    Outside My Window ~ 10.7.2012

     Outside my window…is what I would consider a typical fall day in Southeast Virginia.  This morning started out cloudy and cool at 54°F….the rain came about 10:30 this morning and at times it was heavy with some thunder and lightening.   Right now, at 2:30 this afternoon, we are at 57°F {our forecast high for the day} and cloudy.  Winds are from the north at about 10 mph and the humidity is 83%.   We have another chance for scattered thunderstorms early this evening and shower after dark.  Our forecast low for this evening is 48°F….now that is what I’m talking about.  🙂  I’m so ready for cooler weather, especially after we…

    Outside My Window ~ 9.30.2012

    Outside my window…is a beautiful fall morning.  Right now at 10:45 this morning, we are 67°F with sunshine and blue skies.  The humidity is a bit high at 61% but it is tolerable because the temperature is at a decent level.  Our forecast high today is 73°F with light winds and a very low probability of rain…you couldn’t ask for a better day.  Tomorrow will be much like today with a greater chance of afternoon showers.  Tuesday  will be warmer with a high chance of thunderstorms.  The temperature for the rest of the week will be much warmer until a weekend cool down.  I don’t know about anyone else but…

    Outside My Window ~ 9.16.2012

    Outside my window…is a cloudy but mild evening at about 68°F at 9:00.  We had a slight chance for rain this evening with a forecast low of 61°F.  Our high today was a beautiful 75°F with the sun ducking in and out of clouds all day.  There is a local pollen alert for our area ~ high in weeds and grass….which kind of sucks because my allergies have really been bothering me since the end of last month, first of this month.  Fall can be a hard month on me as far as allergies go.  It looks like we have a decent week coming up with the exception of Monday…

    One Sunny Morning

    “I am prepared to die, but there is no cause for which I am prepared to kill.” ~  Mahatma Gandhi From the 104th Floor  A Poem by Leda Rodis When the plane hit the building rocked first to the right then to the left, and outside all the skyscrapers of New York seemed to tremble. The alarms screamed louder than we did, and I knew it was time to get away. It’s funny what you notice: a pen rolling across the floor my screen saver flicker and go off a picture of you and me at Coney Island. So much to leave behind. And yet so little. Running down the hall I remembered my mother taking me to…
