HAPPY NEW WEEK!I hope everyone has a peaceful, easy week.
Well, folks, winter made a hard landing on the Midwest today. On Wednesday, the temperature on my patch was 70 degrees F (that's 21 C) with sunshine and a breathtaking sapphire blue sky. The forecasters warned us that it would turn cold Saturday (today) with a light "dusting" of snow. I slept in this morning, and when I woke up, 4 inches of drifting snow covered the ground in a gale-force wind! The Northern Cardinal pair has been coming to my porch to eat the late-season wasps, and the red male landed on the window sill and looked at me with such a confused expression! LOL I was lucky. The winter storm hit further north with such ferocity that the interstate highways had to be closed!Hello to all!
Stormy night and still quite windy this morn. Many people have been affected by power outages and 50 school closed due to damage. Friend sent brief massage that her outage not expected to be fixed until Tuesday! We are safe. This storm will increase the flooding in eastern states.
RUSTY – Good morning from DownUnder. Sounds like a great time was had by you & friends.
Good Morning. Tuesday already! We are back home, after a good journey back yesterday. It began raining as we packed the car to leave, so we were very grateful that we'd had a few days in the warm and without rain. When we went out for our pub lunch, we didn't even wear coats!
OG - Yes, we had 3 courses even though I swore I would not do it again. Their Sunday menu includes 3 courses, and we went there saying we would only order two of them, but my OH was salivating over the chance to have crumble & custard, one of his favourites! So I gave in. Of course, I later regretted it as I was too full to move in the afternoon.... Great news that J has been offered a job which is so convenient. I hope it all works out for him as hoped. Diane, Good to hear from you - keep warm!
