Outside My Window ~ 6.9.2013

Outside my window…is a typical summer morning in Southeast Virginia.  I know it isn’t officially summer yet ~ but it certainly feels like it outside this past weekend.  Right now, at around 10:00 this morning, we are at 79°F with a 71% humidity so it feels like 81°F.  Skies are partly cloudy but I like [...]

Outside My Window ~ 5.19.2013

Outside my window…is a rather dreary Sunday afternoon.  There is full cloud cover with the sun making a feeble attempt to show itself.  I say feeble because I believe it could come out and shine if it really wanted to.  I’m not sure what location The Weather Channel dude is reporting from but they are saying mostly [...]

Outside My Window ~ 5.12.2013

Outside my window…is the closing hours of Mother’s Day 2013.  What began as a rainy morning turned into an amazing day with sunshine, blue skies and fabulous temperatures. Our high today was 75°F and a forecast low tonight of 50°F…beautiful!  Unfortunately I didn’t get anything finished in the flower bed as I had planned today….the ground was [...]

Outside My Window ~ 4.21.2013

 Outside my window…is the end of another weekend.  At around 11:00 this evening we are at 47°F with clear skies.  The weather channel says it feels like 43°F and I’m wondering if I should be worried about the house plants I took outside a couple of weeks ago.  I guess it is too late to [...]
