brewing storm – 28 feb 2011
The much anticipated storm rolled in hours after it was predicted to arrive. And then, while intense, was over quickly. When the retaining wall at our old house collapsed, I had worried that I would never again enjoy a storm… but, once again, I do.
spring – 27 feb 2011
Despite not feeling well, I was still able to enjoy the spring-like day a little bit …
snow – 10 feb 2011
How surprised I was when I woke in the middle of the night and saw the ground covered in white! The roads were cleared, but the trees and yards were beautiful!
dreary day – 25 jan 2011
A rainy day was just what we needed. The girls and I took care of work and all of our homeschooling, and even crossed off a number of to-do list items as well!
cloudy – 17 jan 2011
Our last day in Fort Lauderdale was a cloudy, rainy one, but Chloe managed to sneak in some time at the pool anyway.
sunrise – 16 jan 2011
I love, love watching the sunrise at the beach! Amazing to watch the sky change every second…
snow boating – 11 jan 2011
School (Dekalb County, Georgia Tech and our own homeschool) was cancelled again today. The girls headed out to play in the snow, then came in to pack for our trip. Rob took the kayak out on the slopes. It seems Rob took some video of Chloe sledding. And I “borrowed” this photo from our very
snowy chloe – 10 jan 2011
Thanks goodness for all of the wonderful snowy weather clothes we purchased last year for our trip to Steamboat! Snowpants, long underwear, snow boots and warm, warm socks all came in quite handy today for a full day of sledding on our street!
SNOW!
Even before the snow started last night, most metro area schools and businesses had been closed for today. Strange to see so many closings, yet dry, clear streets. But once the snow started to come down, it came down FAST! By ten-thirty, we were inflating rafting tubes in order to sled down our street. The
spring, please – 7 jan 2011
Not really. I don’t mind the chilly days very much. The days *are* getting longer, thankfully. And I am looking forward to six inches of snow this weekend. But I’m also on the lookout for signs of spring. I love those first blossoms after a drab winter.
grey day – 5 jan 2011
“Texting while operating a motor vehicle” may be illegal in Georgia, but I doubt that taking photos with an SLR is… I hate the texting law — I don’t text while driving (heck, I rarely text!), but the law prohibits me from checking the traffic map while I’m stopped on the interstate — STUPID LAW!
Let It Snow!
We’d been hearing the reports all week. It was a topic of discussion at last night’s Progressive Dinner. But it arrived a day early … Snow in Atlanta! While I sipped my morning coffee, I watched the sky progress from clear and blue to overcast, grey and heavy. I began to hear via @ajc that
Be Careful What You Wish For
Less than TWO weeks ago, I was begging for cooler days. And now, those cooler days have arrived. But, wait! These aren’t cooler days. These are frightfully cold and crisp days. So cold that we can’t open the windows at night. In the short space of about ten days, we’ve gone from not being able
End of Summer…Please?
Despite the continuing high temperatures and sweaty foreheads, today marked the end of summer for us. Yes, there are many “end of summer” days in our house. And I keep hoping that each milestone will truly bring an end to this blasted summer. I wish I could say “Yes, September 22nd, the weather will be
rain, rain, DON’T go away!
This afternoon, I could feel my mood brightening. Not because I had gotten in two full days of work back again at my high-productivity levels. Not because I had also walked for 90 minutes on the treadmill and gotten much of my drudgery and packing done. Not even because Rob took the girls out skating
wild weather today
we had planned to have breakfast and then swim before leaving, but the weather report made me rethink our plans. I hoped that by leaving earlier, we would hit the storms before they had gotten stronger. Maybe that’s true or maybe not, but we had some wild weather. In Louisiana, the clouds started to get
seattle? atlantis? where are we?
What’s that bright orb up there in the sky? For a while there, we felt that we had been transplanted to Seattle. Day after day of gray, rainy skies. And then the torrential storms came…the ground was already saturated, so with no place for the water to go, it headed to the creeks and rivers.
snow!
Yes, it really did snow here in Georgia! Around noon yesterday (that would be March 1st!), it started to snow, and kept snowing all afternoon. It even THUNDERSNOWED! Yes, it was thundering while snowing. I’d guess that we ended up with about three inches of snow on the ground. The snow even stuck to the
