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…

My Morning With The Hawks
This morning at work I had to run an errand which required a trip across the historic campus. I enjoyed the walk this morning and had the campus practically to myself…students are out on spring break this week. As I was walking back to my office, something swooped past me and landed in the tree in front of me…..a Cooper’s Hawk. Suddenly I realized where I was on campus ~ well, let me clarify…after I saw the hawk and realized where I was at that moment, I knew this was one of the pair of Cooper’s Hawks that had taken up residence in one of the beech trees by Washington Hall…

Outside My Window ~ 3.6.11
Outside My Window…is a gray, drizzly day. Currently at 11:00 a.m., we are at 61°F and quite cloudy. There is a chance of rain this morning but a greater one this afternoon when our temps will climb to about 64°F for the high and we will experience steady rains and thunder. It sounds like a typical spring day even though the first day of spring is actually two weeks away. Two Weeks! I’m really looking forward to spring….I am so tired of the cold this year. Trees and plants are coming back to life in full force….before we know it there will be warmer temps and sunny days….as well as the yellow/green…

Outside My Window ~ 2.14.11
Outside My Window…is a dark yet rather nice evening. Our temperature at 7:30 pm is 63°F and there are some decent winds blowing outside, but can I tell you what an amazing day today was? Well, going to anyway….we had a high of 69°F today with blue skies and sunshine. And yes, the wind was blowing somewhat, but 69° baby! It was wonderful to walk outside and feel the warmth….20° above our norm for this time of year. You couldn’t have asked for a sweeter day in the middle of February. It was like a coming attraction for spring….you know, this is what you can expect soon ~ stay tuned. But…

New Neighbors?
I have been noticing more and more house finches around the feeders lately… …or maybe the same ones coming back frequently. I think they may be nesting in either the honeysuckle… …or the red tip bush between mine and my neighbors yard. Or maybe taking up residence in the birdhouse? I wouldn’t mind….such attractive neighbors.
