It was cold this morning. It was 13 degrees. I wish it had been this cold at Christmas. With the rain we got, it might have snowed.

Ah! That's better! Now I can see your photo, Cedar.
Breathtaking!
I nominate Cedar as photo queen!

 

[Cedarfarm]

Morning all, from a slightly chilly UK!

The snow yesterday was disappointing to say the least... it settled for about 10 mins, before it started sleeting! Boooo! Oh to have snow like you Cedar! Can we swap? Snow scenes like that make we want to pack my bags and sneak into the USA as an 'illegal' and stay there cheesy

I'm sitting here with a nice hot cuppa joe, thinking about making myself a countdown calendar for work with all the milestones on it.... yeah, I think that will be my project for the day! I guess I should squeeze in some work at some point today though cheesy

Anyhoo, happy Friday everyone, the weekend starts in 7 hours 37 mins... for me anyway!

Sila, how's the snow up in Glasgow?

[Rennabelle]

Its a bit brisk here in Oregon also but not freezing like it was. The rain moved in a warmed it up a bit.
Sorry I haven't been posting much but its Master Gardener class time again and again Im head of hospitality and have a lot of things to get done before the first class starts.
Its also time to start my perennial seeds and get my greenhouse in tiptop shape for all my seedlings.
I also have lots of material to cut out and have ready for when I feel like sewing curtains and matching quilts. Lots and lots of cutting. I have curtains for 2 rooms and 9 queen quilts, 4 double quilts and dozens of lap quilts to make. A friend and I are making lapquilts to donate to the fire department so that they can give them along with the food baskets during the Holidays.

I'm not very well folks, i was sent home from work today, i was sick everywhere in the kitchen eeww it was embrassing to say the least! I feel a bit better now im home.
I think there must be a stomach bug or something going around, i haven't ate anything differen't or out of date. I've got a pounding headache.
Anywhoo, i hope everyone is well, we've had no snow today, just lot's of fog.
Luv Clare xxx

[Crown 84]

Wow, Clarebear, I hope you feel better soon!
At least it came AFTER the holiday season!

Days to the Season: 314
Days to Christmas Day: 356
(300-day window 2 weeks from today!)

COLD this morning with my thermometer reading 19 when I left for work.
It's stocking cap-gloves-scarf weather!
Days like today make me glad I have an office job inside.

Have a Fabulous Friday, Friends!
......and a Wonderous Weekend to go along with it!

 

[Cedarfarm]

Aww, poor Clare. Drink your liquids...get some rest...get better!

Chilly here, 5 degrees. The horses eyelashes are white!

Oh my, here we go...let's see..will it be President Obama or President Huckabee? Can I turn the radio off now? For a couple of years? LOL.

~Have yourselves a groovy FRIDAY!

 

[scoobie]

I'm not very well folks, i was sent home from work today...

Sorry to hear that Clare, sounds like the bug I had on Christmas Day! Make sure you keep your fluids up, and take some paracetamol (if you can stomach it).. oh and get some rest and you will be fine in a day or so....

There has been a lot of this around this year, has even been on the news!

Take care of yourself!

Dr Scoobie.

cheesy

 

[clarebear]

Thank you everyone.
Oh it's going around then? I hope i dont pass it on to anyone, i'll stay away from people for a few day's.

I read about that stomach bug all the way over here in New Jersey, USA! It's big on cruise ships too...Called the Novovirus...No real harm unless you are really young, really old, or already sick from something else...They said that it clears up in 12-48 hours...Of course those will be the worst 12-48 of your life...

I second the nomination for Cedar to be our Photomaven...She is really, really good...Unless she wants to be really, really bad...But that's for another forum...Anywho...She's an excellent photographer! I have a number of her photos spinning around on my screen saver here at work...Perhaps we should start calling her Ansel...

Three cheers for Cedar...Hip-hip...

 

[RadioJonD]

Hooray!...Hip Hip...

...

 

[kelly ann]

Hooray...!!! ''L''

How about a thread to show pics where we're from??

 

[mammaduke]

Clair, I hope you feel better soon, I can't stand being sick. Make sure to have plenty of liquids, green tea is great for a cold, I'd always have alots of chicken soup.
