I’ve said this before…
Posted by doggonedmysteries
You can keep the Southern heat and humidity down South if you please. I prefer the low humidity and cooler temperatures we should have here. If I wanted this weather, I’d move South…you don’t see me packing do you?
The heat is The Curmudgeon’s enemy. He doesn’t function at all in it. Even his ice vest wouldn’t have helped yesterday. I am glad we have the AC for his sake.
Even the pups are spoiled. When it gets hot here, they want to splay out in front of the AC and only go out when they NEED to go.
You all have a good one and keep cool!

Rain, rain go away my basement is wet again today
Posted by doggonedmysteries
Whew, rain, rain, and more rain yesterday. Poor Patty would hold out until she was about to burst before she’d go outside. Gavin didn’t care, he’s of the when you’ve got to go you’ve got to go school.
At times it would pour and other times we’d have barely a sprinkle but the entire day was wet, wet, wet. I’m so glad The Curmudgeon got the yard mowed before all the rain began.
The gardens and the grass needed a good soaking, the basement however, did not. In the forty years I’ve lived in this house I think we’ve had a completely dry basement for one solid year. More rain predicted for today, lovely, maybe I should get a sump pump…
You all have a good one!

Tornado alley is getting nailed again
Posted by doggonedmysteries
Would everyone please keep Oklahoma and all the other people who are going through more storms in your thoughts and prayers.
I remember as a kid, living in Nebraska, we would have to hit the basements frequently. I’d forgotten what it was like until many years later when I was helping my mother move and we had to hit the basement. It wasn’t long afterwards, when a tornado jumped over the house, I remembered that freight train sound from my childhood.
Candles lit here for all you in Tornado alley.
The rest of you all have a good one!

New look!
Posted by doggonedmysteries
I felt the page needed a change. I hope you enjoy the fresh paint.
Oklahoma needs plenty of good vibes from us all. Light a candle, say a prayer, do whatever you do to send them.
The people there need kindness now. I’m sure there are many clothing drives and other things we can donate to, to help out.
Skip your expensive coffees this week and send what you’d spend to the Red Cross, ear marked for Oklahoma tornado victims. Every little bit helps.
Or you could donate your coffee money to the animal rescues who are trying to reunite victims with their beloved pets.
Be kind, be generous, do for them as you would want done for you in a similar situation. Remember, it could have been you.
You all have a good one.

Another day in paradise
Posted by doggonedmysteries
At least the sun was bright all day. Too bad it barely made it over 50 degrees. Windy again too, like we really need more wind.
I think the pups are pining away for that lovely warm weather we had the other day. The tulips are blooming and the magnolia blossoms are dropping like crazy. The yard is a sea of pink.
I’m hoping we get more seasonal weather this coming week. I sure would like to get out and go fishing, or walking with my friends.
You all have a good one and please send us a bit of warmth.

Woke to this crap again yesterday. Really? Again? Color me grumpy.
You all have a good one and please, think Spring!

More friggin snow
Posted by doggonedmysteries
Oh, for Pete’s sake. As if the snow we had the other day wasn’t enough, Mother Nature decided we needed an even heavier jolt, topped off with sleet, freezing rain, and rain.
We had planned to go out to dinner for my birthday yesterday. However, after leaving an afternoon appointment with The Curmudgeon not feeling all that great, seeing the snow begin to fall, we decided maybe we ought to put it off for a day or two. Good thing we did.
It didn’t take long for the snow to start to come down fast and furious. How happy I was to be safe at home…sort of… I hate cooking and doing dishes on my birthday.
You all have a good one!

Double whammy on its way
Posted by doggonedmysteries
We have 6 to 10 inches of snow predicted with this double whammy storm coming through. As I wrote this line in an E-mail I thought it might make a good opening for today’s post.
I am NOT looking forward to a large amount of snow. The Curmudgeon and the dogs aren’t either. We have had enough. Winter can end any time now.
I’ve blessed my snow shoveler AJ from AJ Wildflowers every time she’s cleared our walks. I am so glad we found her.
I think today calls for plenty of hot coffee, warm snuggly clothes, and 65 lb dogs on laps. The evening should consist of a stick the ribs sort of dinner and a glass of wine before bed.
You all have a good one, stay warm and safe!

No more snow…please?
Posted by doggonedmysteries
So, we had snow again. I can’t tell you how tired of grey skies I am. Yesterday, no sun and snow off and on all day. Looks like we’ll have this fine snow all night–I’m typing this in the wee hours of the a.m.
The forecast for Wednesday and Thursday says sun, that will be nice! I’ve missed the sun. Even so, having sun doesn’t mean warm. The predicted temperatures for both days are 37 and 34 degrees Fahrenheit respectively. I’d rather have 30 to 40 degrees more.
Yes, I am looking forward to Spring. I usually am by this time of year because I am not a fan of snow, ice, and cold.
You all have a good one!

Yikes! I hate wind.
Posted by doggonedmysteries
With the expectation of high winds of 60 mph I might not be posting tomorrow. It all depends on if we have damage here or not.
There is also the possibility of trees coming down with the ground so danged wet. We’ve had the weirdest weather the last couple of years.
You all have a good one and stay safe.

Snow…okay…but sleet and ice?
Posted by doggonedmysteries
I can tolerate snow as long as it doesn’t get into ‘feet of’ depths… Or would that be heights? Snow is navigable. Ice, however, is not. We have ice. Lots and lots of it. My car is coated with it.
I am supposed to take Gavin to the vet’s early this morning. I may call them and ask to postpone it. I really don’t want to drive on icy roads in my new car. Heck, the way it looks at the moment, I’ll be lucky to make it out of the driveway.
Keep your fingers crossed that the roads improve by 8 a.m.
You all have a good one!
