Remember last week when I said I sometimes thought it would be nice if it just snowed here? Yeah, well, it looks like Mother Nature was listening. This is what I have outside right now: Predictions are 12-18 with up to 22 inches in some areas. Be careful what you wish for, right? On a … Continue reading Maybe I Should Have Kept My Big Mouth Shut
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?
Yeah, we hit that magic time of the year when we head into Daylight Saving Time. Or as I like to think of it, jet lag for the non-traveling. Here's a short but interesting article on DST and how it got started. (Hint: It may not be what you think.) Daylight Saving Time I say … Continue reading I’m Jet Lagged and I Didn’t Even Go Anywhere
Things did not go as hoped on Wednesday when I took Lambeau to the vet. She started to take the staples out, but the bottom part of the incision seemed to be pulling a bit still. So, a few are out in the top part, but there is one new staple at the bottom, and … Continue reading What’s Going On Around Here
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
We are heading into another week of multiple days of rain. We had a drought for weeks and weeks, and now, we are having our monsoon period. Okay, maybe not quite monsoons, but it's been raining almost daily for over a week. The lawns, flowers, and other plants love it, and we truly did need … Continue reading Well, We Said We Wanted Rain….
Yep, it's another cloudy, gloomy, rainy day. At least, it's trending warmer again and that will continue for most of the week. We may even see some sun! And to top it all off, today is also colonoscopy prep day for me. Yay! But that does give me the chance to preach a bit. <soapbox>When … Continue reading Rainy Days and Sundays
It snowed a bit yesterday. The depth on the deck is about a food. I haven't measured out back on the ground. It started mid-afternoon yesterday and ended sometime last night. It was also quite windy, so the stuff was blowing all over. There were periods where the accumulation was in inches per hour. Made … Continue reading We Can Has Snow!
My brain has not been all that coherent lately. Everything seems to work in fits and starts, and I can't maintain any sort of momentum. Sure, I could blame the pandemic and a few other things, but I don't think any one of them is really what's going on. Maybe it's just a combination of … Continue reading Monday Musings: Short Takes
And So On...
