The Rain is Showing Its Ass Today In More Ways Than One

Not only are we experiencing flooding in my area, but my bathroom ceiling sprung a leak last night. The bad part is that John can't even begin to see where the roof is leaking from because it has not stopped raining for the past few days and my neck of the woods is showing rain until tomorrow...

The Calm After the Storm and A Lovely Surprise While Surveying the Yard

I feel so much relief in that whatever crazy weather was going to happen somehow managed to pass us by completely except for some thunder and a few hours of heavy rain. It is completely calm outdoors now with no wind or rain. The sun is attempting to break through the clouds and the birds are back... Sign in to see full entry.

I Am Dreading This Afternoon's Weather Prediction

Thankfully, John is off work today, so I don't have to deal with the predicted severe weather alone. We expect 58 MPH winds, thunderstorms, and hail around 4:00 pm today. We secured the yard the best that we could this morning. Now, all we can do is wait and hope for the best. 🙏 Sign in to see full entry.

It's A Soggy and Humid Day Here in Pittsburgh This Morning

I got out and enjoyed an afternoon walk yesterday, and once the rain stops this afternoon I plan to take another one before the high winds ruin any chance of enjoying the 64-degree weather today. Tomorrow my area of the planet like much of the U.S. is expected to be hit with damaging winds, hail,... Sign in to see full entry.

I Have Hot Plans for This Chilly and Wet Day

Easter is tomorrow, but my hubby is working a double at the steel mill for the religious holiday, so I will make our Easter dinner today and pack it in his lunchbox so that he does not miss out on the good eats tomorrow. I am making a spiral ham that will be slathered with several spices, honey, and... Sign in to see full entry.

Another Warm and Sunny Day Just Perfect for Taking a Walk

We have been walking along our river in the woods this past week looking for wild ferns to transplant in our yard. During our walks in the woods over the past few years, we have located Tiger Lilies and several other flower varieties that have helped make our yard the perfect woodland creature...

Sunny and Warm Outdoors, It's That Time of Year Once Again for This Treat

I absolutely love a fresh tomato sandwich that is made with sliced Beefsteak tomatoes, has been properly salted & peppered, with the tomatoes nestled between two lightly toasted slices of good sourdough bread that have been slathered with Hellman's or Duke's mayonnaise. Sign in to see full entry.

Such A Short-Lived Life for What Was Once the Third Biggest Mall in America

The demolition begins today on the Century III Mall in West Mifflin, just seven miles from my house. The mall was built on a former slag dump in 1979 and closed in 2019. It was once the third-largest mall in America. Century III Mall was a popular destination for four decades, attracting millions of... Sign in to see full entry.
