It’s double nickels for me today! I was born in 19-double nickels and am double nickels in twenty-ten…might go get a lottery ticket :)!
Thanks to all who sent cards, emails, comments and a special thank you to Regis from Belgium who surprised me mightily with a box of Belgian chocolate (Godiva!).
I had no idea when I started this blog to keep friends and family apprised of my life and as a venue for some writing that people from all over, not only the U.S., but the world, would be interested in seeing what goes on in my corner of it. The friendships, connections and sharing of thoughts and memories make the differences less and the sense of community greater.
Cheers to all!
This week had its challenges, but much was experienced and learned!
And now, 6:30 on Friday evening, with the work week done and a low-key weekend unplanned, I am ending the day as I started – on the front porch.
Last night was another that stayed warm overnight, barely dipping below 70F before it started heating up.
But we all enjoyed a cool morning outside…
Bob, on a chair on the front porch in this photo, but he had been out and about earlier on his morning rounds.
Karl, behind the sunroom where I sat in my chair. We shared a morning biscotti and contemplated our respective days. And yes, Karl wins the prize for best attitude in front of the camera :)!
Friday: From the front porch.
Photos taken 8/6/2010
Misty mornings giving way to mostly gray skies continue. Temperatures hover between 25 overnight to near 40 during the day. Yesterday after a crunchy walk/snowshoe around the mountain loop, I went to the front porch.
Snow melting off the roof provided a symphony in the form of drips and plops on the snow and rocks.
I started with Karl for company…
Bob joined the party.
And…
…finally Steve.
All are welcome at “Beardog B&B” :)!
The weather!… 43F as I write this in the late afternoon and it was nearly 40 this morning when Steve took this photo. Much as I would love a nice fresh snow to snowshoe on and some real Winter temperatures, except for the sloppy mess it creates, this bit of warm weather and off and on sunshine feels pretty good.
