Outside My Window ~ 4.29.12
Outside my window…is another Sunday night wrapping up. We had a nice and fairly gloomy weekend in Hampton Roads this past weekend. Our next to nothing chance of rain turned in to quite a downpour of some time on Saturday and while Sunday brought little rain, it did bring the gray clouds for the day. Our temperatures were in the low 60’s with a little wind on Saturday. It made me grateful that I did a little work in my flower beds Thursday and Friday evenings….would have been a bit damp to do so this weekend. We went from unbelievably high temperatures to unseasonably cool temperatures in the span of…

Outside My Window ~ 4.15.2012
Outside my window…is dark and fairly late. It is about 10:40 in the evening after a very warm day today. Currently we are at 73°F with a forecast low of 63°F. Tomorrow is going to feel like August with a high of 86°F…yes, 86°F! Sunshine and wind will accompany those extremely high temperatures. I wonder if that will set a record….seems awful warm for the middle of April. Tuesday has a forecast of 80°F with sunshine. Our high this time of year is typically around 68°F. I’m not so excited about weather this warm this early. Fortunately it will dip back down into the 60’s on Wednesday with a chance…

Outside My Window ~ 4.8.2012
Outside my window…is the closing hours for Easter. Doesn’t seem possible…Easter….April…already. Where have the days gone this year? I try to avoid wishing time away {I wish it was summer…I wish it was cooler}…it goes much too quickly all by itself. Right now {9:15 p.m.} it is 57°F with calm winds and relatively low humidity. So low in fact we are under a “fire danger” tomorrow due to low humidity and wind. Our low tonight will dip down to 45°F. Tomorrow the forecast calls for sunny skies and a high of 73°F…a low of only 50°F. The rest of the week won’t be as warm with a forecast high of…

Outside My Window ~ 3.25.2012
Outside my window…is dark o’clock. Yes, I know I said I was going to be sending this out earlier in the day ~ didn’t happen today and rather than stress about it, I decided not to worry about it. Life is sometimes easier that way. It is currently 56°F at about 10:30 in the evening. The is a slight breeze with cloudy skies. We have had a rainy weekend…not sure how much total rainfall we have had, but it was a soggy two days. From my kitchen…is another quiet weekend. I went out to dinner with my youngest daughter last night ~ PF Changs. Oh so very tasty food but…

Outside My Window ~ 3.18.2012
Outside my window…I’m waking up to a cool 54°F morning. It is about 9:30 with cloudy skies that are suppose to clear off later this morning. Our high today is an expected 67°, cooler than the past few days when we were hitting the high 70’s, low 80’s. After checking out the weather for the coming week, it looks as if we are going to stay in the mid 50’s at night and low 70’s during the day for the next five days. I can live with that. I generally don’t change the image to this post until the actual season starts…but since spring will happen on Tuesday and using…

Outside My Window ~ 3.12.2012
Outside my window…is the end of another beautiful day. The temperature today was around 75°F with sunshine and blue skies…..just beautiful. This past Saturday was a bit chilly but sunny…Sunday was warmer with sunny skies. We are currently at 64°F with slight breeze…low tonight is suppose to be 54°F with a chance of showers. Our high tomorrow, 70°F….as well as the next five days after that. There is a chance of rain Tuesday morning….but sunny for the remainder. The trees are flowering….I fear the pollen will be kicking in to full gear any time now….it is already a little challenging. From my kitchen…was dinner out with my former boss and…

Outside My Window ~ 3.4.2012
Outside my window…is setting up to be a frosty evening. Currently we are at 38°F, a low of 33°F is forecast for tonight. We have had not quite an inch of rain in the last 24 hours and the ground is quite wet. There is a chance of rain and snow in the morning…and then turning to rain later in the afternoon. That sounds nice and messy doesn’t it? We will reach about 45°F tomorrow….27°F tomorrow night….and a high of 68°F by Wednesday. Mighty peculiar weather we are having lately. We were fortunate and avoided severe weather this past weekend…although it did rain a good deal Saturday and Sunday. Until…

Outside My Window ~ 2.26.2012
Outside my window…is cold ~ C-O-L-D! Right now it is 34°F and it feels bone chilling to me. We went from summer on Friday with a high of 80° to brrrrr chilly this evening. In between, we had wind ~ lots of it Friday evening and Saturday. This week will be hanging in the mid sixties, a little above average….and cold evenings. I am thinking…I really am liking the new camera. I’m still getting use to the feel and the weight….it is a comfortable camera to handle, ergonomically comfortable….much more so than my previous camera. I’m anxious to get the battery grip but I wanted to handle the camera alone…

Outside My Window ~ 2.19.2012
Outside my window…is a fairly nasty day….cold, wet, wind. Currently at 3:00 p.m. we are at 39°F with sleet and 13mph winds from the north north-east….gusts up to 22mph. Our forecast is calling for rain/snow this evening and a low of 34°F. No one seems to know if we are going to get any type of accumulation from this storm ~ everyone has a different story to tell. I suppose these types of storms are hard to forecast, but “it may or may not snow”…really, I could tell you that. I actually wouldn’t mind a storm like we had in the photograph above…the day after Christmas in 2010….snow everywhere with…

Outside My Window ~ 2.5.2012
Outside my window…is a chilly end to our weekend. We are currently at 31°F ~ very close to our forecast low of 30°F. Tomorrow will be a nice day….sunny and the mid 50’s ~ it looks as if that will be the norm for the week, average temps during the day, chilly nights. Rain was the word for the weekend…no storming or pouring rain, occasional showers and light rain for the most part. My youngest requested a fire this evening after running an errand with her friend…she was freezing. I didn’t venture out today….I was content to stay in to do a few things around the house. I am thinking…
