Sunshine & Icicles

Even with the sun up it is FREEZING here in Central Florida...Global warming my .... er eye

A smart alec friend hit me on facebook this morning to let me know it's going to be 70 in COLORADO!
It is still only 28 degrees here and we might warm up to 55, in the sun I'm sure!

Question of the day..
Have you ever gotten something stuck in your head & just can't stop thinking about it?
Like a song you heard, something someone said to you (Good or Bad), a friend or family member?
A dream, desire, design?
What do you do to stop the endless loop?

More Eye Candy from the show











Received this email first thing this morning and thought it was a riot... if your squeamish look away













I will give you a second..











last chance







Okay you asked for it

I love Terry's sense of humor, he has many more, non violent, sculptures on his blog...check them out

SO HAPPY I LIVE HERE!

I have been chatting with a few friends & family the last few days on facebook, it is wonderful to be connected in daily conversations with those people you care about.
A couple friends are traveling to Minnesota this week from Florida...it's freezing and I mean freezing...the high is going to be -12 degrees...stay warm Cathy & Dawn.

In my hometown they have been getting snow on almost a daily basis and the temps are dropping. At least their high temps will be in the teens but they keep getting fresh snow!
Stole this from my niece's facebook...they are expecting another 3-5 inches of snow tomorrow?


Here in Paradise it is currently 64 degrees and partially sunny. Although storm clouds are in the gulf, and moving inland for later today this morning is picture perfect.

What will you do with this new day?

Mine is a little busy but I am going to enjoy it as I feel a bit better today, a friend is coming by to pick up some stickers to work on her album project.
The kids will be working on school & I hope to finish Gavin's Heirloom Stocking for next Christmas so I can pack it away with a few more Christmas Decorations today, between lessons. grading & domestic jobs.
Yes I still have the tree & some decorations up, they didn't go up until late this year & I am enjoying them still!


I LOVE FLORIDA this time of year...now get back with me in August/September to see if we have melted!

Scurrying around

We are scurrying around here this morning like little mice preparing for a cold winter....
Things are warming back up around here though :-( yes I am sad.

As a transplant from N.E. Illinois the thing I miss the most is Autumn...the cool crisp mornings when the sun seems to shine brighter than it has all year. When you can hear birds & small animals rustle through the leaves looking for those last few seeds & nuts to hide away for when the snow flies and food is scarce.
The quiet of sitting on the back porch bundled up with a hot cup of coffee just enjoying the peace and wondering what secrets my house could tell about the doctors that lived there for 140 years before me, about the children and their friends as they played under the 250 year old Silver Maple Tree.

Here you can wear an extra layer for an hour then the warm sun is heating things back up and those layers come right off.
While I hoped it would be cool for our camping trip this weekend and packed warm clothes it seems that I need to pack some shorts and typical Florida Fall attire too. Maybe Brooksville will hold true to her usual self and stay 5 degrees colder than any where else in Central Florida...at least for this weekend! Who knows maybe I will see the elusive Skunk Ape.

The morning started with our family tradition of Breakfast in Bed for the Birthday Boy, another card & a small gift for now. We are racing around to finish up before Larry arrives home, he had to work 1/2 a day and get tags for the vehicles....seems they expired the beginning of September, on his Birthday.

I am packing the laptop & camera as I hope to have wonderful photo's to share with you.
