Outside My Window ~ 12.13.09
Outside My Window…is rain! Yes, rain……cause everyone knows we could sure use it. We were actually in danger of some of the larger puddles drying out! 🙂 Seriously though…….it is raining, again. The forecast for today is to receive about a half an inch today. In normal conditions, a half an inch wouldn’t really mean all that much…..in our current condition, it just adds to the saturation. Right now at 9:30 a.m. we are at 56F, which is a great improvement over the 33F mornings we have been experiencing these last few days. We won’t get much warmer today, only a high of 59F. This temperature high will only last a couple of…

Outside My Window ~ 11.15.09
Outside My Window…is no wind and rain! Yeah! Fortunately, the low pressure system that caused us so many problems is well off the coast of North Carolina now. I woke up early and saw some blue skies while the sun was rising, but clouds took over. I just looked outside and it looks like that is attempting to burn off right now. We are at 55F right now with about 87% humidity, but the best part….winds are non-existent!! Our high is suppose to reach 72F today with partly cloudy skies. We are still under a coastal flood watch until around 10 this morning. I guess all the folks right on the coast…

Outside My Window ~ 11.1.2009
Outside My Window…is a cloudy and windy morning. Right now it is 59F with winds at about 17 mph. We are at our high temp for the day right now. It was cloudy and 80F yesterday. Welcome to Virginia weather. On the weather channel I noticed there is another low off the coast of North Carolina which means rain today and probably tonight….and the rain has arrived as well as the wind. The rest of the week will be in the 60’s during the day, low 40’s at night. The new image above was taken outside my patio doors actually…..I had not closed my blinds last night and caught this…

Outside My Window ~ 10.25.09
Outside My Window…is quite cloudy….the temp is 59F with forecasted high of about 67F and cloudy skies today. Not quite as hot as it has been the past few days….yesterday was a balmy 82F. The one thing I don’t especially enjoy about fall and/or spring weather….you are never quite sure what type of clothes you will need for the day ~ sweaters or shorts? I am thinking…about how quickly this year has gone by. It doesn’t seem possible it is the final week of October…..it seems like I was just writing about the spring season not so long ago ~ now we are well into fall and heading towards winter. I…

Outside My Window ~ 10.18.09
Outside My Window…is gray, gloomy and windy. At 7:30 a.m., it is 49F but could feel colder if you were outside because of the wind. We are on the tail end of a double nor’easter that came through the end of last week. The high today will be a whopping 3 degrees warmer than it is right now…..52F. I had to turn the heat on for the first time yesterday. We are forecasted to receive a bit more rain…..but the pavement is dry right now. I am thinking…how in the world three people can mess a house up so quickly? And to make matters worse, we are not here…

Outside My Window ~ 9.27.09
Outside My Window…are the remnants of a morning shower. I woke up to rain, which allowed me to roll over and sleep a bit longer. It is 72F at 10:30 this morning. I believe we are finished with the rain showers and will spend the rest of the day under cloudy skies. Temperatures have been unseasonably cool the last few days, but we will get up to the 80’s today and tomorrow. Temps will then drop back down to the low 70’s for the remainder of the week with sunshine. If all goes as forecasted, we should have a very nice week. I have noticed some of the trees are…

Outside My Window ~ 8.23.09
Outside My Window…is a decent morning. Temps are 81F with 68% humidity at 11:00 this morning. Yes, it is quite toasty and muggy outside. What was beautiful, blue, sun shiny skies is now filling with clouds. We are forecasted today to have thunderstorms this afternoon. This is pretty typical weather for this time of year actually. Yesterday afternoon we had an enormous amount of rain from the front that passed through….the same one that kept Hurricane Bill away from the coast. I am thinking…about my things to do list…….and how grateful I am that Alanna remembered the time she got caught in a rip current when we were at Nags…

Playing with Actions…
I ran across an amazing blog……Rita creates free actions and textures for Photoshop/Photoshop Elements/Lightroom at CoffeeShop….and she has giveaways too. If you have any interest in editing/adding effects to your photos, you definitely need to give her space a look. This is a photo I took at my mothers Thursday evening as the sun was setting on that side of the house. I used CoffeeShop Golden Vintage and CoffeeShop Burn plus old paper effect on PSE. There are tutorials available for installing the actions and beautiful photo examples. Rita is a talented artist and editor……take at look at some of her work at CoffeeShop.
