Christmas Countdown - 2018

[Meceka]

Good Tuesday morning! Lots of rain moving in later today and some areas East of us will get a lot of snow. I have my first physio appointment for my left arm this morning. As we were watching the morning news before David left for work, a falcon landed on our balcony. I was in awe, I'd never seen one in the wild so close. Hope everyone enjoys a great day!

Be safe in the rain!
Did you get any pictures of the falcon? Having one land so close had to be an awesome experience!
Best of luck on your physio!
Have a merry day!

Bon Matin, Mes Amis.

Pardon my French, but things are really hoppin' as we move relentlessly onward to a matched set of Milestone markers.

The figures for the day:
Days to the Season: 224
Days to Christmas Day: 266

And as far as our markers are concerned, we are facing back-to-back ones later in the month.
The ONE-THIRD point to Christmas Day will be here in just 23 days (3 weeks from the day after tomorrow) to be succeeded immediately by the 200-day Season Window.
(Get ready for a slam-bang finish for April, Folks!)

We continue with the nice, pleasant weather as April is coming in like a lamb so far.
Warm temps, low humidity, gentle breezes and no precip. (If it wasn't for the pollen, it would be dowring heavenly!)
We have begun this second day of the work week at 49 degrees here in the capital city.

Have a Terrific Tuesday, Everyone!

Merci, Couronne!

Good Morning from lake Indiana!!! Send a boat and tacos!! Lol!!

We’ve went from snow to non stop storms. Interstates and 68 streets are flooded and shut down. They are evacuating a hotel south of me that is flooding. Power is out in places. Several houses are on fire from lighting strikes. It’s going to get up to near 70 though! Oh and just for the fun of it, it’s going to snow tomorrow. Ugh.

Needless to say, I’ll just be hiding inside today.

I hope everyone has a great day!!!

Be safe, made!!

We never need high winds or tornado's!!! EEK! Wind is supposed to pick up here later this afternoon & it looks like the winds don't die down until 6pm tomorrow night! Geesh!
Stay safe!

Be safe, Holiday!!

Good Tuesday morning, Christmas friends!

It's another sunny day, getting up to 87°F, if the weather man is to be trusted. Whew!

I still have a slight cough, but I'm ok with that, as long as I feel good.

The big boss is here, and I have meetings starting soon. I hope y'all have a great day!

Hope your cough goes away soon!

 

[Holiday]

Thank you!

Michigan looked sad out there last night, but at least they did better than Michigan State! =)

They started out looking good & then it went the other direction!

 

[Holiday]

Have fun watching!

I plan to. It will at least be on in the background! Hope you are having a good day!

 

[Meceka]

Merry Tuesday!

Praying everyone in the path of the storms stay safe!

 

[Holiday]

Another round of strong storms is coming through. Going to shut down the computer. I may not turn it back on before heading out the door this afternoon, so everyone, have a wonderful (hopefully uneventful weather) evening!!!

Unfortunately I didn't have my phone nearby to take a picture and if I had moved it would have flown away anyway. But it was strikingly beautiful.

Morning MMC. Happy Pines Day. Raining this morning. What else is new lol. I feel like since March 1 we've barely seen the sun here. Hopefully this bad weather pattern we've been stuck in for so long will break around the middle of the month. That's what they say at least. Have a great day!

Thank you Martine!

Merry Pines Day!
We’re expecting showers today with highs near 55 degrees. It’s going to clear up later this afternoon. We’re supposed to have a beautiful sunset at 7:20, I may take a beach drive to watch. Not too much going on here this morning, I just need to make a Target run. Other than that I will be working on daily chores. Dinner will be spaghetti & meatballs. That’s about it. I hope everyone is well and has a nice day!

Good Morning, Happy Holiday Hunters.

And as we hunt the holidays, we encounter other game along the way, in the nature of those exotic Milestone markers.

Today's numbers, fresh off the press:
Days to the Season: 223
Days to Christmas Day: 265

Our two pending markers arrive during the latter part of this month.
They are, in order, the One-Third Christmas Day Milestone and the 200-day Season Window.
They arrive on successive days, beginning on April 26, now just 22 days away. Three weeks from tomorrow!
(Things are starting to heat up, again!)

Well, the pollen blanket is thick and unrelenting. (I'm so grateful I don't have any allergies!)
A good rain is needed to do some cleansing and we are predicted to get some this evening.
Currently, we have cloudy skies and a temperature reading of 66 degrees here in the central part of the state.

Well, it seems that Carl is a bit overstocked on fired twinkies and wants to hold an Easter Twinkie hunt on the grounds of the 'Pines. I pointed out we are three days past Easter now, but he was undeterred.
Actually, it sounds like it just might be fun. He says there will be one hidden extra large twinkie in the shape of an "animal" (as if we didn't know what kind) and the finder will get a "special prize". (Sounds intriguing!)
Hope to see as many of you there as possible.

Until then, you all have a Wonderful Wednesday, Folks!
