Windy Weather
I was awake unexpectedly early this morning and thought about going out to see if I could find any meteors from the shower that is happening right now. But then I heard the wind. I don’t like the wind at all. But I do like the sound of the trees blowing. So, I laid there […]
Safe From Snowstorm
We had quite the snow storm today. The wind was blowing so hard there were white out conditions. On several occasions, I could not see the houses across the street. I watched as one white car carefully made a turn onto a side street and immediately disappeared. I was particularly worried about my sister. She […]
Quiet Snowy Day
I got up this morning and just like a kid ran to the window to see the result of the snowstorm that came through. As I suspected, the world was covered in a blanket of white. It snowed on and off the whole day. My mom cancelled her therapy appointment, so there were no worries […]
Off to a New Adventure
It has always been my brother’s dream to tour the United States after he retired. This summer he bought a camping trailer and it was his intention to head South for the winter. I was so happy that he stuck around here for a few months. He stayed with my parents often, which allowed me to […]
Potting Plants

There was a vegetable garden, a couple of flower beds, flower boxes at the base of the windows, and hanging baskets of flowers besides. I don’t really have a green thumb, but love […]
Happy Children
Today the schools were closed due to a snow storm that we had. As the day progressed, the snow stopped falling and the sun came out. So did the kids. First I saw several of them helping to shovel their driveways. There were many children sledding down the hill at the school not too far […]
Prayer For Boston
I have several friends on the east coast and just cannot believe all the snow they have been getting. The news coverage of Boston is amazing. I wonder what the mood is like there in the city and how people are holding up. Tonight I read an awesome prayer for Boston by Fr. James Martin […]
Order on Earth
Some of my family live in another part of the country from me. Their weather always seems to be the opposite of what is going on where I live. My parents and I were talking about it today. My dad was a meteorologist in the Air Force for many years and described how there are jet streams […]
