Very chilly here today. Sunny though. We will warm up next week ...rain will follow. Missed Donald's speech yesterday, so will catch up later today. Have a wonderful weekend Darlene -:)
'Tis Friday! Yayyyy! Lots of us will be in the deep freeze for a few days, some w/snow, some w/o. Stay warm & safe! Yes, I remember "fish on fridays" from grade school lunchroom days. Fish is one of our favs, any day of the week:) The South is famous for our fried catfish fillets. Absolute tastiness... w/hushbuppies, slaw, pickled onion, fried pickles and fries. Have a good one, dear Darlene!
The sun is quickly warming the air from 14º to 28º this morning. Doc appmt day for DH, then takey-outey BBQ for our meal. Make this a really good day, Darlene:) *hugs*
I hope that whatever you are doing today, you have a terrific Tuesday. Chilly in my area and I plan to do some crafting and puttering around. What are you up to? Make it a great one! Darlene, you mentioned the sparkles on the snow and it brought back fond memories. I, too, loved that. At night it was like tiny stars on the ground and, in daylight, it could blind you with it's shine and glitter. Enjoy the snow enough for me, too, please.
No snow here, but it got close..just 90 minutes North, it is a winter wonderland. Not even any rain..which we don't need. Looking at the extended forecast, end of next week we wioo see mid 60'x. Spring arrives March 19 this time..it's going to be a bumpy ride no doubt -:)
Happy sunny Sunday to you. At least I hope it's sunny in some way. We buzzed to the store for bird seed and a few craft supplies and now I intend to say my Hill hellos and rest! Have a nice afternoon and evening. Darlene, I'd love to meet you in that imaginary coffee shop with snow falling outside the windows. And I also wish we could bottle some of the cold air for those stifling summer days. If only, huh?
What a difference a day makes. Yesterday was horrendous and today is sunny and cold. We got just over 3" rain and the wind did a bit of damage to things but it could've been much worse. Dave is working on repairing our arbor that fell partway over and and came to rest on a fence. The little fish pond overflowed and the backyard was a swamp. But today, with the sun shining, life is better and MJCH prettier. I hope this storm system wasn't unkind to you. Enjoy today, Darlene!
Yayyy!! You got snow!! I bet it's beautiful laying as it was falling... I can smell it. Isn't it cozy inside w/the snow outside:) Y'all keep warm, Darlene. Enjoy! *hugs* -di
Have a warm and restful Sunday. Darlene, Lisa lives about 20 minutes from me. She lives very near to where our oldest daughter works at the doctor's office. Dave commented yesterday that if all the rain we've had was snow, we'd be buried. More rain coming again Tuesday. More rain=more mud. Not too excited about that.
Hi Darlene. A quiet day here and apart from the usual house chores I've not done anything exciting. All the usual Group activities that I go to are on their Xmas break and won't commence until the end of this month or early next.
It's been Humid and thundery weather here these past two days. We have had some rain but so far have missed out on the heavy storms that are causing flooding in many areas. Mainly in the built up City places where the water can't run off. The rains that we have had this summer are good for the Countryside and also the gardens and keeps everything fresh and green.
There's a Gardening show on TV as I sit here. There has been quite a few good tips on this time. Usually it's a bit "Ho Hum" but not so today. I'll definately be trying out one of the tips. Will be a project for sometime this week.
I will catch up again soon. Hugs and take care. Pat.
Rain fell till mid day. Folks N of us got freezing rain briefly. I believe we will see more rain with wind on Tuesday. See y'all did get snow today. I had looked at the weather radar this morning and much of PA and OH was in blue (snow). Cooked a pork bbq in slow cooker, so leftovers for a few days. Enjoy the rest of your weekend and new week ahead.
The first Saturday of the new year... wow. I hope snow comes your way w/this front coming thru. Do you take pics of events and post in your gallery? Whatever you do today, share lotsa smiles, Darlene!
Fantastic Friday to you! A sunny, cold morning here and not to get out of the 40s today. What's going on at your house? Do you plan to do anything out of the ordinary this weekend? Whatever today and the weekend brings, be safe and enjoy every minute! Darlene, when I was a kid, we (the neighbor kids and us) would sled on our road. Get a good running start and we'd FLY down the road. I lived in the country and we always had a lookout for cars approaching. Oh it was so much fun. I don't recall ever building a snow fort but we did build plenty of snowmen. Living on the lake, we had a lot of lake effect snowfalls. Snow plows would plow the roads and Dads everywhere would be out with shovels to clear the ends of driveways from the pile up the plows had left.
If we had snow, it'd be a fine day to take the cat for a sled ride. It's sunny and cold. However I have no snow, a cat that would have NOTHING to do with a sled, and I am missing a sled, to boot! Pitiful, isn't it? Snow or not, I plan to enjoy this day and I hope you have a nice day, too, Darlene. Tomorrow's Friday.
Here we are: midweek of our first week of 2024. I do hope this year doesn't fly by as fast as all the years previous but I have a feeling it will. What are you up to today? I have done my Wednesday work and I'm waiting for towels to get dry so I can fold them and put them away. It's a good day and I plan for it to continue. Hope the same for you! Darlene, being a former Yankee, I am well familiar with the pork and sauerkraut dinner! However I did not make it this year. I roasted a whole chicken. My middle daughter, Melanie, made the traditional "back home" meal, though.
Today to be chilly here; high 42º. I'm reading of a storm coming to the northeast U.S. this weekend. Be safe & warm wherever you are! Happy Wednesday, Darlene:) *hugs*
We had ham, blackeyed peas, broccoli & cornbread. Have no idea how collards are cooked, or spinach, or kale. We're not fans. NY leftovers in freezer; it's time now for s'ghetti and garlic toast! I'm hoping this year slows down a little bit... how 'bout you, Darlene? :)
It's a beautiful, crisp winter day and a fine welcome to the new year. I'm doing little to nothing today, how about you? Have a wonderful January 1 and a blessed year, friend. Darlene, I was in bed reading when the clock struck midnight. Do I know how to party, or what? We no longer have an Applebees in our town. Ours kind of went downhill before they closed it.
