Outside My Window ~ 4.3.11
Outside My Window…is dark and with some high clouds. The temperature at 8:30 is currently 59° with little to no chance of rain. Oh…and this happens to be the weather at my parents house in Catawba, South Carolina where I am currently relaxing. 8) I am thinking…that because I am in the midst of relaxing time, this will be short and sweet tonight. I am glad…I am able to travel and spend time with my parents. From my kitchen…is not a thing at the moment, but I will leave this paragraph in future postings and highlight a different recipe I have tried or discovered. I am currently working on…lowering my blood pressure, clearing the…

Outside My Window ~ 3.27.11
Outside My Window…is cold…cloudy….windy….and if I’m not mistaken, there is a fine, powdery snow coming down right now. Snow ~ really? The flakes are so tiny it looks like misty rain when the wind is blowing, but when it stops you can see there is more to it than just misty rain. Weird. All of the bulbs and flowers beginning to bloom from our fine weather these past two weeks and now this. Winter’s last gasp perhaps…or March showing us that it can come in like a lion and leave like a lion rather than a lamb? Our current temperature is 36°F but feels like 29°F, probably because of the wind. Forecast…

Outside My Window ~ 3.20.11
Outside My Window…is a fabulous first day of Spring. Not as toasty warm as it could be….49°F at 3:15. There is a light breeze but there is also plenty of sunshine and blue skies. We do have a light cloud cover ~ kind of like a water color wash of white here and there, but it is definitely a day you can not complain about. Beautiful now, not so much later this evening. Our forecast calls for rain late tonight. Tomorrow will be partly cloudy, windy and 71°F…chance of thunderstorms tomorrow evening. Welcome to spring in southeastern Virginia. I am thinking…about the quest last night to see the moon as soon…

Outside My Window ~ 3.13.11
Outside My Window…is a twilight sky as the sun sets on this amazing day. It was beautiful….we had a high temperature of 70°F, mostly sunny and just a slight breeze….definitely a spring teaser. I wandered around the yard this weekend ~ I should have been picking up some leaves and pulling some weeds, but I just looked. I’m actually a little hesitant to start weeding right now ~ I’m afraid I may pull up a would be flower so I wait a little bit, until I’m certain it is a weed. The violets are coming back nicely ~ but they are a type of weed so they are fairly hardy. I have…

Outside My Window ~ 3.6.11
Outside My Window…is a gray, drizzly day. Currently at 11:00 a.m., we are at 61°F and quite cloudy. There is a chance of rain this morning but a greater one this afternoon when our temps will climb to about 64°F for the high and we will experience steady rains and thunder. It sounds like a typical spring day even though the first day of spring is actually two weeks away. Two Weeks! I’m really looking forward to spring….I am so tired of the cold this year. Trees and plants are coming back to life in full force….before we know it there will be warmer temps and sunny days….as well as the yellow/green…

Outside My Window ~ 2.27.11
Outside My Window…is a relaxing, partly cloudy day. At 4:20, we are at 55°F with a little wind. We may get some showers this evening but tomorrow is when the real weather is due to happen…thunderstorms, wind and 78°F. It will feel like summer outside before we drop back down to our average temperatures for the balance of the week. I am thinking…I shouldn’t have watched “Million Dollar Baby” today. I love the movie…wonderful acting…interesting story……but it makes me cry ~ every single time I see it. I don’t boo hoo uncontrollably, but there are generally tears in my eyes when it is over. I resisted watching it for a long…

Outside My Window ~ 2.20.11
Outside My Window…has been pretty amazing these past few days. Friday we had a high temperature of 75°F….well over our average for this time of year. Yesterday wasn’t as warm at 64°F, but still above our average of 51°F for this time of year. Friday and Saturday had a bit of wind, but it didn’t take away from the sunshine and warm temperatures. Absolutely beautiful! Today is a little cooler still with a current temperature of 45°F and an expected high of 51°. There is a slight breeze outside, but not quite as strong as it was yesterday. There are some high clouds at 11:30 this morning that is making our day…

Outside My Window ~ 2.14.11
Outside My Window…is a dark yet rather nice evening. Our temperature at 7:30 pm is 63°F and there are some decent winds blowing outside, but can I tell you what an amazing day today was? Well, going to anyway….we had a high of 69°F today with blue skies and sunshine. And yes, the wind was blowing somewhat, but 69° baby! It was wonderful to walk outside and feel the warmth….20° above our norm for this time of year. You couldn’t have asked for a sweeter day in the middle of February. It was like a coming attraction for spring….you know, this is what you can expect soon ~ stay tuned. But…

Outside My Window ~ 2.6.11
Outside My Window…is another gorgeous Sunday morning. We have blue skies, sunshine and 45°F at 11:15 a.m.. Our high today won’t be much warmer than it is right now…a little chilly but hovering around our average temperature and it doesn’t feel too bad in the sunshine. We did have quite a bit of rain yesterday morning ~ key word, rain. We have been fortunate to miss the ice and snow everyone else seems to be getting but there is a chance of snow this coming Thursday. That is several days off so I won’t be worrying about it for a few days. I am thinking…about all the things I would like…

Outside My Window ~ 1.30.11
Outside My Window…was an unbelievably beautiful day! For those of you that may be buried under snow, experiencing sleet and snow ~ I must apologize…for us it was blue skies, sunshine and 46°F at around 2:30. There was a slight breeze which made it feel like 42°F but I’m not complaining. The final weekend of January has been fabulous here in southeastern Virginia….sunshine, blue skies and mild temperatures for both Saturday and Sunday. The upcoming week isn’t forecast for bright skies and sunshine however. We are expecting thunderstorms for Wednesday while much of the northeast will experience a winter storm. I’m pretty sure we won’t have to worry about snow because…
