Outside My Window ~ 2.6.11
Outside My Window…is another gorgeous Sunday morning. We have blue skies, sunshine and 45°F at 11:15 a.m.. Our high today won’t be much warmer than it is right now…a little chilly but hovering around our average temperature and it doesn’t feel too bad in the sunshine. We did have quite a bit of rain yesterday morning ~ key word, rain. We have been fortunate to miss the ice and snow everyone else seems to be getting but there is a chance of snow this coming Thursday. That is several days off so I won’t be worrying about it for a few days. I am thinking…about all the things I would like…

Outside My Window ~ 10.10.10
Outside My Window…is a beautiful afternoon. Currently at 2:45 p.m. EDT, there are blue skies, sunshine, a slight breeze and 82ºF. Yes….82ºF. Tomorrows forecast is 89ºF with sunshine, blue skies and a slight breeze….as all the days will until Thursday when it will go down into the 70’s. Come back Fall…I like that transition period between summer and winter when the weather cools down to just right and the nights are a bit chilly….excellent for sleeping. I don’t want to go from summer into winter! I am thinking…about my youngest and my Jeep. Today is her big day….her day to finally drive without mom in the car. She is a good…

Outside My Window ~ 10.3.10
Outside My Window…is cloudy, wet and cool. We are currently at 63ºF at 7:00 this evening. The temperature hasn’t varied too much today from our current temp….there has been light rain falling all day on and off. This is my definition of typical fall weather. The trees in my neighborhood are beginning to turn ~ especially the dogwood trees. Rain is forecast for Monday with it clearing off in the evening. Our temperatures are going to stay in the mid sixties to seventy degrees during the day and lows in the mid to upper 50’s in the evenings this week. I’m not complaining…just wish the earlier storm hadn’t revealed the roof leak again. …

Outside My Window ~ 1.24.10
Outside My Window…is a cloudy afternoon around 2:15 pm, and about 65ºF. I believe we have a forecast for rain this evening, rain and wind tomorrow. The temperature is wonderful out, first time in a long time I have been able to go outside without a jacket….comfortably anyway. 🙂 There was sun shine when I woke up, but the clouds quickly took over around noon. I am thinking…about the drive earlier today. I took Cailin out again and happy to report there is good progress. Today we drove for about an hour and a half and approximately 50 miles. We began at Newport News Park and headed north to Williamsburg, drove the Parkway…

Outside My Window ~ 1.17.10
Outside My Window…is gray skies and pouring rain. Currently at 11:00 am, we are at 50ºF with winds at 29 mph. The forecast for today is a high of 58ºF with heavy rain. These temps and the rain should take away any remaining snow we had in the area from over a week ago. Yes, there was some lingering snow…particularly in well shaded areas. When I was driving down the Parkway last week, I noticed there was some snow on the beaches closer to the grassy areas as well. I was surprised to drive by a small pond and see it partially frozen with snow on top of the ice. Again, these are…

She Did Great!
Not one of my best shots but it was taken in a hurry. If you recall, I mentioned yesterday that I would be taking my youngest out on actual roads to practice driving today. Fourteen miles down the Colonial Parkway…she did great….I’m very proud of her. 🙂

Driver Number 2

Outside My Window ~ 1.10.10
Outside My Window…is one word….COLD! Or I should say freezing, like most of the country. At 8:40 am, we are at 26F with winds at around 13mph giving us a 15F wind chill. The skies are blue and the sun is shining, but it is still COLD! Our forecast high for today is 36F and we will drop down to 21F tonight. The daytime temperatures for the coming week will improve but the nights will remain very cold. They are forecasting a high of 50F for Thursday ~ that will feel downright balmy after the temps of the past couple of weeks!! 🙂 I’m hoping this arctic air will let up soon…..I received my…

Outside My Window Today ~ 3.29.09
Outside My Window… very cloudy and windy ~ it looks as if the rains will come any second now. Thunderstorms and wind are forecasted for today. It has rained off and on since Thursday evening. Temps are 66 at 10:00 a.m……..perfect day to be outside getting my garden ready…..too bad it looks as if the sky is going to fall any second! 🙂 I am thinking…what an interesting week it has been in the Watts household. Alanna (my oldest) got her learners permit on Monday. Funny how much time your children suddenly want to spend with you after they get that permit isn’t it? I have been letting her drive…

Learning to Drive
The day has finally come……..my oldest daughter received her Learner’s Permit on Monday and is ready to drive anywhere. I thought I had experienced real fear before ~ I realized Monday morning leaving the DMV that I had not! Not that she did that bad mind you, she actually did pretty good. My fear comes from within the depths of myself….something I’m sure all parents with a new teenaged driver experiences. You want them to learn…. they need to learn…. so you find yourself sitting on your hands to keep from grabbing the wheel most of the time. And who knew your car could take a turn that fast. Your…
