Outside My Window ~ 5.15.11
Outside my window…is a Sunday that didn’t quite know what it wanted to do. Cloudy….rain….sun….cloudy….more rain….more sun. Currently, at 8:00 p.m., we are at 72°F with cloudy skies…there may even be a few rain drops falling as I sit here. Looks like we have had a little over a quarter inch of rain in the past 24 hours ~ I think most of that fell last night during some storms that moved through our area. When I went to bed it was raining quite hard with lots of lightening and thunder. It is quite humid outside right now, 78%…and if you are doing any type of activity out there right now, you know it. I…

Outside My Window ~ 4.17.11
Outside My Window…is bright blue skies….lots of sunshine….some wind….and about 59°F at 11:15 a.m. this fine Sunday morning. Our forecast high is 67°F with lots of sunshine and wind. That is to be expected after a cold front moves through the area I suppose..the wind. Yesterday was quite different ~ I woke up to cloudy skies, the kind that are dark and heavy and move quietly over you. I don’t believe the sun made an appearance at all yesterday. Later, the television began a series of warning alerts with advisories that we had severe thunderstorms and possible tornadoes moving our way. As the sun set, the alerts came more often…the skies…

Blooms
Don’t you love this time of year when the trees are in bloom? I wish they would last longer.

Last Gasp
With our colder temperatures at night, I have seen the last of my morning glories. Until next year.

Blooming
I brought my hibiscus plant inside not too long ago. The temperatures at night were getting below their comfort zone. They won’t survive the winter outside in my region. It is doing wonderfully in the house by my back door. And blooming inside now. I love waking up to these beautiful blooms. They make me smile.

65
On January 1st of this year, I decided to do a post on each day of the year. I’m not going to lie to you….it hasn’t been easy. There have been days when I sit and stare at the computer. And look at photo after photo after photo. Then I have to decide what to write. And I got nothing…zippo….zero. Like tonight. 😐 65 days to go….

Outside My Window ~ 10.18.10
Outside My Window…is a nice cool evening as the sun sets. The temperature is about 62ºF with a slight breeze. The day was lovely…sunshine…tonight they are forecasting clouds and a slight chance of rain in the next couple of days ~ very slight. I noticed on my way in to work today that you can see a subtle change in the color of the leaves. The image I’m using as my fall Outside My Window photograph was taken last October at Lake Matoaka ~ located on the campus of the College of William and Mary. I think I may have to take another walk around campus again soon to get some…
