OOTD – Winter Wednesday

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday, I hope your day is proceeding according to plans.

 Today we are experiencing more unseasonably warm weather but the temps are expected to plummet tonight with a cold blast of winter winds.  This weekend I’ll sort through my “bin o sweaters” to determine which ones I’ll kept and which ones to donate.  I am not looking forward to the cold weather ahead but it’s the price we pay for living on the east coast.

OOTD – Sunny Monday

I hope everyone had a fan-tab-u-lous weekend.  Ours was uneventful and restful so now I am fully charged to begin a new work week.  Last night we finally got some much needed rain and today the Lord has blessed up with a bright and sunny Monday!

OOTD – Summer Songs

Happy 1st Day of Summer 2012!!

With an overly warm winter and a very rainy spring it’s only natural that summer is barreling in with excessive heat. We have been given excessive heat warnings for today and Thursday with temps expecting to reach the high 90’s but feel like 100 degrees. This morning at 6:00 the readings were above 70. Stay cool, hydrated and safe!

Summertime fun in the sun calls for good music and these are my favorites – click on the links to see YouTube video. What are some of your favorite summer songs?

There are numerous published safety tips on how to stay cool during the excessive heat and I am definitely adhering to the one about dressing lightly.

After work I will be hitting the pool!


OOTD – Peaceful in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania has some beautiful scenic views and I am fortunate enough to be surrounded by one of them at my workplace. Commuting almost 2 hours a day in major traffic is very stressful, but thanks to God’s gift of nature I am calmed at the end of the drive. I enjoy taking walks at lunch even dodging the geese poop because I know there are people who do not have the gift of sight to appreciate the beauty that surrounds us.

OOTD – Tropical Punch

Once again we have been blessed with a beautiful, sunny day and to top it off it’s FRI-YAY!! Traffic this morning heading north was light because most people are heading south to the Jersey Shore – thank you my friends!! This afternoon I may not be so lucky with the south bound traffic heading to the Delaware beaches. Where ever you are headed this weekend I hope that you have a fan-tas-tical, fun in the sun time with tropical drinks that have tiny little umbrellas in them – be safe my friends!!

OOTD – April Showers Brings More Showers in May and now in June!

“April Showers Brings May Showers and Again in June…Rain … Rain … Please Go Away!!!”

Other than the ducks and the weeds I don’t know who is really loving all this rain. Yesterday it was thunderstorms and today it’s on and off showers ~ I am sick of it! Don’t I look unhappy??! ((^_^))

Are You Ready for Some Gardening?

This past weekend most of my neighbors and friends were outside working on their lawns and gardens.  Willey Farms in Townsend was one of the places to be as they are stocked with annuals, perennials and lawn ornaments.

Marigolds $2.20 - 3.79

Bird Baths, Urns and other garden ornaments were plentiful

Thank you Wanda for taking and sending these pics, it has motivated me to get started on my garden!
