It's too bad the sun didn't stay out more than it was in, but at least it was warmer today than it has been for a handful. I mentioned earlier how much I'm really not ready for such cold days having arrived so early, and should it warm up again, we'l … continue reading

In spite of it still being below 32 degrees nearly the entire day, the sunny skies seemed to make our day feel all the warmer. It's interesting how the sun can brighter our spirits and lighten our loads even on cold days. Oh well, at least it appears … continue reading

Oh my goodness! We sure had a good freeze over the night and when I looked at the thermometer when leaving for work, it was eighteen degrees. Ouch! With that said, we'll be seeing all the rest of our trees loosing the leaves they've been holding fast … continue reading

Our First Tackles

Our First Tackles
Twas a bit on the nippy side again this morning with our humidity hovering around 95% along with a near gale-force wind out of the northwest. It sure doesn't feel like the Octobers I once knew, but such is to be expected when global warming and clima … continue reading

I dare say it couldn't have been a more gloomy day in mid-October with our intermittent light rain and a dampness that entered every exposed pore. Let's just hope we get the moisture we needed and then move on to many more pleasant sun-filled Fall da … continue reading
