If This Is Global Warming…
bring it on!!! Every morning since Monday, we walk out the front door into a snow flurry. It’s beautiful, but the snow doesn’t stick. It’s gone by ten or so. We don’t usually get this kind of thing here. We’re in the South, after all, and it’s very unusual for us to even get snow. […]
What a Wild Day!
It was actually almost warm this morning when we left the house. It was raining a little, but it wasn’t bad. It rained off and on all morning, but it was still fairly warm at lunch time — a little cooler than at 8 a.m., but still not cold. They say the high today was […]
It’s Raining; It’s Pouring!
Rain! Finally! Rain! It’s been unbearably hot and humid here, but no rain in sight, for weeks. We were 10 inches under the normal rainfall amounts for our area.

I bought some fans yesterday, three small high-velocity fans, and an oscillating tower fan. Keeping the living room and […]

I discovered the other day that the kidlets had outgrown their boots, so I needed to get them some. I also needed to get some mittens for the mitten tree […]
Changes in Attitude … Changes in …
… well, barometric pressure, at any rate. There are storms coming in and out of our area this afternoon, and the resultant roller-coaster of barometric pressure, temperature, and humidity have conspired to keep me in a lethargic funk all afternoon. I really had intended to get a good bit of housework done, but I haven’t […]
