Me and My Baby
Well………she is not so much a baby any longer. I spent the day yesterday with Cailin. We went to lunch and then shopping…..we didn’t buy much, but we did manage to get a photo of us together.

Outside My Window ~ 7.26.09
Outside My Window…is extremely warm and very humid. At 7:43 a.m., it was already 78F with 80% humidity. It is so oppressive outside I cut my run short. The combination of the heat and humidity made for a very hot run. And I’m sitting inside today….it was my intent to sit outside, but I thought I was never going to cool down so thought I better sit inside and do so today. Our forecasted high today is 95F with a chance of thunderstorms…..hmmm, with that much humidity outside right now, I’m not surprised. I am thinking…about how hungry I am. I think part of the reason the heat and humidity…

Outside My Window ~ 7.12.09
Outside My Window…actually, I am sitting on my back patio ‘outside my window’……errr, sliding glass doors. I have finished my 2.25 run on this beautiful, 78 degree, fairly muggy morning. And oh yes, it was hot when I was running. As I said, I am now in my tiny backyard enjoying a cup of blackberry sage iced tea (in my cool Catalina Island cup ~ ahhhh, Avalon ~ thanks Doo!) as I cool down. I thought “why not” sit out here and do my thing because after the run this morning, it actually feels nice and cool sitting here. 🙂 I am thinking…why a couple of my tomato leaves on…

Outside My Window ~ 7.5.09
Outside My Window…is cloudy and about 75 degrees. I think we are at our forecasted high for the day. They are predicting thunderstorms and rain….possibly one to two inches of rain. It is a bit eerie…..the “quiet before the storm” eerie…..outside right now. Kind of still, quiet ~ no activity in the neighborhood at the moment which adds to the eerie feeling as well. I am thinking…I’m going to need a step-ladder to see my sunflowers if they keep growing like they have been. The Lemon Queen sunflowers I received from the Great Sunflower Project are gigantic! They grow at an amazing rate, especially lately. The flowers are now beginning…

Outside My Window ~ 6.14.09
Outside My Window…it was a nice day, not horribly hot or humid. Could have been a little cooler and less humid, but I have experienced worse. We had lots of sunshine for all the walking we did, and that was a lot. We walked the length, up and back, of Duke of Gloucester Street in Colonial Williamsburg, one of the larger building at the Williamsburg Pottery, and a large chunk of the Prime Outlet Mall….we could all have a big bowl of ice cream this evening without guilt ~ yep, lots of walking! I am thinking…about how good it was to see Cheryl and Stephanie after so many years…..and to…

Outside My Window ~ 6.7.2009
Outside My Window…sun is finally coming out……currently 68 degrees with a forecasted high of 80 with a mix of clouds and sun. It is fairly humid outside, probably as a result of all the rain we got Friday evening. And did it rain! I just noticed on the weather channel our rain total for the month of June is 2 ¼ inches……..I wouldn’t be at all surprised if most of that came Friday night. It would pour rain, slack off a little bit for a couple of minutes and then pour rain again. This went on from late afternoon into the night. But everything is so green and clean looking…

Another Tuesday morning run……with something a little different
This morning I was out the door bright and early for my run. It was about 15 minutes before many of the other runs of late, so it was still fairly dark outside, about a half an hour before sunrise. The birds were awake and singing their welcome to the new morning. Their songs were beautiful, and almost deafening. It was as if they were all trying to out-sing each other. I saw many robin redbreasts along my route……many of them in the street, scurrying or flying off as I approached. I could pick out the soft cooing of the morning dove and the loud cackle of the blue jay. I’m sure…

Outside My Window ~ 5.31.2009
Outside My Window…is cloudy at the moment. The sun was peaking through earlier during my run but it appears as if the clouds have taken over for the most part now. Our forecast is for scattered thunderstorms today. I am thinking…about how relieved I am to finally finish all the major work in the flower beds this year. Now I just need to control the weeds, and I’m good to go. I worked outside yesterday (see my earlier blog post for photos) on some weeding maintenance in the corner garden where I removed the stump earlier this spring, and trying to get rid of some decorative grass that my neighbor…

Outside My Window ~ 5.24.2009
Outside My Window…partly cloudy skies and 71 degrees at around 8:15 a.m.. We have a slight chance of late afternoon thunderstorms. Right now there is more sun than clouds but I think that will change as the day progresses. Humidity is pretty high ~ 89%. So far this weekend has been very nice and it looks like today and tomorrow won’t disappoint. I am thinking…about all the chores I want to get done this long weekend. Quite a bit to do, my spring cleaning and would like to attempt to get the kitchen painted if at all possible. It is small so it is a possibility I could work…
