    Outside My Window ~ 1.8.2012

    January 8, 2012 /

    Outside my window…is the sun setting on another winter afternoon…..wait is it really winter?  Let’s see, yesterday we had a high of around 67°F…today we reached 53°F….looks like tomorrow will be about 50°F {with rain} and then back to 60°F on Tuesday.  The weather has been like a roller coaster with fair days and cold nights…but it still doesn’t feel like winter to me.  The nor’easters have not come like normal….there has been no snow….no chilly rains…kind of weird.  Add to the fact that most of the lower 48 is snow free makes it feel even less like winter.  I know there is still plenty of winter left so I’m…

    November 2011 Free Desktop Calendar

    November 1, 2011 /

I also decided that while I like the image, I wanted something different for fall so I created one using the Crim Dell bridge.  I’m not sure if it is too busy for a desktop….but click here if you want to download that image.  I suppose there will always be a kink or two  until I get use to doing these calendars.  🙂    Lake Matoaka, College…

    Friday

    The sky was percolating this evening…I’m not at all surprised.  It was hot…it was humid….and I knew something had to give sooner or later.  About 5:30 this evening, the sky darkened, rumbled and flashed as rain poured down.  It got a little dicey for a bit with the exploding thunder and lightening.  This image isn’t from this evening….tonight I was located underneath something like pictured above I suppose…except a lot bigger.  Did you notice the small rainbow on the left?  🙂  It was the Employee Appreciation Day picnic at work.  We all gathered under the enormous shade trees behind the Wren Building…waiting with bated breath for the President to speak the magic words…you can have…
