    Outside My Window ~ 12.30.2012

    Outside my window…is a cold and blustery day.  There is sunshine….there is blue skies…but there is also northwest winds blowing at 23 mph.  It is about 3:00 in the afternoon and our current temperature is at 46°F…factor in the wind and it feels like 38°F.  A bit brisk outside.  We had quite a bit of rain the day after Christmas and again yesterday but today has been dry, humidity is even quite low at 33%.  We are forecast to dip down to 29°F this evening….might be a good night for a fire.

    Outside My Window ~ 9.30.2012

    Outside my window…is a beautiful fall morning.  Right now at 10:45 this morning, we are 67°F with sunshine and blue skies.  The humidity is a bit high at 61% but it is tolerable because the temperature is at a decent level.  Our forecast high today is 73°F with light winds and a very low probability of rain…you couldn’t ask for a better day.  Tomorrow will be much like today with a greater chance of afternoon showers.  Tuesday  will be warmer with a high chance of thunderstorms.  The temperature for the rest of the week will be much warmer until a weekend cool down.  I don’t know about anyone else but…

    Well Worn

    I’m working on some textures and overlays this evening and eventually worked my way to creating some worn pages.  I like vintage….I like old….I look at it and can’t help but wonder what tales could be told from the worn item in front of me.  I can remember exploring this old house near my grandparents farm…the treasures we found inside.  Old magazines, newspapers…it was fascinating.  My only regret is I wasn’t smart enough to hang on to any of them.  🙂

    Sometimes

    Sometimes you don’t know what to do…so you do what you love…because it comes naturally. I know why the caged bird sings, ah me, When his wing is bruised and his bosom sore,– When he beats his bars and he would be free; It is not a carol of joy or glee, But a prayer that he sends from his heart’s deep core, But a plea, that upward to Heaven he flings– I know why the caged bird sings! ~ Excerpt from Sympathy by Paul Laurence Dunbar
