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 …
I have no excuse, absolutely none! I kept looking at the date and thinking I needed to get this done. But, my friends, I kept procrastinating. Here it is, only a few days away from the due date. So, to take your minds off my inertia, here are some of the fun things I’ve learned …
I was not going to talk about the weather, I promise. I wasn’t, but then it changed so dramatically. Last Monday, we had the air conditioning on. Nigel turned the furnace on Thursday or Friday…just to see if it was working! We have had very cool days in the 50s (10C) and lows in the …
Did you ever wonder why October wouldn’t be the eighth month? I mean octo- means eight, right? Just like our friend, September, October once had a different spot in the calendar. The Roman calendar didn’t include January and February. Once they were added, October became the tenth month, but no one bothered to change the …
I am not going to talk about the weather. I am not going to talk about the weather. I am not going to talk about the weather. OK, I am but just a little. Last month, I was bragging about our lush green grass. Well, that has definitely changed! It’s been hot and dry here …
