A bit of Lucy snow news

By

Our area got a few small snows. Thankfully they didn’t amount to much.
Lucy enjoyed running out on the porch for a few minutes and then running back in for a few minutes to warm up, then back outside and so on.
She didn’t keep her boots on for long. They slide off her feet. She made it just fine playing in the snow without them.

My hat I made came in handy. It’s been so bitter cold here.
Thankfully, hopefully, I won’t need it as much for a while. It’s forecast for temperatures to warm up to might-near tolerable over the next several days.

Here’s wishing you all a great rest of the week.

 

 

Bit of Snow for Christmas

By

Here in my neck-of-the-woods, we got a bit of snow the 23rd of December. The -20° wind chill was the worst part though.
The wind flipped over my 4 deceased mums that I had left on the porch. I plan on tossing them away sometime.
The wind has calmed down. The snow is still laying around, but thankfully the roads are clear.
I know it’s not much snow, but for me it was good to have a manageable bit of snow on Christmas day. Snow always seems to add an extra bit of that ol’ holiday magic. ☃️
The temperature stayed in the single digits, until Christmas day, then it warmed up to 25°F.
Rumor has it, the weather forecasters predict, that it’s going to warm up to the mid 50’s by next weekend… We are hoping for it to be so.

My heart goes out to all the folks in the regions who are in freezing and/or blizzard conditions. I hope you all are bundled up and hunkered down and make it through this horrible weather safely.
I send you all my warmest thoughts for a heat wave to thaw out your regions and life gets back to normal soon.
I pray the worst of snows and freezing cold is over with for this winter. 🙏
Stay warm and safe. ❤️

12-30-2020 – The Last Full Moon of 2020

By

I think a full moon is the proper way to end 2020. I’m not sure how others feel about a full moon, but I’m holding hope that it’s lighting the way into 2021 for better days to come.
I felt that I needed to try to get a photo of the big beauty. I stepped outside and discovered that it was cloudy. I frowned as I thought I wouldn’t be able to get a clear photo of it. Thankfully, there came a nice break in the clouds and I managed to get a fairly decent photo.

I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday filled with happy thoughts.

This full moon is called the ‘Cold Moon’; a Mohawk name due to the cold conditions of this time of year.
It’s also been called the ‘Long Night Moon’; a Mohican name for it because of its rising on one of the longest nights of the year.

By

It’s Dogwood winter in our region. The dogwood trees are blooming lovely. The weather is cold, rainy and messy, but at least it’s heading towards warmer clear days.

Here’s wishing you all a sunshine filled weekend!
