    Outside My Window ~ 4.21.2013

     Outside my window…is the end of another weekend.  At around 11:00 this evening we are at 47°F with clear skies.  The weather channel says it feels like 43°F and I’m wondering if I should be worried about the house plants I took outside a couple of weeks ago.  I guess it is too late to worry about that now…I hope they will be alright.  We had an absolutely beautiful, albeit chilly, weekend.  There was a nice overnight soaking rain on Friday and into the early hours Saturday morning that washed the thick layer of pollen away.  A cold front moved in with that rain and left the air feeling brisk and…

    Outside My Window ~ 11.15.09

    Outside My Window…is no wind and rain!  Yeah!  Fortunately, the low pressure system that caused us so many problems is well off the coast of North Carolina now.  I woke up early and saw some blue skies while the sun was rising, but clouds took over.  I just looked outside and it looks like that is attempting to burn off right now.  We are at 55F right now with about  87% humidity, but the best part….winds are non-existent!!  Our high is suppose to reach 72F today with partly cloudy skies.    We are still under a coastal flood watch until around 10 this morning.  I guess all the folks right on the coast…

    Outside My Window ~ 10.18.09

      Outside My Window…is gray, gloomy and windy.  At 7:30 a.m., it is 49F but could feel colder if you were outside because of the wind.  We are on the tail end of a double nor’easter that came through the end of last week.  The high today will be a whopping 3 degrees warmer than it is right now…..52F.  I had to turn the heat on for the first time yesterday.  We are forecasted to receive a bit more rain…..but the pavement is dry right now. I am thinking…how in the world three people can mess a house up so quickly?  And to make matters worse, we are not here…

    Outside My Window ~ 10.04.09

    Outside My Window…is a beautiful morning with blue skies and no clouds in sight.  The temps now are at about 68F at 9:45 a.m.  When I walked out the door this morning at 6:15, it was around 61F and dark.  I was off to Buckroe Beach this morning to renew my spirit and take some sunrise photos.  When I arrived, it was at that moment in the morning when it is neither dark nor light…..that morning twilight period.  Beautiful.  In front of me, a sunrise waiting to happen, at my back was a beautiful full moon that had recently risen over the horizon.  There were not many people around….a few…
