Outside My Window ~ 12.26.2011
Outside my window…the day after Christmas is bright sunshine, blue skies and chilly. Right now we are at 49°F with winds at 15 mph ~ gusting to 24 mph. It is a beautiful day. The picture above was taken a year ago today. Last year we woke up to snow….lots of it too. It was fabulous….no place to go, snuggled inside with a nice fire going….I kind of miss it this year. Last year was a different season for a lot of us in regards to snow on the ground. It appears as if we won’t be approaching average snow levels in many parts of the country unless the winter…

Outside My Window ~ 12.18.2011
Outside my window…is nightfall in Hampton Roads. We are currently at 31°F with clear skies…forecast low is 30°F. Cold. Tomorrow is another story with a forecast high of 56°F and sunshine but it will get cold again tomorrow evening. There is no snow in the forecast…chance of rain on Christmas day, but no snow. It appears as if we are not the only ones who won’t have a white Christmas. So maybe the mountains of snow received last year were actually some of this years snow? Would seem so…places that usually have received quite a bit by this time of the season have received only a trace so far this…

Outside My Window ~ 12.11.2011
Outside my window…is a pretty frosty evening as we are closing in on 9:00 p.m.. We are currently at 33°F, which is also our forecast low for the evening. Today was sunshine and blue skies but fairly cool with only a high of 45°F. We will gradually build our way up to a high of 60°F by Thursday. I noticed on the weather channel the past couple of days that a lot of places that normally have plenty of snow have barely seen any this year….you wonder if they are going to have a mild winter….or if the worst is yet to come. We generally don’t see snow this early….we…

Before and After
I have been working on organizing my three hard drives. While extracting/looking/moving files, I ran across a photo I scanned and edited for my brother-in-law not too long after his mother passed away last year. It was a favorite of his…I can understand why because it is a great photograph. When I look at it she is young…she is beautiful…a woman at the cusp of her adult life. Maybe I relate because we were about the same age….and you got to love the peace symbol pillow she is resting on. 🙂 After I scanned the photograph I softened the image to minimize the texture. The texture on a lot of…

Outside My Window ~ 12.4.2011
Outside my window…is a fairly mild night after a beautiful day today. Our high today was around 65°F with sunshine and blue skies. This evening is partly cloudy and 47°F at about 8:30. Tomorrow and Tuesday with be a carbon copy of today however rain will move into our area Tuesday evening {as well as more seasonal temperatures} and last until at least Thursday. It was a wonderful day today…and I was lucky enough to have picked this day to put up the outside lights…this day! 🙂 Putting up the lights wouldn’t normally be that big of a deal for me because the people that I bought this house from…
