Spring - to be hoped for SOONEST!
While I don't actually mind snow, I have reached the point where it has worn out its welcome for this Winter. I'm running short on Sunshine doses and hoard them when they occur ( Read more... ) -

I haven't posted in a good while now. I suppose I really don't have a good reason other than life has been fairly mellow and I've been relatively busy ( Read more... ) -
The New Year - 2013
Ah, another fine year to entertain us. Mine has started out like a fine old touring car...slowly excelerating to a pace that allows one to indulge in watching the scenery go by. Then sometimes it hiccups ( Read more... ) -
Weather - or not.
I believe I have mentioned in the past that the phrase "Winds of Change" is quite accurate weather-wise. Whenever it gets particularly windy in this area it heralds a change in the weather. However, in the past few months it seems more likely that it's just the period at the end of the current weather-sentence ( Read more... ) -
And then there was industry!
Tis the Holiday season and my first one alone in a very long time, except, I won't be alone! My friends are taking me in this Holiday and that's a very nice feeling. Himself never cared for Christmas but he usually humored me. No more Himself. :-( BUMMER ( Read more... ) -

Let's see, so far this week we've had one seriously awesome fog that lasted all day, one bright balmy day, one gray, chilly day and today - cold, chill, gray and RAIN... since around 3:00 PM. The rain has continued off and on for the rest of the day and is, I believe, supposed to continue through the night. Naturally, I was out in it twice. I ( Read more... ) -
Hmmmm.... just everyday stuff
So far we've had a fairly mild series of weather since Sandy struck. I am NOT complaining. A mild weather pattern is just fine with me for the inter, although I do want one week where we have very cold nights - maybe 3 in a row. That will minimize the bug population for next year. I don't want them all to go away - Mother nature needs her little ( Read more... ) -
Why?
This has been a week of sad occurrences. So I have to ask WHY ( Read more... ) -
Mulling sans the wine.....
This week has been sort of 'down' and I've been looking back at the year and its changes. I still seem to be in a sort of semi-limbo over pretty much everything. As I've mentioned before I'm between 'doors' - having had one close but not finding the next one opening up yet. I suspect this is actually somewhat normal after a major loss. Your ( Read more... ) -
Observations and general nonsense.
Today is cold, windy, heavy overcast and dreary. A very BLEAHHH day. Even the cats aren't really interested in going out - with the exception of Tiny, Chocolate and Moppet. They seem to be impervious to most weather and insist on going out for at least some amount of time. I've noticed several of our woolly-worms have actually gotten into the ( Read more... )
