Time For A Change
Once again, Outside My Window is being delayed by a day….something that seems to happen more frequently than I like lately. There was a time when that post would be one of the first things I did on a Sunday…..now it has been pushed back to the last thing I do ~ and that isn’t working. It never fails that I run out of time on Sunday evenings…time for a change. In the meantime….getting my feet wet with the new camera this week. The settings are different from my previous camera so there are a few things to learn….and it handles a little differently so there is that. Here are…

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…

Outside My Window ~ 12.26.10
Outside My Window…snow, snow and more snow! What began as a White Christmas yesterday afternoon has turned into quite an event today. It has been snowing since about 3:30 yesterday but very hard since early this morning. It looks as if the neighborhood trees have all been flocked with several inches of powdery, white snow. I can’t see my front steps…it is quite deep outside. The Weather Channel estimates we have about 6 1/2 inches right now ~ I think locally there may be more around here. I do live in the rain/snow/ice belt of the peninsula so that is a possibility. When I say I live in the rain/snow/ice belt it means…

Outside My Window ~ 12.19.10
Outside My Window…is cold, cloudy, windy and no snow. Bonus points on the no snow ~ the nor’easter they feared would potentially bring a good bit of snow to our area ended up tracking too far off the coast. We still have some on the ground from our last snowfall, not much but still some white here and there. Our temperature at 12:45 today is 36°F but with the winds feels like 26°F. We are quite close to our forecast high of 38°F for the day and the sun is expected to make an appearance….tonight will be quite cold again at 22°F. The week looks pretty much the same as today with our…

Forecast & Photographs
Today ~ winter storm warning from 7:00 a.m. until 7:00 this evening. Possible accumulation of 3 to 6 inches of snow with ice developing this evening. Travel this afternoon and evening very hazardous or impossible. They did not lie! When I woke up this morning, it was dry outside ~ of course when I got to work we discovered the College was closed. The notification process blows by the way ~ we always seem to find out after we get to work. No problem, it was still dry….I was getting paid for the day because they closed the campus….and the hours I ended up working this morning will be comp time I can take…

Red, White, Blue with a little bit of Yellow & Orange
Yippy Skippy….my largest tomato finally started turning red today! I was beginning to wonder if it was ever going to turn and at the same time deciding if there was such a thing as a healthy fried green tomato. We had another round of thunderstorms this afternoon and as I often do when I get home from work after a round of storms, I check to see if “everyone” survived in the garden. I was thrilled to see this flash of red on an otherwise green bush! I applied CoffeeShop Vivid Action on this photo……yes, I’m still having way too much fun with these actions. For my white selection, I have a…
