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…

Sunshine and Sunflowers
When I came home Tuesday afternoon, I discovered my neighbor had removed a tree that had blocked the sun from my garden area for a decent portion of the day.

These were taken yesterday evening……we were under a severe thunderstorm warning and tornado watch. In the photo below, you can’t see it but to the right of my shot there were quite a few lightening flashes and you could hear a non-stop rumbling of thunder in a distance. This storm had a history of producing damaging winds and large hail….fortunately we only experienced a soaking rain. And look at…

Outside My Window ~ 4.19.09
Outside My Window…partly sunny at the moment, but more clouds are expected to build throughout the day. It is about 60 degrees right now with a forecasted high of 71. Oddly enough, our air quality is “good”……..I would think with all the pollen coating everything, not so much in the good range. If you want to get an idea of what I’m talking about, I posted a couple of photos of my Jeep coated in pollen on my blog yesterday ~ “Welcome to Virginia“. I am thinking…about all the things I want to get accomplished today. It is quite a list so I’m hopeful I can get through most…
