Snow Connections
My friends in the Northeast have been hit with one snowstorm after another. As they prepared for their current storm, I have been keeping up with what is happening via social media. Several people were outside playing before it got dark. There were conversations about going to the grocery and not being able to find […]
Missed the Wind
The weather forecast for today was unusually warm with strong winds. I went out and about this morning and when I returned home, the sun was shining warm and the wind was only a breeze. My mom had sat outside for a while, but had not taken a walk. We try to get out every […]
Plowed Driveway
We headed up to the cabin in the mountains today. It was the warmest day we will have for a while and it was absolutely gorgeous. The snow covered mountains and the crystal blue sky was such a beautiful sight. Since we had quite a frigid spell and snow, we didn’t know what to expect […]
Can Still Teach
My dad spent 25 years in the Air Force working as a meteorologist. After he retired, he spent 20 years teaching physics at a local college. He also wanted to teach about space, but did not find a suitable college text book. So he wrote one. He has taken groups of people to observatories and […]
A Warm Day
Today was a beautiful day in the mountains. It was finally warm and mild enough weather to spend quite a bit of time outdoors. I sat and soaked up some sun. I went for a couple walks. At one point it was so quiet that I could hear the wings flapping of a large bird […]
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
I used to enjoy playing in my garden – gardens actually. I had several spots around my house that would require tending. 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 […]
