day. So we held out. Today I also held out as long as we could, so now the fire is started. The morning wasn’t so bad really, but by 11am cold toes were…

  • Cold, diversion needed

    It’s a cold day. It was so nice the last few days. Well, DH is out-of-town, in the Carolina’s where there is snow from this same weather system we had here yesterday and today. We don’t have that though. It’s 44 degrees F. right now, with overcast skies. No warming sun, just residual cold left…

  • Little Flock in our yard

    Victoria called me to her room a bit ago, said there was a red-headed bird, like a woodpecker that she was looking at. I asked her if it was on a tree, and she said “No, it’s on the grass”. So I went in there and lo and behold, it wasn’t a woodpecker … it…

  • Weather turns to ice again

    We have ice now. I hadn’t checked the temp earlier, it was supposed to be down ot 38 last night and up to 40 today, not much difference, but above freezing. So it was raining during the night, as expected, then I got an advisory email just awhile ago, with an ice warning … a…

  • Rain, Rain, Come and Stay

    It’s a rainy day. February Showers bring March/April Flowers 😉 That’s what it’s like here. It’s chilly and wet. But it’s now February. Hurray!

  • Ice Storm

    On Sunday late afternoon, the rain on trees started to turn to ice. So, we finally had an ice storm. It was mild here, the roads were mostly safe, as far as we know from what we experienced. Everything was frozen through this morning, only melting as the morning warmed up finally. One and a…

  • Mild Weather and trees

    We’ve hit another mild spell in the weather. It was in the high 50’s to low 60’s on Monday (I say today, since I’ve yet to fall asleep 🙂 ) Tomorrow (really “Today” Tuesday) it’s supposed to reach 63 degrees F. The low overnight tonigh should be down to 38, and that is so much…

  • Wintry Weather — sort of

    I have always viewed “winter” as starting about Thanskgiving, or maybe a week later, when anywhere other than in Florida, where I’ve lived. I know that the actual season begins with the winter solstace, later in December, but the weathe distinctiveness lulls me to the Winter feel early. As it does for many, I suspect.…

  • New Photos coming soon

    I recently found a stash of photo’s … something that I put away. I’m seeing these photo’s as if I’ve really not seen them before. The year 2000, December. Cute little children. So I’ll be getting them ready … I just have to decide which are what, since there are two rolls, both not developed…

  • Winter, spring-longings, and Winter again

    It’s been a bit warmer for a few days, into the 50’s then the low 60’s one day, and then the high 40’s today. Nights have been above freezing. Now tonight it’s going to get much colder, into the low 20’s, and tomorrow looks to be a COLD day, and the night in the one…

  • Cold temperatures, but Mild Winter so far

    It’s cold tonight, supposed to be around 15 degrees F. That’s the coldest of the season. That means a mild Winter. No snow or ice storms as yet. We did have flurries this morning, but very light and not for very long. It rained last night, and the temperature was about 36 to 34 degrees,…
