Waiting For Dinner
Yesterday I heard a constant bird chirping outside the kitchen window so I went to investigate. Sometimes it is a cat lurking about and the birds are sounding the alarm. This time someone was letting me know I needed to fill the bird feeder…. My camera was close by so as the bird sang her song I grabbed it and took a couple of shots. I knew if I walked over and attempted to raise the blinds…food or no food, she would have been gone so I focused in on her and hoped for the best. Not too bad actually…and how cute is she posing for me? I did go out and…

Outside My Window ~ 9.20.09
Outside My Window…is a beautiful almost fall morning. We are at 65F with 73% humidity, sunny with blue skies. The forecast is for a high of 78F with patchy clouds. Beautiful. The dogwood tree leaves are beginning to turn…..they are generally the first to turn around here. I have noticed quite a few berries on mine this year. It appears that when I get a lot of berries in the fall, I get more blooms the following spring. I am thinking…about how quickly summer seemed to fly by. It doesn’t seem like that long ago I was stressing over Alanna’s prom dress and graduation. Now school has started again and…

Skippity Doo Dah
It’s finally Friday…….Skippity Doo Dah!! 🙂 I don’t know about anyone else, but for me one of the hardest weeks at work are the ones that immediately follow time off. The clock couldn’t have moved any slower today ~ by 11 it felt like it should have been time to go! Needless to say, the plans to prep the kitchen for painting never happened this week. I did get some things accomplished, but not that. This weekend will be too nice to stay indoors anyhow so it is probably a good thing I didn’t. I plan to finish the outside flower bed by making it much smaller. Right now it…

A Day Outside
I had to venture out yesterday and took the opportunity to take a short drive down the Colonial Parkway. I didn’t run into many blooming dogwoods….there were a few but not at locations where I could get some photos. I will try again in a couple of days and will hopefully run across many more. While I had the camera on hand, I took a few photos I wanted to share……. I love odd shaped trees and this one caught my eye…..see how blue our sky was on April 8th! 🙂 When we got home…….I snapped a few outside the house………my dogwood tree a closeup of one of the blooms…… a…

Outside My Window Today ~ 4.5.09
Outside My Window…is an amazingly beautiful day right now….a bright blue, sunny sky ~ not a cloud in sight ~ and 61 degrees. High today is forecasted to be 70 degrees……..yea baby! But all good things must come to an end…..clouds will come later this evening…..thunderstorms on Monday but still warm and then the mid 50’s on Tuesday!! Ouch. I am thinking…about all the things I want to get done around my house ~ inside and outside ~ during my time off this next week. On my list of things to do is to get the flower garden on the side of my house in order. I’m hoping I get…
