Oh my how the wind is blowing and will be in the 20"s tonight and after all the lovely weather we've been having -come on Spring, hurry up. I'm making vegetarian bean soup and garlic and onion aroma -kinda heavy!!

Tomatos made it OK through the night and only 1 looks kinda peuncy. I will cover them this eve due to the cold and high winds. It's good I bought 2 row covers and I'll use them both.

Moira (kitty) is curled up in a pizza pan on the front porch in the sun -how bout cat-hair pizza anyone.

The days will start getting longer -how wonderful

On to sudoku and mastermind online -fun games

happy thursday all

Temp was 38 overnight and it's 70 (yes it is) now. Amazing. This is a temp taken in the SHADE. I sense bad things coming (earthquake conditions). Very cold then warms up quickly and bingo. Hope I am wrong.

Sidewalks in progress. They are actually pouring cement today. Wow.

Ambulance and firetruck last night at the 'compound' 2 doors down. Not at the apartments. That was the police TWICE in the same day. Geez. We sure have a lot of 'public services' around us. Always something fun to watch.

HUGE hawk was circling this morning. Must have had a wingspan of 5 feet. Amazingly huge. I checked out the outdoorsies because one of the 'oldies' is pure white and only weighs about 5 lbs soaking wet. Tiny thing her whole life. She's ok but I'll be on guard all day. That was one big hawk!

Off to hawk watch!

Hi everyone Snow is on its way

Howdy folks.

Oh what a night, Oh what a day......weather-wise.

No sooner than I posted the diner last night, a storm hit, and I mean thunder, lightening, and driving rain, and some hail. I lost internet, TV and thankfully not my electricity.

I think we got a couple of inches of rain. It sounded like the house would blow away all night.

Then we had the wind all day long and I mean all day, plus it was pretty darn cold.

Despite that, I got off at 1:00, came home and loaded Pepper, went to Mom's, took Baby walking around hill and dell, like we were in the cast of the Sound of Music.

All in all I'd say it was a pretty good day.

How was your's?

Trippy I have not seen the Hobbit. Have you?

joe

Hi All.. Wow Joe, I'm really sorry about that awful weather. I didn't mean to send it your way, honest!!! Sounds exactly like what we had all last night, I finally crawled into bed around one thirty this morning...it was still gusting but not so much and then it rained steadily all night and into the morning...we got three inches and are flooded again...we are okay where the house is though. Now it is trying to snow. Merry Christmas and HoHoHo!!!

Merry Christmas Lotus.

Feel free to send any rain this way, or snow for that matter.

joe

Joe I'm sure some of those people a little farther south of me would gladly send you their snow. It has been snowing there all day and making it hard to travel. None here though.

Lotus be safe in those storms!!!

Well I think I shall call it a day! Night all sleep well and pleasant dreams!!

Ana is it snowing yet?????


Nan

It is snowing but it's 31 degrees so it is only leaving a white slush. Sweet dreams!

Well, it finally turned cold here. Dashed from the theater to the car after watching Skyfall. Good movie!

Off to bed now. Must rest as we begin 2 weeks with the boys.
