No Hot Water & It's 16 Degrees with A Wind Chill Advisory...Not a Fun Day

When we bought the house that we have been living in for nearly ten years in July, our hot water heater was still under warranty since it was replaced 6 years ago. For a few different reasons, that hot water heater has given us issues from the pilot light going out to a lack of air flowing to the... Sign in to see full entry.

We Finally Got Snow That is Worthy of Talking About

This is the first time that I have had to shovel snow off of my sidewalk this winter. The birds don't seem to be bothered by the snow, but I got a genuine workout this morning. ❄️⛄❄️ Sign in to see full entry.

It's Freezing, but No Snow, So Later We Are Headed Out for Date Night

It has been a long work week, especially for John, who just finished up an 80-hour week, so we plan to take advantage of the clear roads and catch up today. One of John's and my favorite dates is to take a long country drive and then stop for dinner at our favorite restaurant. The Cracker Barrel is... Sign in to see full entry.

Donation Time Since the Pittsburgh/Buffalo Game Has Been Moved to Tomorrow

Since the Steelers/Bills game has been moved to tomorrow afternoon, I have a bit of free time on my hands today. It has been a long time coming for a good deep cleaning in my home office which is packed full of my favorite books, including a few from my fellow bloggers. I sorted through more than...

A Very Busy Yard This Morning Despite the High Winds

None of these guys appear to care about the high winds. The red-headed woodpecker is pecking away at his suet, and the squirrels are hanging from the bird feeders while the Cardinal watches them empty the buffet. A couple of crows attempted to join the buffet, but the squirrels weren't having it.... Sign in to see full entry.

Revisiting A Few Old Southern Favorites Today

I used to make one form of potatoes or another with just about every meal when the girls were younger. Being of English and Irish descent, they are a natural favorite. Oven-roasted potatoes topped the regular request from both John and the girls, and they preferred them to be served with Southern... Sign in to see full entry.

Sunny, but Cold Outside Today in the Burgh'

This is the perfect day for catching up on a few of my favorite series. I will also be preparing a meal that I will freeze and then serve on Tuesday when my middle daughter and her husband stop in for a visit. They requested that I make stuffed bell peppers with a side of garlic and rosemary mashed... Sign in to see full entry.

Not A Fun Day by Any Means, but It Is Ending Well

I woke up this morning to a computer that was demanding five different updates from security intelligence to cumulative updates for windows. My computer has been dealing with this for most of the morning. I am not a fan of technology, but this is the world that we live in, so I deal with it as it... Sign in to see full entry.

Strong Winds, Rain Predicted to Pour Down All Day, and A Hot Brunch

The temperature outside is predicted to reach 51 degrees today, but you would never know it by the nonstop rain and the strong wind that has been keeping my windmill busy all morning. Today is John's Saturday per his work schedule, so we normally go out and order brunch at one of our many local... Sign in to see full entry.

Heading Out to Purchase an Aesthetically Pleasing Water Feature

I have always loved the sound of water tinkling. Whether it be from a creek, waterfall, or a yard feature...count me in. After watching Hometown on HGTV today, I learned about a rain chain...the downspout alternative. It helps deflect water from your roof and adds an aesthetically pleasing look to...
