Aww. I snapped this photo the other day. It’s been a chilly week, as evidenced by the heater, blanket, and cuddly kitty. I hadn’t turned the heat on at all upstairs, and was surprised to see the thermometer read 49 degrees in one of the rooms! Weird thing is, the weather dudes are predicting we [...]

Gardening Update

I have been as negligent of my gardens this year as I have been about blogging about them. Thank God, plants require very little care and attention. Unfortunately, the weeds also thrive on negligence. :-p But it looks like my vegetables are holding their own. The snow peas are on the brink of harvesting (I [...]

*grooooooaaaaan* It’s snowing. It’s snowing hard. Big, sticky, wet flakes that drench everything. *sigh* Oh well, better than ice, I guess. Yesterday my garden looked like this… Today it looks like this! That’s Upstate New York for you. But darn it, I already packed the shovels and snow tires away, in preparation for the renovation.

I Guess It’s Our Turn

I was shocked to hear of a huge storm coming tomorrow. I guess I have been too busy to listen to the news and weather much. WHOA! It’s been a while. Now THIS is a storm– we’re expected to get clobbered with a foot or two of snow. It may disrupt things for half a [...]

Cabin Fever Big Time

*****sighhhhh**** Pardon me as I recollect… Can’t you just smell them? I wonder how my new bed in my Secret Garden will turn out this year. I’m so desperate I don’t even care about how ugly that sump pump pipe looks. Ah, to see green again…. It’s been so gloomy this winter. I haven’t had [...]

Frosty the Grease Monkey

Brrrr. Got up at 6am to help the husband fix the car brakes. FUN. It was, what, 25 degrees outside!! He’s a part-time rural carrier for the post office, and rural carriers use their own vehicles to deliver mail. I wonder if people have any idea the work that goes into such a job, especially [...]

How a Hurricane is Born

The United States is in the midst of another hurricane season. New York State was completely drenched by Hurricane Bill (THREE inches of rain in two hours!) and my yard looked like a lake again…. I can’t complain, really- other areas suffered flash flooding and there were multiple car accidents from it. And my area [...]

Find the Kitty #8

My Tabby-Point Siamese, Livvy, has been working overtime with the game she plays with us: Find the Kitty. Maybe it’s the heat? It’s been very humid this week (with no relief in the near future for us). :-p Who needs weight loss pills when you drop 10 pounds, sweating buckets?! Gah! Well, whatever the reason, [...]

Are the Politicians On Vacation, Or Something?!

Here we are, one week from Memorial Day, and it is FREEZING this week. We’ve had a handful of frost warnings (and frosty nights)… at a time when my furnace is put to sleep for the season, it’s still chugging away. So where’s all this hot air that we usually experience a week before the [...]
