    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 ~ 9.13.09

    Outside My Window…is bright and sunny, a very nice 73F, light winds ~ enough to make my wind chimes sing to me ~ and 77% humidity.  Last week we were experiencing fall type weather, which included lots of rain.  I heard one day we got almost 5 inches of rain in a relatively short period of time.  It just poured……and poured.  We had two separate non-tropical systems park off the coast for a period.  Winds weren’t too bad either time….or the ones I experienced anyway.  It is forecasted to be in the lowers 80’s today….by mid week, in the upper 80’s and then we will cool down again.  It appears…

    Outside My Window ~ 4.12.09

    Outside My Window…Simply beautiful…..blue skies, not a cloud in sight ~ but we are cool and windy.  It is only 47 degrees with wind gusts up to 23 mph.  We are forecasted to reach the high 50’s, low 60’s.  I guess I can’t complain about that. I am thinking…how I would like another week off to finish up my projects.  I was very optimistic in what I would accomplish this past week…..but I think we all do that when planning time off.  By the time I return to work on Tuesday, I will have finished cleaning up the backyard and the flower bed on the side of the house.  I…

    Welcome Spring ~

    Today, March 20th,  marks the Vernal Equinox…….one of the two days each year between the 19th and the 21st when the night and daylight hours are virtually equal.  The other happens in September.  This is a time of rebirth and celebration as the earth awakens from her winter slumber, flowers and trees bloom and the temperatures begin to warm the ground and our bodies. A beautiful day in my neighborhood………hope yours is too!
