Outside My Window ~ 11.6.2011
Outside my window…is the first evening after daylight savings time ended. It is about ten minutes until eight but it feels much later than that. It has been dark forever….how can it not even be 8:00 yet?!?! It is currently 48°F with calm winds. Calm winds were not the norm around here this past weekend. The last nor’easter that visited and quickly pulled away on Friday left a path of heavy winds all day Saturday. Today wasn’t as bad but still breezy….especially near the James River late this afternoon. We warmed up to about 60°F today which is close to average for the area. Looks like we will stay in…

Outside My Window ~ 11.7.10
Outside My Window…is blue skies and sunshine ~ a beautiful day in the neighborhood albeit a windy one. The temperature at 11:00 a.m. is 49ºF with winds at about 17mph, gusting up to 25mph which makes it feel like 43ºF outside. A bit nippy for sure! This may be our coldest day yet this season. Our forecast high is 53ºF with windy conditions expected all day long and a low tonight of 36ºF. We are a little below our average with these temperatures. Right now it appears that the week will be just as beautiful but because of the chilly temperatures at night, I have brought all the plants inside that…

Last night, I was organizing some files on my computer when I ran across the folder of photos I had taken one afternoon at Lion’s Bridge. I had posted the above image and mentioned that I would write more about him ~ and then I promptly forgot. I need to work on that! 🙂 Lion’s Bridge is actually a dam. Information regarding Lion’s Bridge as taken from the Mariner Museum web site: Known as the Lion’s Bridge, the dam forming the lake provides a breathtaking view of the James River, as well as a family gathering place to enjoy the Museum Park. The beauty of the dam is enhanced by…

Estate Sales
This past Saturday I was up bright and early for my run and then off to a couple of estate sales I found online. I knew one would more than likely have a wonderful view of the James River, and it did not disappoint…….. As you can see, it was a beautiful morning and the view was amazing. The little spit of land you can see across the James River is part of Ft. Eustis Army Base. What looks like buildings are actually ships….part of the Ghost Fleet that is anchored in the James River. After I made my purchases, I asked permission to take some photos of the view…
