Blustery day!
Posted by doggonedmysteries
Winnie the Pooh: Happy “Winds-day”, Piglet.
Piglet: [being blown away] Well… it isn’t… very happy… f-for me.
Winnie the Pooh: Where are you going, Piglet?
Piglet: That’s what I’m asking myself, where?
[he is lifted into the air by a gust of wind] Piglet: W-Whoops! P-P-P-Pooh!
Winnie the Pooh: [grabbing Piglet’s scarf] And what do you think you will answer yourself?
It seemed like that sort of day here yesterday although it was Monday and not Windsday.
Even though the wind blew like crazy the broken branch in the Tulip Poplar is still stuck way up in the tree. I don’t do tall ladders so it may stay there until it rots away.
You all have a good one!

Love this time of year
Posted by doggonedmysteries
Definitely the strangest weather ever this year. We hit 70+ degrees yesterday, below freezing the night before, and they are predicting snow for Saturday. We’ve also had plenty of wind.
The magnolia tree is now stripped of most of its flowers and the leaves are started.
Both the tulip poplar and Sweet gum are pushing out leaves now too. Tulips are blooming, as are the bleeding hearts now. The lilac bush is all green and starting to bud.
The grass is growing so fast The Curmudgeon will have a time getting it mowed. Thank heavens for riding mowers.
You all have a good one!

Unbelievable weather and more energy, can’t be beat!
Posted by doggonedmysteries
I can’t believe how incredible the weather has been the last several days. Never have we had such a warm March. I’m loving it.
Along with the weather came the chance for more exercise–going for walks and I have taken full advantage of it. What I find remarkable is I am starting to have more energy again. (It’s about friggin’ time!)
Yesterday, and the day before, after my walks, I got out a bucket of scrub water, climbed up and down a ladder several times and the ceiling fans in my living room are now sparkling clean. I am amazed at how filthy they were. That’s what I call having more energy.
I might even tackle the fan in the bedroom next. Then there are all those floors that are in need of a good scrub…
You all have a good one!

So they say we’ll be getting snow…
Posted by doggonedmysteries
Sometime in the wee hours of this morning we’re to get a snowstorm. I am not looking forward to it. The one we had in October was plenty enough for me. At least I have my winter boots by the back door so when the dogs need to go out I can switch from my flip-flops to my boots.
I had rather enjoyed the strange weather that was (so far) this winter. Weeks of fifty degree days kept me from complaining. Look out, because when the snow hits, it’s going to be bitch, bitch, bitch! Hehehe.
I won’t say how the dogs will react since they always make a liar out of me when I do try to predict their behavior.
Hey, all of you who aren’t getting this weather, enjoy what you’ve got. For those of you who are getting the snow, stay warm and drink some cocoa for me. You all have a good one! I’ll catch you later.

Winter weather again
Posted by doggonedmysteries
We actually got a little winter weather last night. Sometime around 8 p.m. it began to sleet. Now my yard has an icy coating that the dogs aren’t too fond of walking in. Truth be told neither am I.
At least it wasn’t snow and I have no plans to go anywhere today. I went shopping yesterday which made the dogs happy since they were almost out of food.
Fortunately, the temperature is supposed to hit around 42 degrees today so that icy coating should disappear.
Hope you all have a very nice day.

The after storm clean up begins
Posted by doggonedmysteries
We had sun yesterday and the snow began to melt away. I managed to pile all but one tree limb in the yard in preperation to cutting them into small, manageable sizes.
I will have to drag the long tree limb saw out of the shed and see if I can reach and drag down the remaining broken magnolia branch today. Then I can begin to cut up all of them and see if I can get them out for disposal before the city stops picking up yard waste.

Sunshine, the happy vitamin
Posted by doggonedmysteries
It’s amazing what a spending a few days outside in the sun can do to lift the spirits. Of course, my being outside means I was working in the gardens, which is also quite therapeutic for me.
I may have some sore muscles but I am certainly in a happier mood than I have been for a while. All the gray skies and rain we had made for a miserable me.
When Mom is happy the pups and DH are happy…

Lovely weather!
Posted by doggonedmysteries
We’ve had a couple of gorgeous days. This is such a lovely change from all the rain.
Yesterday I decided to take advantage of the weather and get some sun. I took the dogs out to play several times. They were happy about that.
They haven’t forgotten how to jump through the Hula hoops. This is the first time in quite a while we had that sort of fun.
I even got in some weeding.
Unfortunately the ground is still saturated, it’s going to take at least a week or two to dry it out to a point where the rain won’t just run right off.

A leap from summer to fall
Posted by doggonedmysteries
Yesterday the day began warm and humid but after a storm passed through, the temperatures took a quick dive. We went from summer to fall in a matter of minutes.
Our spring was very wet. We had a miserable summer with high temperatures beginning early and staying for what felt like forever.
Now we’re back to wet weather. We didn’t get to enjoy much outdoor time this season. Last night the temperatures dropped to the mid forties. We went from shorts weather to needing a jacket in one day.
Even the dogs don’t know what to make of it. They like that it’s cooler but I know neither one likes snow so they have to be thinking about that…don’t they?

Too much rain
Posted by doggonedmysteries
The back sidewalk is covered with mud and is so slippery that I feel as though I need cleats on my shoes to walk there.
Patty doesn’t want to go out unless her back teeth are running boat races. She thinks she’ll melt in the rain. Maybe she needs water wings.
Gavin doesn’t mind the rain too much, although twice today it came down hard enough that even he refused to go outside.
I’m thinking of putting pontoons on my van. Should I go with white to match it or some sort of accent color?
I’m putting a flat bottom boat or a canoe on my Amazon wish list.
