    Outside My Window ~ 01.06.2013

    Outside my window…is the end of the first weekend of 2013. Right now at about 10:45 in the evening, we are at 38°F with cloudy skies and calm winds.  Our forecast low for tonight is 35°F and tomorrow will see us with sunshine, blue skies and 48°F tomorrow.  Our temperatures have been seasonal of late…days in the highs in the low to mid 40’s and lows in the low to mid 30’s.  There have been rainy days this past week….I didn’t think we had received that much rain until I was working in the garden this past Saturday and realized how wet the ground still was.  I was able to…

    Outside My Window ~ 12.23.2012

    Outside my window…is the closing hours of the last weekend before Christmas ~ and a rather chilly one at that.  There were cooler temperatures and wind which made it seem all the more colder.  When I went out to walk the dog this morning it was 27°F with wind.  There was frost everywhere…as close to snow as we will probably get this year for the holidays.  Currently at 10:00 in the evening we are at 47°F.  The forecast low this evening is 41°F with temperatures dropping into the mid 30’s with mostly cloudy skies by early morning.  Our high for Christmas Eve will just hit 50°F with rain beginning around…

    Outside my window…the day after Christmas is bright sunshine, blue skies and chilly.  Right now we are at 49°F with winds at 15 mph ~ gusting to 24 mph.  It is a beautiful day.  The picture above was taken a year ago today.  Last year we woke up to snow….lots of it too.  It was fabulous….no place to go, snuggled inside with a nice fire going….I kind of miss it this year.  Last year was a different season for a lot of us in regards to snow on the ground.  It appears as if we won’t be approaching average snow levels in many parts of the country unless the winter…

    Outside My Window ~ 12.4.2011

    Outside my window…is a fairly mild night after a beautiful day today.  Our high today was around 65°F with sunshine and blue skies.  This evening is partly cloudy and  47°F at about 8:30.  Tomorrow and Tuesday with be a carbon copy of today however rain will move into our area Tuesday evening {as well as more seasonal temperatures} and last until at least Thursday.  It was a wonderful day today…and I was lucky enough to have picked this day to put up the outside lights…this day!  🙂  Putting up the lights wouldn’t normally be that big of a deal for me because the people that I bought this house from…

    Oh Christmas Tree……

    I’m home today……..my youngest daughter is not feeling well.  She was running a fever this morning and said she had awaken earlier in the morning with chills.  She is old enough to stay alone if she wants to, but this morning she said she didn’t want to be alone today.  It was my first clue that she really doesn’t feel good, so off came my work clothes and made the call to my supervisor.  I took the opportunity to get some photos of our Christmas tree.  This tree was purchased by my dearest friend David (from California) when he visited one year.  It was during the Thanksgiving holidays and I brought my trusty old…
