Nice fresh year, nice fresh blog. Nice that mother nature freshened up your old snow, too.
One of my readers over at WordPress sent a recent email asking if I'd heard of Gordon Bok, or Bok, Muir and Trickett. I hadn't, but thought you might have, being from that part of the country. I don't know your taste in music, but really enjoyed Bok's Turning Toward the Morning. It's such fun discovering "new" music - thought you might enjoy it, too.
I've heard this before, and although that's a little mellow for my musical tastes, I do like the video alot...
Hope you get a bit of a warm up out Chicago way...
07:27 GMT le 11 janvier 2011
I was hoping you would post an update, and there it is. Looking forward to the photos.
I won't complain about the cold weather here for a while.
I know you have enough wood stock piled.
Snowbird is sounding better?
Stay warm!
Any article that contains stuff like this gives me chills all the way down here in Texas:
The Coast Guard also issued an advisory for mariners Saturday to exercise caution over the next few days as the the weather service predicts freezing sea spray throughout New England.
Sure makes me feel like a slug for shivering and layer at 45 degrees! Of course, part of our problem down here is that it takes us two months to realize we ought to be wearing more clothes. ;-)
I'll echo Rays - stay warm!
Thanks for stopping by. Send some of that 45 degree "warmth" up here LOL! Rays you know me too well. I have been pretty much "camped out" in front of the fireplace since Friday night at 11PM when I finished cleaning up the 17 inches. I haven't been outside for any more than 30 seconds. To the mailbox and back is about it. Snow-birding always seems like a great idea about now...
btw, some of my family is from Lewiston. A bit farther south, but cold nonetheless and suffering through this tough winter w/you. Take care!
thank you much, hope to have a good few days off work after 7pm tonight when I get to go home. LOL
You have a great weekend!
That's so true!
Gotta love February boredom of snow. Pretty classic! It made me laugh! :)
Take care!
I have 2 cats. Both spayed females 10 years old, quite content to sleep in cardboard boxes in the kitchen, near the food dishes! Both long haired, which is why I shovel part of my yard. They also like to get "out and about" on the mild days. Especially the golf course sand trap :-)
The cold of the past few days has hard packed all of the snow. Hopefully I can get out there today, but alas my camera is acting up. The on/off switch won't budge :-(
Speaking of snow, it's hard to tell from here, but it looks like you might miss the snow from this storm. It's about time you got more melting than snowing.
Have a good night - hope your power stays on.
#34 Bogon- The fireplace is a soothing escape from the snowbound doldrums. Thanks for stopping by. We dodged the snow bullet the other day, but almost 3 inches of rain surrounded my spot on the hill with a slush moat!
#35 Shore- So good to see you drop by again. Places North of me here in Maine got that 2 feet of snow that your friend in N.Y. had to deal with. I lucked out here, all rain. And I didn't lose power. Hope all is well down your way...
What a bummer and what a cruel April Fool's non-joke...
so many in the NE are getting snow yesterday and / or today...
Surely this will be the last snow of the season..
enjoy your weekend if you can, hoping for the best.
Happy Saturday to you.
Hope you warm up soon.

I've been pondering seasonal imprinting for the last hour. I made my first run to our little farmers' market in a while and discovered the strawberry farm I love has been harvesting berries for a month. Humph. I had no idea they were in already. I've still got that Iowa "knee-high by the 4th of July" business in my psyche somewhere. Sweet corn, tomatoes and strawberries show up in July, doggone it!
At least the fellow tells me we've got a month of strawberry production left until it gets too hot. I brought home two flats. Preserves, anyone? ;-)
Spring cleaning is right! This jungle here looks like a disaster zone.... Hope you are well and have some semblance of Spring there! Any flowers there yet? Robins?? Hoping so.
Take care.
Hope all is well in your area and wishing you and your loved ones a
Blessed Easter Sunday.
Enjoy,

Looking at your temps.. your area is really still sort of cold to me..
can you all swim in your lakes and such at this time of year or is it still too cold?
Just popping in to say Hello!
Anyhow, hope to get back to normalcy soon (well that's debatable) but it was good to see you! Take care.
sounds like a lot of fun things going on this month in your area!
and you are 74 degrees right now.. that "drives you inside"??? LOL
Just stopping by to say Hello!!!
My garden loved the rain that we got Monday and Tuesday, followed by today's Sunny afternoon. It was 79 degrees with a dew point of 50 at 2PM this afternoon. PARADISE. I just harvested 13 cucumbers, bringing this years total to 78. I don't expect to match last year's total of over 300 cucumbers, but that's fine with me. I won't have to give so many away! The temp has dipped below 70 now after 8PM, it's a beautiful night for a short walk, which is what I plan to do as soon as I log off!
Have a Great Night WUBAVILLE :-)
Been thinking about my friends up the coast, with Irene headed ya'll's way.
Stay safe and touch base to let us know how you are.
A nice day to mow my lawn and pick up any loose brush and branches for burning in my outside woodstove tonight. All lawn furniture put away, except for 2 chairs that I will put away Saturday. I will enjoy a day off Saturday, the calm before the storm...
Have a Great and SAFE weekend all!!!
