Outside My Window ~ 7.03.2016
Outside my window….is a cool 70°F with heavy cloud cover afternoon. Lots of humidity too ~ 87%. It poured rain this morning….all morning. The flood canal in back was well over the banks and the side yard was deep with standing water. The grounds are saturated now. I like how everything is so clean….so lush and green…after a rain. It isn’t raining now – hasn’t been for a couple of hours. It is about 2:50 Sunday afternoon and the skies look like they may not be finished with the rain. There is a 40% chance of rain in my area for the rest of the night. Unless there is considerable…

Outside My Window ~ 01.04.2015
Outside My Window…is a unbelievably warm day and not at all like the photograph I choose as the background outside my window above. We currently have mostly cloudy skies and a temperature of 71ºF….yes, you read that right. A high of 76ºF has been forecast for today. Hardly what I would expect for January 4th. But don’t get too excited folks because we are going to drop about 30º for tomorrows high of only 46ºF and really get a jolt on Thursday when our high is only forecast for 28ºF. Crazy ass weather. We have been snow free thus far this winter and thunderstorms are in our forecast for today.…

Outside My Window ~ 9.9.2013
Outside my window…is a Monday rather than a Sunday so I have Williamsburg in my view. Currently we are at 83°F with mostly cloudy skies. The forecast for the week looks very much the same as today…. mostly sunshine and temperatures warming up to the low 90’s by mid-week. It has been quite dry, I believe the last measurable rainfall was on August 29th. I wouldn’t mind a few days of a rain…the soaking variety would be welcome…and cooler temperatures. I could possibly get my wish this Saturday for cooler with a forecast of 72°F for the high and a low of 58°F. I’m very ready for fall…summer and the heat needs to go away. I…

A Somber Anniversary
I began to create outside my window several times today, and it just wasn’t working. Today is an anniversary that I wish wasn’t so….but it is what it is and we learn to live with a life that has changed. Instead of the normal chatter, I’m featuring something that was written by my sister’s friend….about Bob ~ a brother, a husband, a father, a Papa…. We miss you Papa!

Once again….

Outside My Window ~ 7.29.2012
Outside my window…are the closing hours of my vacation. Back to work tomorrow….I have decided I would like to have time off more often than not. Sigh. It is close to 8:45 in the evening and we are at 79°F with 78% humidity….the dew point is 72° and the winds are calm….sounds lovely outside doesn’t it? {insert sarcastic laughter here} The temperature is cooler than the past several evenings but high humidity is never pleasant, trust me. The rest of the week will be in the mid to high eighties with chances of thunderstorms…pretty typical for this time of year. I spent the past week in South Carolina while they…

Outside My Window ~ 6.24.2012
Outside my window…is a beautiful albeit hot day. Blue skies….sunshine….puffy white clouds for the most part. I am noticing some of the clouds are getting darker though….there is a chance for scattered thunderstorms this afternoon. Right now it is 87°F with 47% humidity and a very slight breeze is present….very slight. The low humidity is keeping the heat index at about the same level as our temperature. I’m happy for this warm day….to see the sun shine…but at the same time, it doesn’t feel right either. I’m thinking about…so many things the past 36 or so hours….since I found out my step-father had passed away in the early morning hours…

Papa Harris
He always had a smile…. ….and one of the biggest hearts. He loved horses….fishing….Nascar….and a cold beer on a hot day. When someone needed help, he never hesitated. He was honored to serve his country in the Navy…. ….and after retiring from the military worked as a butcher. He was an excellent cook….I loved his fried rice. And without a doubt, he loved his family. Tonight our hearts are broken…. ….we love and miss you Papa.
