    Two More Free December Desktop Calendars

    I’m really hoping I get the hang of this sooner rather than later….if you saw my earlier post you discovered a deactivated link because once I got to work I discovered the sizes weren’t working…….and I forgot to add the 31st on the calendar!!  Groan.  In my defense it was a fairly stressful night what with the software issues.  I had to un-install and reinstall and all seems to be running fine now so I was able to do a couple more this evening. I think these are good to go….or I should say I hope these are good to go now.  🙂  I believe I will do a few…

    December 2011 Free Desktop Calendar

    {Update} The link has been reactivated 12/2/11 @ 6:50 p.m….. I have disabled the link for the time being….when I got to work today and checked out the link on my computer I discovered most of them were too large for the monitors and didn’t display the full calendar….and I forgot to add the 31st!  😐  I think I panicked more than I realized when PhotoShop crashed last night and I had to reinstall.  This one and the others will be up later this evening ~ hopefully I will get the bugs worked out of doing this sooner rather than later.  🙂 It took a little while….but I finished one of the free desktop…

    Outside My Window ~ 11.28.2011

    Outside my window…is a Monday rather than a Sunday.  Maintenance on the sight last night prevented me from posting when I wanted to….I was exhausted and decided it would need to wait until today.  🙂  I worked hard during the holidays and my time off….from preparing a  Thanksgiving dinner from start to finish for the first time in over twenty years to my endless fall cleaning to putting up and decorating the Christmas tree.   The holiday started off rather cool but ended unseasonably warm.  Our average for this time of year is 57°F….our high temperature yesterday was 70°F.  Currently {at noon} it is 71°F….and our high is forecast for…

    Outside My Window ~ 11.20.2011

    Outside my window…is the close of another weekend….the weekend before Thanksgiving. You wouldn’t know it was this late in November if you were to judge by the weather alone.  Today was beautiful….71°F with sunshine and blue skies.  We are currently at 64°F at 9:30 this evening with a chance for rain later tonight through Wednesday…..a small chance.  Of course I have seen some pretty hard rains when we had a small chance for rain so I guess we will have to wait and see what comes.  Thanksgiving day is forecast to be sunny with highs in the mid 50’s. I am thinking about…my list of things to pick up and…

    Outside My Window ~ 11.13.2011

    Outside my window…is the close of another weekend…one that went by very quickly.  It was a nice weekend, temperatures in the mid sixties with mostly sunny skies and not much wind.  It is 58°F and mostly cloudy at 7:25 this evening.  The temperatures will remain a little above average for the week with a chance for rain Tuesday evening.  They are calling for wind tomorrow….I suppose we will loose quite a bit of the remaining leaves if that is the case.  I would say this past week we hit our peak as far as fall colors.  I know the drive to and from work was quite beautiful…I posted a few…

    What I See

    Yesterday was quite foggy in Hampton Roads….when I left my house it was really dense….almost too dense. The fog lightened up quite a bit the closer I got to Williamsburg and I got an idea.  I travel down the Colonial Parkway during the last leg of my drive to work.  It is always a beautiful drive but one of the things I love about the parkway is the fact there are no traffic lights and I can count on one hand the number of cars I see on my way to work each morning.  I carry my point and shoot camera with me so I decided to take a couple…

    Scenes from Lake Matoaka

    While I was out and about the other day taking the photograph of Lake Matoaka for my desktop calendar, I took a few extras… The Lake Matoaka Amphitheater…the sky is totally blown out on this image, but I like it… ….and a view from the stage…
