Good morning! Muggy is the word for today. We have a good chance for thunderstorms all day. Fingers crossed we get some measurable rain. I'm glad I don't have anywhere I need to go.
I'm looking forward to a catch-up phone call with my sister in Chicago later. Since her partner has dementia, we schedule it around what works best for her.
Otherwise, it will be a regular day of reading, family history research and indoor exercising. No way I'm walking in the sauna outside.

Good morning and happy #Slackerday! Yesterday we got almost 3/4" of rain, which has perked things up outside. Even the wildlife seems to be energized. I've seen a rabbit in our yard for the first time this season, as well as our usual fox and gang of squirrels.
Today is bright and cool, perfect weather for outside activities. Luckily that's exactly what's on the agenda.
It's one of those days when there's nothing pressing. I hope you have at least one of those days this weekend.

Good morning and happy #SofaSunday. Since it’s slightly cooler outside this morning I’ve let the cats out on the catio for the first time in days. It won’t last much more than an hour before the heat starts to build, but it will satisfy them for a bit.
I intend to stay put, relaxing inside. When coffee is finished I look forward to seeing where the day leads. No specific plans usually results in reading and genealogy research, which means a very enjoyable day.

Last night's celebration of C's birthday was fun. We all ate too much, which I think is a requirement. I made the mistake of ordering an ice cream cake, requested by the birthday girl, much larger than we needed. Despite sending home as much as my daughter's freezer would hold, I am left with a sizeable amount in my freezer. Oh darn.😉

Happy #SlackerdaySaturday! In other news, it's Kentucky Derby day. Growing up my family used to gather round the TV + watch, cheering on whatever our personal favorites were, based solely on looks or catchy name.
Lately, I watch it alone. TV coverage starts mid-afternoon, but I only need to tune in about an hour before post time to see the horses in the paddock, the walk to the starting gate and the race. The race is over in 2 minutes, but I'll be cheering on my choice with gusto.

Today's crisis is averted. Once a year a pair of Canadien geese show up to swim around our small pond. They make quite a racket, since they don't seem to be able to swim around without honking ad nauseum. At least this year they waited until the sun was up.
Our task is to make their life as unpleasant as possible until they fly off. Once that happens that's it until next year.
Yelling + arm waving, running at the pond has worked. They caved easily this time. See ya next year, geese.

Happy #SlackerdaySaturday! For some of us it's a very exciting morning, as the Irish 1926 census was released online at midnight (Irish time). I HAD to check it out first thing, and it's a treasure trove of information.
I realize most folks could care less, but this will keep me busy, with a smile on my face for days. It's like Christmas morning.
Enjoy your day today, whatever your plans. I'll be investigating my Irish relatives online.

Good morning! Our temperatures are a little more pleasant today, but we're in peak pollen season. Outside surfaces, including any car not kept in a garage, look like they've been dusted with yellow-green talcum powder. I'll do my daily walk but otherwise hide inside for the rest of the day.
I've finished purging the closets, at least downstairs, so I can read to my heart's content while the washing machine + dryer do the laundry.
Enjoy your Friday!

Good morning. Thank goodness for ceiling fans. With our house closed up against the heat, the fans keep the air moving. We've avoided air conditioning so far, after days of very warm weather, but today may push us over edge. Tomorrow we'll start to cool down, but the good news is our rain chance for Sunday is up to 60%.
I had a restless night's sleep, so I've promised myself an afternoon of reading after finishing up closet organizing. At least that's the plan.
#Today

2026-04-14 14:33:54 CEST

Good morning. The pollen has ramped up. The air has a yellow foggy tinge to it. I spent too much time outside yesterday and should have known better. This morning a box of tissues is my coffee companion and I'm re-thinking plans to re-pot a few plants outside.
We're in our second day of abnormally warm weather, trying to keep the house comfortable. I'm not sure keeping blinds closed against the sun is going to work well enough against 85F (29C) temps, but it's worth a try.
#Today

2026-04-13 14:27:32 CEST

Good Monday morning! The sun is up and we’re heading into a week of warmer than normal temperatures. The pollen count is high as well, so I’m content to limit my time outdoors.
There are a bunch of projects to keep me busy after regular errands are run. For once I have the motivation to get them started. Inertia is my biggest road block, so this will be a week of organizing closets and files. Time to get some indoor tasks done while the pollen does its thing outdoors.

Happy #SofaSunday. It's a cool, sunny morning, and I hate to say it, but we need some rain. Usually April is quite rainy, but we've had hardly any so far. I'll enjoy the sun and cross my fingers we get a day of nice, steady rain in the near future.
My back is stiffer than usual after weeding yesterday. It's just an unwanted "you're getting older" reminder. Walking and some stretching exercises should help and it's a good excuse to take it easy.
Enjoy your day!

Good morning! I'm in a better frame of mind after burying myself in a book and taking a long walk yesterday. I feel like my balance has been restored.
Spring is coming along, which helps. Our dogwood is blooming + the beech trees have finally dropped their old leaves that they carry all winter to make way for new ones. We even have some violets blooming.
Our long-range forecast has us in the 80Fs (27C) next week. We'll see. I'm just satisfied the sun is out and we'll reach 50F.

Good morning. I am definitely out of sorts. Mostly angry at myself for feeling so much hate for the person running our country (because hate doesn't hurt anyone but me.) The state of the world seems to depend on the whim of a madman + I don't understand why there are so many who can't see it or take it seriously.
I'm sorry for the negative rant. I know I'm not alone. I'll head outside to walk, contact my Congress people again and stay away from the news. That will help.

Good morning! Sleeping in has reset my mood and upped my energy a bit. Fingers crossed it lasts.
Yesterday I saw a lone turkey hurrying across our road, reminding me this is the time of year we often see them on our property. It's always an unexpected pleasure.
They usually just mosey on through into the woods. One year a single turkey hung around all day, meandering around the house like he was casing the joint. Cheap entertainment for us humans. I'm keeping an eye out. 🦃

You manage to get a lot done early in the day. I've been up since 6 am and have only managed to do laundry and clean the kitchen. I tend to get lost between my first and second cup of coffee, straightening things up and looking at our outside cameras to see what's happened overnight. That's probably a big reason I don't get to reading until after lunch.

2026-04-03 14:56:54 CEST

Good morning! We
re under a dense fog advisory, so there's not much to see out the windows. Still, it's a pleasant morning so far as the cats have settled in with me while I drink my coffee. It's Lucy's habit to curl up against me. Today Ringo has decided to take a morning nap right behind my head on the same recliner. A rare moment of détente.
I'm sure this calm won't last, but It's a nice way to start the day. I hope you all have moments of calm today.

Good morning! Yesterday we were twenty degrees above average, and today we are predicted to be 25 degrees above average, into the low 80Fs (27C). It was a treat to be out in shirtsleeves, but I found myself searching for shade during my walk.
Yesterday was the first day I noticed the birds using the bird bath to bathe in. I suspect they weren't used to the warmth either. I guess I'll have to keep an eye on the water level today, at least until thunderstorms roll in later.

Since it's a sunny day and projected to be warmer than yesterday, I'm going to head outside and see how the plants have weathered last night's below-freezing temperatures. I'll spend the rest of the day avoiding the doom and gloom that's spun weekly on Sunday morning talk shows. Not today, Satan.

With signs and dressed in layers against the 40Fs temps / wind off the ocean, we headed off to Ocean City to march down the boardwalk. What a great experience to walk side by side.
At her age I was a rule follower and people-pleaser. I would have been too afraid to buck the system and speak out. She is the opposite, unafraid of speaking her mind. I am proud of her.

Good morning! Today's unseasonable warmth should encourage more spring developments. Yesterday a pair of chickadees started to set up housekeeping in the birdhouse on our front porch.
Since all chickadees look alike to me, I'm going to assume they are the same pair that nested there last year. After all, that house was up for 5 years before any birds showed interest and now it's the second year in a row. It's got to be them, right? That's what I'm choosing to believe. 😊

Last month, Feb. 26th, I sent out 2 packages to my sisters. One arrived in Montana 5 days later. The one traveling to Chicago finally arrived yesterday. What a relief! Despite tracking it took filing a service request and daily calls. It pays to be a squeaky wheel.

It’s hard to predict what’s going to happen next. If you can leave I’m tempted to urge you to stay there permanently.

Good morning. For me this week is a countdown to our trip for Mom's memorial service this weekend. After a few weeks resisting the impulse to call her, I can't avoid that her death is real.
I'm comforted our whole family will be together. We're a far-flung bunch + it's been a decade since we've all been together. If I'm being honest, it will likely be the last.
I hope we will share fond memories + laughter amid tears, teaching the younger generations life is worth celebrating.

Good for you! Let the sun take care of the snow and enjoy your day a little differently than you usually do. It’s nice to change things up a little.

Yikes! Your poor head! That must have hurt.
I’ll bet it was all over in less than a minute, but you all must have been shaken up.

Sounds like a dreary way to start the month, though a roast chicken should brighten things up considerably.
Late tomorrow we're supposed to get some wintry "stuff", but not much accumulation. Between the weather and current events, it's hard to stay positive. I'm determined! 💪

We have a tree service coming out as soon as all the snow melts off and it dries out enough.

I know how you feel! We'll just keep moving forward and doing the best we can for those around us.
Wishing you a good Sunday. 🤗

Good morning! March started out here with strong sun, but now clouds have moved in. Being a fickle and unpredictable month, it will bring us a dusting of snow tomorrow. Despite it being #SofaSunday I'll go out and walk to take advantage of half-way decent weather while we've got it.
Big branches damaged in last Sunday's storm continue to give up and drop. It is not unusual to hear the crack of something falling in the woods when I'm outside. I stick to open areas. Safety first.

We have received your "gift" of clouds. I'm reminding myself it's the thought that counts. Thanks ?

Good morning. Glad the sun has finally decided to favor you. That always makes things better.
We’re expected to have clouds, but at least nothing falling out of the sky. I’ve gotten the urge to sort and donate, so I’ll take advantage of that today.
Enjoy the sun!

Any day is a good day for pizza! I hope you really had a quiet, easy day. You don’t do that very often.
Today we almost got up to 60F. I was tempted to take a chair out to the driveway and just sit in the sun, but I walked instead.
Enjoy your evening!

Rigby is a fine looking cat. Those eyes! I’m glad the anti-anxiety meds are working!

Hope for spring! 💕
What smacked me in the face was the fact that you said "they'll sit in the sun for a couple of days" so matter-of-factly. How great that you can count on that! We've still got chances for snow in the forecast. 😱

You and I are in the same boat with the weather, though ours is not supposed to start until late morning. It's gloomy out, but after the last week, I almost welcome the rain simply because it isn't snow.
After all the tossing and turning, I'd say you got your exercising out of the way and can go right to a nap after coffee. 😊

Good morning! Icicles are dripping and our pond is fully clear of ice, so I know things are melting. I'm looking forward to seeing the ground in a few days. For me that's, um, grounding. Until then, I have sort of a low-level anxiety when looking out and seeing nothing but snow + the limbs and fallen branches we've collected in piles around the property.
Things will be normal when I can go out and just walk to clear my head, but that's a ways off.
Wishing you a good Wednesday!

Good morning! It’s a cloudy day here, but we’re above freezing. That’s a big plus. It will take days before all our snow is gone and I can take a walk on bare ground again. Then things will feel normal.
Hope the coffee works its magic!

I hope tomorrow is above freezing so you get rid of all of your snow. Between some strong sun and slightly above freezing temperatures we had a good amount of melting today. Maybe it'll all be gone by the end of the week. 🤞
I sure hope you get the warmup you're hoping for next week. I imagine an outdoor bike ride would make everything much better!

Neither Pax nor Daphne looks very happy. They're showing their airplane ears! I hope one of them can save face and avoid conflict by finding a different place to sit. 🤞
I hope your Tuesday will be calmer later!
