Outside My Window ~ 11.1.2009
Outside My Window…is a cloudy and windy morning. Right now it is 59F with winds at about 17 mph. We are at our high temp for the day right now. It was cloudy and 80F yesterday. Welcome to Virginia weather. On the weather channel I noticed there is another low off the coast of North Carolina which means rain today and probably tonight….and the rain has arrived as well as the wind. The rest of the week will be in the 60’s during the day, low 40’s at night. The new image above was taken outside my patio doors actually…..I had not closed my blinds last night and caught this…

Outside My Window ~ 8.30.09
Outside My Window…is a very warm and muggy Sunday morning, closing in on afternoon. A bit of a late start this morning. At 11:30 it is 82F with 71% humidity. Not such a bad morning, if you don’t move while you are outside. The Weather Channel is forecasting thunderstorms for today, tonight and rain tomorrow. I have found myself wishing for cooler temps more often lately. I look forward to the cooler mornings and evenings of fall. I do not look forward to the nor’easters that follow. What is this odd language she speaks you ask…….this nor’easter. Well, a nor’easter is kind of like summer’s tropical systems, except not so…

My Precious………
Each year the College of William and Mary holds a Benefit’s Fair…….no rides, no popcorn, no farm animals……just a bunch of vendors who want us to “sign up” with them. You probably know the drill ~ sign up with our bank today and you get an extra $50 deposited in your account…….or why not start your retirement program…….life insurance anyone……..do you currently have the extended health care package. Mostly I go for the free stuff they always bring ~ and of course the door prizes. I did win a cookbook one year ~ the same one they gave out to everyone who attended for free the year before. I have yet…
