    Outside My Window ~ 11.29.09

    Outside My Window…is bright, blue, sun shiny skies.  The temperature this morning at 8:45 is 49F with very light winds.  The humidity is low ~ for us anyway ~ at 59%.  Any morning you wake up with no dew on the windshield, you know the humidity is low that morning.   Our forecast for today is  67F with partly cloudy skies.  With the exception of Wednesday and Friday, we have had pretty decent weather during my time off.   Rain showers are in the forecast for tomorrow.  I noticed our precipitation for the month of November is already at 11.19 inches……10 of which was received during Nor’Ida earlier this month.  It has been a soggy month. I…

    Outside My Window ~ 7.12.09

    Outside My Window…actually, I am sitting on my back patio ‘outside my window’……errr, sliding glass doors.  I have finished my 2.25 run on this beautiful, 78 degree, fairly muggy morning.  And oh yes, it was hot when I was running.  As I said, I am now in my tiny backyard enjoying a cup of blackberry sage iced tea (in my cool Catalina Island cup ~ ahhhh, Avalon ~ thanks Doo!) as I cool down.  I thought “why not” sit out here and do my thing because after the run this morning, it actually feels nice and cool sitting here.   🙂 I am thinking…why a couple of my tomato leaves on…

    Outside My Window ~ 6.7.2009

    Outside My Window…sun is finally coming out……currently 68 degrees with a forecasted high of 80 with a mix of clouds and sun.  It is fairly humid outside, probably as a result of all the rain we got Friday evening.  And did it rain!  I just noticed on the weather channel our rain total for the month of June is 2 ¼ inches……..I wouldn’t be at all surprised if most of that came Friday night.  It would pour rain, slack off a little bit for a couple of minutes and then pour rain again.  This went on from late afternoon into the night.  But everything is so green and clean looking…

    Outside My Window ~ 5.31.2009

    Outside My Window…is cloudy at the moment.  The sun was peaking through earlier during my run but it appears as if the clouds have taken over for the most part now.  Our forecast is for scattered thunderstorms today. I am thinking…about how relieved I am to finally finish all the major work in the flower beds this year.  Now I just need to control the weeds, and I’m good to go.  I worked outside yesterday (see my earlier blog post for photos) on some weeding maintenance in the corner garden where I removed the stump earlier this spring, and trying to get rid of some decorative grass that my neighbor…

    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…

    Outside My Window Today ~ 4.5.09

    Outside My Window…is an amazingly beautiful day right now….a bright blue, sunny sky ~ not a cloud in sight ~ and 61 degrees.  High today is forecasted to be 70 degrees……..yea baby!  But all good things must come to an end…..clouds will come later this evening…..thunderstorms on Monday but still warm and then the mid 50’s on Tuesday!!  Ouch. I am thinking…about all the things I want to get done around my house ~ inside and outside ~ during my time off this next week.  On my list of things to do is to get the flower garden on the side of my house in order.  I’m hoping I get…
