Outside My Window ~ 11.08.2009
Outside My Window…is a beautiful morning ~ 59F with 62% humidity, skies are clear and a brilliant blue. I believe we are in what is considered the peak season for the fall colors in our area. I have noticed the colors on some trees are fading, but there is still much color and beauty out there. I have been to different locations and taken many photos. Hopefully I will be featuring some on here before too long. I am thinking…about how one tree can drop so many leaves. My backyard is covered in leaves, covered. But on another note, I found out what type of tree it is that drops…

Outside My Window ~ 11.1.2009
Outside My Window…is a cloudy and windy morning. Right now it is 59F with winds at about 17 mph. We are at our high temp for the day right now. It was cloudy and 80F yesterday. Welcome to Virginia weather. On the weather channel I noticed there is another low off the coast of North Carolina which means rain today and probably tonight….and the rain has arrived as well as the wind. The rest of the week will be in the 60’s during the day, low 40’s at night. The new image above was taken outside my patio doors actually…..I had not closed my blinds last night and caught this…

Outside My Window ~ 10.25.09
Outside My Window…is quite cloudy….the temp is 59F with forecasted high of about 67F and cloudy skies today. Not quite as hot as it has been the past few days….yesterday was a balmy 82F. The one thing I don’t especially enjoy about fall and/or spring weather….you are never quite sure what type of clothes you will need for the day ~ sweaters or shorts? I am thinking…about how quickly this year has gone by. It doesn’t seem possible it is the final week of October…..it seems like I was just writing about the spring season not so long ago ~ now we are well into fall and heading towards winter. I…

Outside My Window ~ 10.18.09
Outside My Window…is gray, gloomy and windy. At 7:30 a.m., it is 49F but could feel colder if you were outside because of the wind. We are on the tail end of a double nor’easter that came through the end of last week. The high today will be a whopping 3 degrees warmer than it is right now…..52F. I had to turn the heat on for the first time yesterday. We are forecasted to receive a bit more rain…..but the pavement is dry right now. I am thinking…how in the world three people can mess a house up so quickly? And to make matters worse, we are not here…

Outside My Window ~ 10.11.09
Outside My Window…is a beautiful morning……sunny, blue skies and it was 57F at 7:30 this morning. There is a nice breeze blowing as well. I started this a bit later, but still quite beautiful outside. We are forecasted for a high of 72F and partly cloudy skies. The rest of this week doesn’t look so promising with a few showers forecast for each day. There are a few trees beginning to change in our area but not quite as beautiful as some of the photos I have seen of the Northeast areas. I am thinking…how nice it was to see my friends Shelly and Bruce at P.F. Chang’s restaurant last…

Outside My Window ~ 10.04.09
Outside My Window…is a beautiful morning with blue skies and no clouds in sight. The temps now are at about 68F at 9:45 a.m. When I walked out the door this morning at 6:15, it was around 61F and dark. I was off to Buckroe Beach this morning to renew my spirit and take some sunrise photos. When I arrived, it was at that moment in the morning when it is neither dark nor light…..that morning twilight period. Beautiful. In front of me, a sunrise waiting to happen, at my back was a beautiful full moon that had recently risen over the horizon. There were not many people around….a few…

Outside My Window ~ 9.27.09
Outside My Window…are the remnants of a morning shower. I woke up to rain, which allowed me to roll over and sleep a bit longer. It is 72F at 10:30 this morning. I believe we are finished with the rain showers and will spend the rest of the day under cloudy skies. Temperatures have been unseasonably cool the last few days, but we will get up to the 80’s today and tomorrow. Temps will then drop back down to the low 70’s for the remainder of the week with sunshine. If all goes as forecasted, we should have a very nice week. I have noticed some of the trees are…

Outside My Window ~ 9.20.09
Outside My Window…is a beautiful almost fall morning. We are at 65F with 73% humidity, sunny with blue skies. The forecast is for a high of 78F with patchy clouds. Beautiful. The dogwood tree leaves are beginning to turn…..they are generally the first to turn around here. I have noticed quite a few berries on mine this year. It appears that when I get a lot of berries in the fall, I get more blooms the following spring. I am thinking…about how quickly summer seemed to fly by. It doesn’t seem like that long ago I was stressing over Alanna’s prom dress and graduation. Now school has started again and…

Outside My Window ~ 9.13.09
Outside My Window…is bright and sunny, a very nice 73F, light winds ~ enough to make my wind chimes sing to me ~ and 77% humidity. Last week we were experiencing fall type weather, which included lots of rain. I heard one day we got almost 5 inches of rain in a relatively short period of time. It just poured……and poured. We had two separate non-tropical systems park off the coast for a period. Winds weren’t too bad either time….or the ones I experienced anyway. It is forecasted to be in the lowers 80’s today….by mid week, in the upper 80’s and then we will cool down again. It appears…

Outside My Window ~ 9.6.09
Outside My Window…is blue skies, temperature is 67F with 83% humidity at 8:00 a.m. The sun has just gotten up over the rooftops so it is pretty nice outside right now. We are forecasted to have a high of 86F with partly sunny skies today. For Labor Day, cloudy and showers….guess that means everyone will be heading home from the beaches sooner than they planned. We had a glimpse of fall this past week with temperatures hovering in the low 70’s during the day. I am thinking…about how much I enjoy long, holiday weekends. It is perfect…..you get a long, three day weekend and then the following week, a short…
