good morning Judy, yes, I'm thankful to be in Florida each Winter because of the milder temps. We've had quite bit of cold recently but nothing to complain about compared to parts north. Phil saw his shadow this morning but regardless we know Spring is just around the corner!
good morning Judy, we didn't get enough rain to share or even enough for us, mostly just a light drippy rain and cold temps. Was glad to see the sun come out Sat. morning and warm us up a little. Hope your new week is off to a good start. Sure don't like it getting dark at 5:30 now but at least the sun being up this morning made it easier to get up. Enjoy your day!
Good Morning Judy. Thank you for your kind words about my page. We are socked in with a chilly rain today and it feels even colder because we just had a sunny week that spoiled us.
We had over and inch of rain yesterday with a beautiful 30 minute Texas rain storm. It was a warm front moving up from South Texas. Needless to say, the grass was a little more than wet and the girls weren't interested in going out.
When we get lots of rain, especially when the ground is already soaked, we have a river that runs through the entire back yard. Then around 6:30 am this morning, we had a cool front come through moving at 55 mph. It only took 10 minutes to get another .8" of rain. It was magnificent with lots of lightning (which I love). BUT, guess what...
The SUN is shining for the first time in about 5 days and that is a very long time for us in Texas. So here is to a Blessed week for all of us!
Each day we start with temperatures just cold enough that my plants that are covered or in garage will not like it uncovered or outside. But we are going to chance it for a day or two. Hopefully we don't get a surprise freeze, even though I don't think any meteorologist in the Dallas area can predict the weather accurately. Then if it is warm enough, I might cut back some things that got burned in the last freeze. But I would rather sit down and read. I have a great Christian fiction book on my kindle that is calling my name.
So what ever you decide to do today, share your smile with someone who needs it. Oh, and that housecleaning Fairy did get lots of stuff thrown out but my goodness there is so much more to do.
What a year this has been! I think we are all ready for a new beginning. This last week of the year I am babysitting the chickens next door. They have 6 chickens and get 6 eggs a day. Can you believe it?
I am not one that changes my homepage very often, but I just couldn't resist this picture. I have a friend who designs tutorials and she asked a mutual friend to help with the coding. So I hope you like my new page and the quote. I am beyond excited!
Sure hope you had a terriffic week and are getting ready for an extra special weekend. After all, next Friday will be Christmas. Can you believe it? Are you sure you are almost ready?
We were below freezing all night but it has finally warmed up today. I worked on all my Orchids (13) and Christmas Cactus (3) that were sure glad to see sunshine. The cactus is blooming and the orchids should start next month.
Hope you enjoy your evening, for now I'll wish you Blessings and Hugs!
Just ten more days... Are you ready? I am still waiting on a couple of things. Just heard my heater come on as we are still chilly in Texas! Have you every heard of Cocoa Bombs? They seem to be all the rage around here. Sent the recipe to all my friends hoping someone will make them and share with us. Blessings & Hugs along with...
