Well, as I write this, Nigel has already changed the clocks for the end (or is it the beginning) of Daylight Savings Time. I honestly don’t understand the reasoning behind this. What I do know is I hated it when I was teaching. My kids had a hard time getting to sleep while it was …
It’s March, and that brings all kinds of madness to Indiana! First, there’s the weather. We hit an all time high last week (or was it earlier this week). Anyhoo, I won’t be the least bit surprised if we don’t have at least one snowfall sometime in the next couple of weeks. And, then, Indiana …
It’s time for my regular weather report. One of the local tv stations is saying winter is pretty much over for those of us in Central Indiana. He blamed it on El Nino. I’m sure my daffodils and hyacinths are happy, but I am not. I would have liked one really, really good snowfall! Friday, …
Ah, February! Here you are. Have I missed you? Hmmm, I don’t think so. It always seems like this shortest month of all drags on forever. And, this year, we get an extra day…yippee? Even though Nigel and I don’t really do much for Valentine’s Day, I caved for this month’s 10 on the 10th. …
Here’s the weather report for this week. I woke up on Sunday to a couple of inches of snow on the ground. Nigel had hurt his calf or ankle; it changes places. 🤦Our very good neighbors are recovering from a bout of Covid so I shoveled our driveway as well as theirs. Needless to say, …
Ah, January! The month some of us love to hate or hate to love! Did you know more couples separate or divorce in January? I do wonder why that is. Do you think it’s because of the added pressure of the holidays? January was named after the Roman god, Janus. He was the two faced …
Ok, let’s get the weather report out of the way. Friday and Saturday, we had highs in the high 50s (~14C). It’s almost like when you’re emerging from winter. In fact, I spotted some of my hyacinths peeping out of the mulch! I think it’s supposed to cool off this week, but I’m not holding …
It’s a little early for another round of Would Your Rather, but everyone seems to like them so here we go! Remember that Roman calendar? Well, December would have been the 10th month. For those of you who took Latin, you’re shaking your head and thinking, “Yep, that makes sense.” For those of you who …
So, it wouldn’t be a 10 on the 10th if I didn’t talk about the weather, right? Let’s just say it’s been quite nice for November. We did have snow flurries on Halloween, but that isn’t unusual. All of the annuals are gone except for the ferns. I think I’m going to keep them and …
A wee bit of history… When Nigel and I were first married, I worked at Lincoln National Life Insurance Company in Fort Wayne, Indiana. And, yes, when we answered the phone, we had to say that entire name! I was a group billing clerk which meant I processed insurance application cards for new hires at …
