That's winter here in southern NY. We get cold weather, of course. Lately, it's been in the mid to upper-twenties. We did have a winter thaw a week or so ago when temps got up into the 40s. (That's Fahrenheit, of course) But the snow--- oh, the snow. What we get is dribbles. An inch … Continue reading Like Being Nibbled to Death by Ducks
Or at least beginning to feel that way? This weather has been crazy! It's been warm and breezy so many days lately, and we are into November. I am not a huge fan of winter, but by this point, I do expect the temps to be a bit colder. Not complaining really, but wow, it's … Continue reading Umm, Isn’t It Supposed To Be Winter?
You're having fun, yes, but also when life throws one thing after another your way. And I don't mean it's been bad. Just busy. And my office here is still not completely back to normal, but it won't be for a while. I am not going to put everything back in order until we get … Continue reading Time Flies When—
Been a bit again, I know. Things have been a bit topsy-turvy again and I have not had the brain capacity to do a lot more than just get through one day at a time. And now, of course, the holidays are roller-coasting over us. I will try, but no promises. After it all settles, … Continue reading I Shall Return, I Promise
Not that anything really dire happened, but I just seemed to run out of time to post here lately. Part of it was, of course, my own fault. I just couldn't seem to get my act together enough to get stuff done, and that left me with no time to give to things that were … Continue reading Unplanned Hiatus
Is how long it's going to rain. Okay, maybe that's an exaggeration and it's only going to rain all week, but it feels like it's going to be forever. It will likely not rain all day every day, but there is rain forecast for most of the week, along with some possible thundershowers. At least … Continue reading Forty Days and Forty Nights
It seems like overnight, all the trees have filled out with leaves. It's good to see all the green out there. Even if something that is growing right now is wreaking havoc with my allergies. It looks like most of what we planted last year is coming back nicely. A couple things I am not … Continue reading Leaves, Everywhere!
January is almost over, with just a few days left. And then we go on into February which is my least favorite month of the year. February always seems so gloomy and unpleasant to me. Not that January was a pretty month, by far. There was a lot of gloomy weather this past month, for … Continue reading One Down, Eleven To Go
If you've hung out here for any length of time, you know I am not one to make a list of New Year resolutions. I think that just sets you up for failure, and I don't like failing! I mean, I fail at enough things that I figure there's no need to add to the … Continue reading New Year, New Something
Fall has fell, and it brought some chilly air with it. The BaldMan pulled the hibiscus into the mudroom because there was a chance of frost a few nights ago. I did some quick cleanup out front on Sunday, and brought in the side hose and sprinkler. There is more color in the trees now, … Continue reading There’s Definitely a Nip in the Air
And So On...
