I Saw a Strange Sight in My Yard This Morning for This Time of Year

Technically, for much of the U.S., it is still winter as far as the weather is concerned, including my neck of the woods.

I Discovered This Happy Surprise in My Yard This Morning

Despite it being nowhere near spring, my Daffodils and Tulips are making a stand that states otherwise. The beauty is that these guys are frost-resistant in the case that "Old Man Winter" decides to wreak havoc on them. Sign in to see full entry.

It Has Been Years Since I Last Played Bingo

John doesn't get many days off at the mill, but when he does, we make them count. After a day of shopping, lunch, and a few phone calls to locate a rental hall, we met with the event coordinator from our fire company.

Time Flies by Fast and Yesterday Got Away from Me at Lightning Speed

My youngest daughter dropped by unexpectedly yesterday. I am always happy when the girls drop in on us. We had a long overdue chat and an enjoyable Mexican lunch that consisted of the 5-ingredient lazy enchiladas that I whipped up from taquitos, cheese, and enchilada sauce. I garnish them with...

It's 16 Degrees in Pittsburgh with A Predicted Forecast of 56 By Friday

Talk about a confused weather system. The conflicting temperatures in and around Pittsburgh will ultimately lead to flooding and mudslides once the temperatures go up, but Mother Nature is not someone to question. So, while it is freezing outside, this morning I have been cooking up batches of... Sign in to see full entry.

The Snow Today is Relentless

I will spend most of my day ensuring that my walkway stays snow-free and salted so that nobody injures themselves when walking up to the house. John is stuck on a double shift, so the responsibility is left to me. Besides that, I plan to watch cooking shows for most of the day. Later, I will chop up... Sign in to see full entry.

I Am A Happy Camper

Our new hot water heater was just installed. We don't have hot water as of yet, but we will in about two hours. I am feeling very thankful for the prompt, professional, and courteous service. Sign in to see full entry.

Day 2 with No Hot Water, but I'm Old School, So I've Got This

We are still in the freezing zone with a winter weather advisory showing that we can expect another 2-4 inches of snow by tomorrow. Thankfully, we have good heat sources, but no hot water, so I boiled water this morning and added it to the 3 inches of ice water that poured into my bathtub so that I... Sign in to see full entry.
