Let it snow, let it snow, let it, oh-for-Pete’s sake, SNOW
I guess with a heading like that, you don't need a weather report. (As if you did in the first place.) The stuff is actually very beautiful, and I'll post a picture later today.I loved your responses to the Valentine question--Margaret, I DO remember...
Today’s Snow Report
The white stuff is coming down pretty hard at the moment, though the flakes are tiny and it looks as though we've got less than an inch. Hope those won't turn out to be Famous Last Words. ๐ Today is my sister Pam's birthday--happy birthday,...
Chatter
Well, we've been lucky with the weather so far this winter, but it seems all our chickens are coming home to roost, beginning with light snow tonight and semi-blizzard levels tomorrow and the day after. As long as the power stays on, my computer will work...
Friday’s Topic

Friday the 13th
I'm not superstitious--well, not very--but I do tend to watch my p's and q's on Friday the 13th. ๐ I'm also not wild about walking under ladders--that's probably just common sense--but I don't throw salt over my shoulder when I spill it or anything like...
Sunny Skies in January
This is the Eastern Washington weather I remember from my childhood--it's very cold out, but the sun is shining and the sky is sugar-bowl blue. As Bernicie and I walked around the pasture this morning, I felt my heart just swell with gratitude. That's my...

Leaner But Not Meaner

Writing and Rambling
I'm writing today, and I'll like be at it for the next several hours, but I wanted to stop by the blog to let you know I'm thinking about you and to wish you a wonderful New Year.2012. I can hardly believe it. I'm still setting goals--looking for ways to...
New Year’s Eve
I have largely recovered from Christmas and its before-and-aftermaths. ๐ As my old daddy used to say, I've had about as much fun as I can stand.Every guest room was full, and the kitchen was Grand Central Station, in micro. I ate and I drank--there...
