Baby it's cold outside

Wow, If I remember correctly Meece, you don't get much rain so that's a good thing - right?  Hope it's at least warm in California. 

We're supposed to have sun and be in the mid 60s today.  This weather deal is driving me crazy - beautiful during my work week and crappy on the weekends.  It's supposed to be in the mid 50s with rain during the Susan Komen walk in Sunday.   Hope the forcast changes!

My 3 month Onc check up is today, I'm sure she'll find nothing since my mammo, breast biopsy and colon are all taken care of and clear and I'm actually not having issues with the Femara - YET (praise God)!  Yippee.

We were surprised with some light rain last night. It started about 7 and rained off and on until 10 or so. Not hardly enough to stop the dry conditions in the mtns. Calling for rain and possible thunder storms all weekend long. This weekend, our Carolina Conference church ladies have the annual 'Women's retreat' in Blowing Rock, about 30 minutes from my house. Looks like it will be wet for the weekend.

Got up to 60 today, now it's cloudy with rain squalls, possible scattered thunderstorms tonight.  But it was nice enough long enough for me to sit out on the back deck with a book for a while after work this afternoon! 

Rained some yesterday and last night.  Central Florida on down to the keys rely on rain for the aquifers.  When we moved to Tampa 8 years ago, we were in a drought and up until this year, we have been desperate for rain.  The resevoirs were almost dry last year.  Well I'm happy to say they are overflowing now.  Our "lake" out back has dried up on and off over the years.  It is full now and so beautiful.  Looks like more rain over the weekend. I also like rain to keep my pool full.  When it gets hot, it will evaporate lots.  I hate using water to fill it up, would rather use the rain.  It was in the 80's today and very beautiful.  Had a nice swim with the dog this afternoon.

suzwes--Good for your kitty! 

Had some good hard rain here today. Chilly rain.  I know April flowers bring May flowers, but that doesn't make me any happier with it.  I'm getting tired of smelling wet dog and seeing muddy paw prints on the kitchen floor.  

Aarrgghh, don't mind me today, I've been over-reacting to everything and now apparantly I'm getting cranky to boot.  I'm going to go take another chill pill.  

Hi ladies,

Rain, rain and more rain.  Supposed to rain during the Komen 5k race tomorrow but as long as it's not storming onward ho.

I was on the local news last night regarding the race and my team, don't know if the entire message got through but if you want to listen to the report you can go to

A very good morning from the Nation's capitol!  I have been away since Easter and had quite a bit of reading to do in order to catch up here!!

The weather has been pretty nice here although in the last few days we are getting darker skies, lower tempertures and rain.  All my life I have heard "if you don't like the weather in Washington, wait 5 minutes.'  So true, so true.

Last weekend my brother and sister did a bunch of yardwork so our yard looks beautiful.  My sister got a bunch of flowers for the front porch and some herbs.  That said, we have two beautiful orange daylilies on either side of the columns of the front porch, some other flowers *purple and white and close to the ground," Two hanging baskets of flowers, a humongous pink hydrangea bush (10 huge flowers on one plant) which will have to be re-planted in the yard, a slew of herbs - oregano, basil (3 different kinds), mint, rosemary and tomatoes (contained in pots).

The missionaries from my Church keep asking for service projects so I have found one they can do (planting the hydrangea in the yard)!  Next year I think two lilac trees are in order!

Isn't spring wonderful - it is so lush and green here.

Still to chilly at night to plant a garden.But beautiful spring weather here in Toronto.I took these pictures last weekend in Niagra falls ont.

I agree NM, I'm tired of this.  Last summer ws cold too although I didn't care cause I had chemo all summer.  I want warmth.  But, it should be coming for those on the east coast, we got up to 70 today after 59 yesterday.  Tomorrow and Saturday it's supposed to be 80. I walked about 3/4 mile to see my advisor today (since they changed my grad program on me I actually had to see the assistant Dean) and then walked back to my office.  It was about 50 degrees and it wasn't too bad, the sun was warming everything up. 

Oh my Meece - is this typical for your county at this time of year?

Well, this turned into quite the exciting afternoon!  As I was leaving work I drove through an horrendous downpour, complete with wind gusts that drove the wind sideways!  Got off the interstate at my exit, had to backtrack because the road was blocked by a tree down on a live wire and the fire department wasn't letting anyone through.  Drove through the village center, stopped to pick up a pizza, heard about another road blocked by a downed tree, and an outhouse getting knocked over by the wind.  A quarter mile from my house I drove past a 6 inch diameter tree that was uprooted and is now lying on top of some poor soul's brand new storage shed!  The weather guessers are saying that we can expect some pretty good thunderstorms over the next few days as a series of fronts moves through.  Ought to be interesting!

Wow, NM what a ride! Hope all goes well for you over the next few days.  It is HOT here in Florida reaching the mid 90's today.  Hoping for some rain later in the week.
