It is currently 43 here right now (~10AM) and we have a vicious wind coming out of the north. We are forecasted to hit as low as 15 tonight. I lived in Florida for ten + years, and I don't recall it getting that cold here before. I have gotten calls and emails from friends "up north" reminding me to... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning. As of today, the days here in the northern hemisphere begin to get longer as the Earth makes the big turn and heads back around the sun. Of course, we have a few months of cold to "weather" before it gets much lighter, but we'll be alright. It's supposed to be 65-68 here today, and if... Sign in to see full entry.

For those of you who will be traveling this weekend, our prayers are with you for your safe passage to and from your journies. We had the opportunity to go north, but between the storms in the Michigan area and a late decision to do something, we will spend our Christmas at home and together. I... Sign in to see full entry.

Pictures, Pictures, Pictures!
Beyond our immediate families, these are the first photos of our new place... one year after we moved in. It's still far from finished, but it is a massive improvement over what we had when we started. It took some time and studying, but we brought this 40' dead tree down exactly where we want it to...

As I hoped and suspected might happen, the dreadful cold spell that was scheduled to arrive here today is going to be late. I've been watching the storm that was going to deliver the "monumental snow storm" (as the media was calling it) has slowed and lessened. It will be cooler here, but not nearly...

What a day! We weren't going to work outside today, but it became warm enough to give it a try, and "Howdy, Bob!" we got a lot of stuff done. The Great Depression house that had been hidden in the tangly brush is almost gone now. We had intended to clean it up and restore it, but the last brush with... Sign in to see full entry.
A Brief Reminder
I hate to complain about the weather that is coming our way when I take a look at what is going to happen to all points north of us are going to experience. I read an article that used the headline, "Catastrophic Winter Storm About To Sweep The Nation." I used to write headlines, and would... Sign in to see full entry.

If you want the download file for the PWA app on your computer, let me know. I can upload it to Dropbox and give you access to it. FYI... I know Annie has PWA subscription (ProWritingAid) and we were talking about this the other day on the phone. If any of you have a subscription, give me a holler.... Sign in to see full entry.
I had another routine blood draw this morning that needed to be done after "fasting" for twelve hours, so we went down to the hospital at six this morning and found a bit of frost on the windshield of the car. Bbbbbbbbbbrrrrrrrrrrrrr! It didn't take long to get the blood taken and we were out the... Sign in to see full entry.
