    Outside My Window ~ 5.27.2012

    Outside my window…is nearing the end of another Sunday….another Sunday that found me working away until I realized what time it was.  I have been editing photos this evening until my eyes are crossing so thought it would be a perfect time to do my weekly post….although I didn’t plan on waiting so late in the evening to do so.  We have been enjoying a fabulous Memorial Day weekend thus far….blue skies and sunshine.  The forecast has brought all the folks that are anxious to celebrate the unofficial start of summer to our region….en mass….and people who live in the Hampton Roads area know that traveling will be a challenge…

    Outside My Window ~ 6.5.2011

    Outside my window…is a fairly warm, overcast day.  At almost 2:00 today, the temperature was 78°F which is close to our average for this time of year.  This morning thunder and rain woke me at an early hour….and what a rain storm it was too.  We received about .85 inches of rain ~ enough to fill both my rain barrels back to the top (plus some I’m sure) and soak the heat parched ground.  It had been hot here this past week with temperatures in the low to mid 90’s so the morning rain was welcome.  I had been watering my newly planted seeds as well as other plants with rain water…

    Outside My Window ~ 5.24.2009

      Outside My Window…partly cloudy skies and 71 degrees at around 8:15 a.m..  We have a slight chance of late afternoon thunderstorms.  Right now there is more sun than clouds but I think that will change as the day progresses.  Humidity is pretty high ~ 89%. So far this weekend has been very nice and it looks like today and tomorrow won’t disappoint. I am thinking…about all the chores I want to get done this long weekend.  Quite a bit to do, my spring cleaning and would like to attempt to get the kitchen painted if at all possible.  It is small so it is a possibility I could work…
