My Snowy Weekend Wasn’t So Bad
I’m in the process of multitasking between my writing orders, writing out this post and interacting on here, so please bear with me lol. I think you all know by now that I live on the East Coast, so we were a bit snowed in this weekend, under about
And The Snow Begins....
Hey there, everyone. I may have mentioned in one of my earlier posts that we're expecting a blizzard here on the East Coast. Welp, the snow started falling earlier this afternoon. The snow is laying, and it does look pretty outside. Now, this isn't even t
Mostly Useless Stuff I Learned Today While Avoiding Cabin Fever
It snowed this morning in this part of the United States, so, like many, I find myself wasting time at home today. But regardless of circumstances, every day is an opportunity to learn something new. It doesn't have to be anything useful, and i
Well that was an interesting drive to work!
As you can see, it snowed last night. A lot more snow than predicted. I had to drive to work in that #snow. I hate driving in snow. Actually I don't mind it, it is that I have gotten seriously spoiled with hubby driving me to work everyday. The older I ge
Weird September 2015 Holidays
I had this filed under 'Humor' but then I don't want people laughing AT me but rather laughing with me so I just categorized it under 'Random'. My feeble attempt at being a comedian doesn't deliver laughs but rather awkward silences. LOL! Anyway, already
Tracing My Footsteps
Born and raised in Miami, Florida. What was the most memorable thing about this city? The weather! Very seldom – exclude the hurricanes – was there ever really bad weather. As a little child, actually thought that Sunday was called Sunday becau
Writing Prompt: Outside The Window
I didn’t feel like posting yesterday, and I’m late on things today...but I’m here now, so I think I’ll get right down to this writing prompt I found. It states “Outside the Window: What’s the weather outside your window
30-Day Song Challenge - Day 6 - A Song That Reminds You of Somewhere - "Slip Slidin' Away"
Paul Simon's "Slip Slidin' Away" reminds me of #Detroit. More specifically, it reminds me of an #expressway in Detroit. My dad's branch of the family tree is based primarily in the Detroit area. For reasons that are unknown to me, most of my child
You Can't Keep a Good Crocus Down
Here in the South, when the tiny little crocus blooms first poke their heads up out of the ground some time in February, it can only mean one thing. It's time to snow. There's Indian summer, and blackberry winter. February is crocus winter. There may
Our Snow
We had three rounds of snow this month but only the last produced much snow that stuck. We ended up with around 7 inches from the last round that came through. I didn't get a lot of photos, but I did get a few I thought I'd share with y'all. The first I t
Picky! Picky! Picky!
I have my own method for removing snow from the driveway and sidewalks. We do have snow blower, but I do not have enough upper-arm strength to pull that darn cord! I can handle a snow shovel pretty well, but that takes too long. I u
At last a little more snow!
I realize that compared to those living in parts of Canada and the Northeast of the U.S. my complaints of a lack of enough snow may seem absurd. But for me, having lived in Minnesota for the past 8 years, lots of snow in the winter is one of the perks as f
Diary – Wednesday 28th January 2015
Dull as the proverbial dishwater up to the evening when I went on a Northern Quarter of Manchester city centre bar crawl, despite wind, hail, rain, and later, snow. I caught a bus to the first sanctuary from the elements, The Angel Inn, in Collyhu
Shoveling Snow
That was what I had to do on Tuesday morning. It was still snowing as I started shoveling the from to f the house. The worst part was the stairs. I had to go to the second floor, open the door and start pushing the snow down. I got all the stairs done, my
Snowstorm: January 2015
The past five days have been very interesting, although somewhat disappointing. My wife and i wanted to get together with the family, but the icy conditions outside caused us to cancel. My brother lives up near Waterbury and the trip back home woul
To people in US Northeast: I hope you stay safe
All day today, I have been hearing reports of the ‘historic’ #blizzard which has hit north eastern part of US. There is forecast of almost 3 feet of #snow with strong #hurricane force winds which are threatening to paralyze the cities acro
Yesterday, I visited two countries within an hour
You might think this is impossible but it is true. Last night, I visited two #countries in a span of less than 60 minutes and had a grand time with my two hosts &Koalemos and &Porcospino. While reading their posts I realized someth
Let It Snow
It aint half blowing a gale outside . The garden fence is noisily rocking in the posts , and there's a few clangs and bangs going on . I'm glad to be warm and cosy indoors with the heating on and my scented candles flickering on the mantlepiece . I'm half
Yes it is Friday!
Good day/evening my friends. How is everyone? Now that I am a bit more familiar with the site, I am making new friends and reading awesome stuff. So I am very happy! This morning it was ten degrees F (about minus twelve c,)! I have a couple of roommates an
No furnace! I'm freezing my butt off!
It's in the single digits here as far as temperature and...our furnace decided now would be a good time to die. We are getting by with just a couple of space heaters and the stove for heat. We called everywhere and they are backed up and can't get t
Picture of an Ice Bird
This picture was taken several years ago by my daughter, I do have her permission to share it. We were walking along the shores of a lake near our house in the winter and she noticed this chunk of ice which almost looked like a penguin, so she took a pict
