Outside My Window ~ 6.21.09
Outside My Window…is a partly cloudy, windy and 83 degree day. This is a big improvement over yesterday’s 96 degrees. It was quite hot and miserable yesterday. I ventured outside for my run early in the morning, back out to get some neighborhood photos for the blog and then I was pretty much an indoor kitty yesterday! 🙂 I am thinking…about how quickly this year has gone by. Is it me or has this year just flown by so far? It doesn’t seem like spring was that long ago much less the first day of summer already. I am thankful for…the two most important men in my life…….my father and…

Outside My Window ~ 6.14.09
Outside My Window…it was a nice day, not horribly hot or humid. Could have been a little cooler and less humid, but I have experienced worse. We had lots of sunshine for all the walking we did, and that was a lot. We walked the length, up and back, of Duke of Gloucester Street in Colonial Williamsburg, one of the larger building at the Williamsburg Pottery, and a large chunk of the Prime Outlet Mall….we could all have a big bowl of ice cream this evening without guilt ~ yep, lots of walking! I am thinking…about how good it was to see Cheryl and Stephanie after so many years…..and to…

Outside My Window ~ 6.7.2009
Outside My Window…sun is finally coming out……currently 68 degrees with a forecasted high of 80 with a mix of clouds and sun. It is fairly humid outside, probably as a result of all the rain we got Friday evening. And did it rain! I just noticed on the weather channel our rain total for the month of June is 2 ¼ inches……..I wouldn’t be at all surprised if most of that came Friday night. It would pour rain, slack off a little bit for a couple of minutes and then pour rain again. This went on from late afternoon into the night. But everything is so green and clean looking…

Outside My Window ~ 5.31.2009
Outside My Window…is cloudy at the moment. The sun was peaking through earlier during my run but it appears as if the clouds have taken over for the most part now. Our forecast is for scattered thunderstorms today. I am thinking…about how relieved I am to finally finish all the major work in the flower beds this year. Now I just need to control the weeds, and I’m good to go. I worked outside yesterday (see my earlier blog post for photos) on some weeding maintenance in the corner garden where I removed the stump earlier this spring, and trying to get rid of some decorative grass that my neighbor…

Outside My Window ~ 5.24.2009
Outside My Window…partly cloudy skies and 71 degrees at around 8:15 a.m.. We have a slight chance of late afternoon thunderstorms. Right now there is more sun than clouds but I think that will change as the day progresses. Humidity is pretty high ~ 89%. So far this weekend has been very nice and it looks like today and tomorrow won’t disappoint. I am thinking…about all the chores I want to get done this long weekend. Quite a bit to do, my spring cleaning and would like to attempt to get the kitchen painted if at all possible. It is small so it is a possibility I could work…

Outside My Window ~ 5.17.09
Outside My Window…is pouring rain right now. A strong cold front is moving through our area bringing lots of rain, wind and cooler temperatures. Guess I won’t be trimming the rose bushes today! I am thinking…about how I’m going to hem Alanna’s prom gown. It is a little bit too long for her, and HOLY COW, I just realized this Friday is the big day. I am thinking I need to move that to the top of my list of things to do!! I am thankful for…the fact I don’t have to go anywhere right now ~ re: see above pouring rain. 🙂 From the kitchen…I made a tasty…

Outside My Window ~ 5.10.09
Outside My Window…a beautiful morning……66 degrees outside right now, partly sunny skies and a light breeze. We had rain almost every evening this past week so everything looks so clean and green. I love this time of year when everything is blooming and green after a winter of naked trees and barren gardens. I am thinking…about the photos I would like to add to my Flickr photo stream. I haven’t added any since last week, but I have plenty to add. Finding the time is the issue……..hmmm, could be something I could do today perhaps. Check out that site, as well as the blog……..I have been putting this on there…

Outside My Window ~ 5.3.09
Outside My Window…is a rather gloomy looking morning. Temps are at 63 degrees, cloudy with some fog lingering outside. Our forecast today does not improve as the day goes on ~ chance of thunderstorms. I am thinking…about an old friend this morning, Shaun Sargent. I received news last night that he has passed after suffering a heart attack and lapsing into a coma about a week ago. While I say he was an “old” friend, he was actually a few years younger than I am. I met him in 1985 when I moved from Denver to Dallas. Shaun was a longtime friend of my ex-husbands and opened his home…

Outside My Window ~ 4.26.09
Outside My Window…is a warm morning already. It is around 8:30 and we are already at 71 degrees outside. We have brilliant blue skies and a very slight breeze. Our high is forecasted for 91 degrees today. If the water temps at the beach weren’t still in the 50’s or 60’s, I might consider the beach! 🙂 I am thinking…about how glad I am I finally finished the corner of the flower bed yesterday. It was a chore to say the least. Now all that remains are the front beds, which fortunately are not that bad! I am thankful for…being able to spend some time with Papa and Nina this…

Outside My Window ~ 4.19.09
Outside My Window…partly sunny at the moment, but more clouds are expected to build throughout the day. It is about 60 degrees right now with a forecasted high of 71. Oddly enough, our air quality is “good”……..I would think with all the pollen coating everything, not so much in the good range. If you want to get an idea of what I’m talking about, I posted a couple of photos of my Jeep coated in pollen on my blog yesterday ~ “Welcome to Virginia“. I am thinking…about all the things I want to get accomplished today. It is quite a list so I’m hopeful I can get through most…
