Here we are at the 20th of April and it's feeling like we're still in the month of March. It was good to get the rain today, which should help to kick-start the greening-up of our landscapes, but the gray skies and dampness all day, wasn't.
Most of my morning was spent clearing more "stuff" from surfaces at my office, and most of it was comprise … continue reading

Converted Into Ukrainian Fertilizer
The wind had finally calmed by the time morning arrived which made for a more endurable day in spite of it still being a bit chilly. I dare say I've been wearing my winter coat far longer this Spring than in many of the past, and of course it's all due to that biting north wind.
Most of my morning was spent following up on past showings of my li … continue reading

What My Centenarian Said
In spite of the the sun coming out, that bitterly cold wind spoiled what could've been a pleasant day. I'm noticing more people are finally waking up to the fact that we're getting far more windy days than we've ever had, which is causing more concern over the growing season we have ahead of us. It seems these weather abnormalities are taking place … continue reading

Pleasantly Memorable 2022 Easter
It was certainly a much more endurable day today than yesterday, and definitely due to the fact the wind wasn't blowing freezing air on us. Yes, we did have a light wind blowing from an east/southeasterly direction, but that was totally acceptable.
With having arrived at office a little earlier, I managed to get to my quiet little corner and com … continue reading

Here’s Comes Peter Cottontail
As much as I'd planned on getting much done outdoors today, It ended much sooner than expected and only due to that bone-chilling wind. In spite of my having dressed warmly, along with my winter hat on, I just couldn't take anymore than a about a half hour of it because my fingers were freezing and my cheeks were getting numb. So much for it being … continue reading

Many Names Other Than Mother
As much as I'd hoped for a calm day after having to endure yesterday's near gale-force winds, it didn't happen. Of course the wind was not even a quarter of what it was, but still there and continuing to annoy. Yes, I had to wear my winter coat this morning because it was twenty-six degrees outside when I left for work. What little water there was … continue reading

Putin The Spook
Oh my goodness! The wind today was enough to make a person want to go out and spit three times. Of course with it being a westerly, made it feel all the more like one of those evil straight-liners that've done so much damage in the past. Yes, we are definitely living in the windy City of the north.
I did manage to get my two new listing dissemin … continue reading

Continue To Lose Morale
I'm sure you all of you living in North Iowa have stories to tell about the storm we had last night. Wow! When looking at the photos posted on KIMT of the destructive force of that wind, I'd say we had another near-repeat of what we got this past December. I was trying to see how much rain Worth County received because while driving up to Northwood … continue reading

Putin’s Ecclesiastical Minion
The wind was back in full force again today to the point I had to hold onto my car door when getting in and out, just to make sure the wind didn't rip it off. Yes, that's how windy it was today. Of course our Downtown wind tunnels make it even worse. I had to laugh to myself when looking at how the wind had started blowing the mulch our City worker … continue reading

I Could Name Names
We finally had a pleasant day to where the wind wasn't in our faces all the time, and now that the sun is growing closer, it's warming rays are being more distinctly felt. Oh how nice it will be when we can sit outdoors and enjoy the coming days without having to be layered to the hilt with heavy clothing.
Most of my day was one where I pretty m … continue reading
