Christmas Countdown - 2016

[Crown 84]

Bon Matin, mes Amis.

Straight to today's figures with no delay:
Days to the Season: 222
Days to Christmas Day: 264

And just as quickly, we note that our next pair of Milestones loom ahead closer than you might think.
The one-third Christmas Day mark is a scant 3 weeks from today and the 200-day Season Window lies just a day beyond that.
(My! My!)


Nice and nearly summer-like here yesterday, but cooler air moved in overnight and we stand just under 49 degrees here at this hour.
It should be clear and sunny today but not much warmer, and tonight -- down to the freezing mark.
BRRRR!


Have a Totally Terrific Tuesday, Everybody!

I would be enjoying the snow..but presently sick with stomach,aching joints..etc No energy to even move off the couch to bed.

Hope you start to feel better today!

Good morning!
Happy Tuesday!
I was just outside with Maggie, it's chilly out there this morning. We have temperatures in the 20's and will have highs near 40 today. I'm just having my coffee, waiting for everyone to start waking up. I'm going to take a ride to the supermarket to pick up a few things after I finish cooking breakfast. I also have to bring my daughter to the mechanic later this morning to pick up her car. And my mother is coming over to visit later this afternoon. That's about it for me. Hope everyone is well and has a nice day!

Have a good day HMG!! It is cold here too! Enjoy the visit with your mom!

Good Tuesday Morning MMC! Boy it's cold outside. Low 20s and a wind chill of 7 degrees! It feels like winter out. Too cold for April. It's supposed to be cold next weekend too. Maybe after that it will start to go back to normal (I hope). Anyway I am ready to go to work and hopefully I will accomplish more today than yesterday. I felt lazy yesterday at work because I was tired. Today I feel less tired but still think I need to catch up on a little sleep tonight. Other than that just moving along through this week in April.
Hope you all have a great Tuesday and stay warm in April!

Have a good day Edge..I agree it is so cold out there!

Good Morning...we woke up to another 2 hr delay for my kids. Just work today and hopefully I can get in a workout. It is so cold out there, I think I am going to turn on some Christmas music. I was watching TV last night and I saw my first Christmas commercial for the Tree Dazzler. It was so nice to see it! Hope you all have a great day!

Good morning MMC! Happy Tuesday!!! Have a great day!!

LOL, that's what I was thinking while I was on my knees, too! But her grandmothers have been great at showing her about canning & pickling. She's awesome at that kind of stuff!

I never thought about planting asparagus, but we love it. I wonder if it will grow in our climate. And I'm pretty sure I've never eaten any rhubarb. Not on purpose, anyway.

That's awesome she enjoys it!! And she has great teachers!
According to Gurneys asparagus can grow in zones 3-8, so you should be ok to grow it! (Hopefully) YUM! You're missing out on rhubarb!

Thanks for the offer, I'll take a pass today.

Well, the lawn still needs mowed but now it has some snow on it now! CRAZY!
(Offer still stands...)

 

[Holiday]

Agreed!!
I've been reading each night for a bit, and have been running my fireplace to stay extra warm!
Hope you, Mom, and Emma enjoy your walk-glad you're staying inside! Stay warm to and from!
And enjoy baseball =]

Thank you - we did all of the above! Mom made it walking for 13 minutes - I told her today she does 14! But a blanket & a warm fireplace sound great right about now! (again!) Lol

Good afternoon,

It is truly a winter wonderland here today. It has been snowing all day.
I called out this morning, I was feeling sick, so I have spent the day just resting.
Nothing else going on, just waiting out the storm.

I hope you all are having a good day.

Hope you are feeling better today!

Good Morning, MMC~

Wishing you a safe, cozy, and blessed day!

We still have a couple hours of snow ahead. Holy cow. Really getting worried about Mr. having to drive tonight. I sure hope the roads are well treated.

Hope he made it home safely!!! xx

Every now and then we get sand/dust sweeping in from sand storms in the Sahara Dessert. The sand causes heavy pollution in the air and when mixed with rain it falls as a red/rusty colour. It is a nuisance as it stains. The dust in the air also poses health risks for people particularly with heart problems, asthma etc.

Sounds miserable!!! I'll be praying you don't see any of that this year.

Good morning ~ have a merry day!!

Good morning Meceka!! Merry Tuesday!
