    Outside My Window ~ 10.2.2011

    Outside my window…is a dark and cloudy night {I love it when I can write that 🙂 } …and it is cold.  Well, not freezing cold, but compared to what we have been experiencing lately…it is cold.  And it feels good too. Currently at 8:45 p.m. we are at 54°F and a forecast low of 46°F is expected for the evening.  Our high tomorrow is set for 61°F with a few showers and another chilly evening with a low of 47°F.  The rest of this week will be pretty much the same until it finally warms up to 76°F on Saturday.  My youngest told me yesterday she is not ready…

    This Moment #6

    {this moment} A Friday ritual.  A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from the week.  A simple, special, extraordinary moment.  A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.   If you’re inspired to do the same, leave a link to your ‘moment’ in the comments for all to find and see. (copyright SouleMama 2010) .  Inspired by SouleMama and passed on to me by CoffeeShop Free Actions….why not leave your moment there as well.

    Storm Update

    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…
