| Cool, damp, and fog. No sunshine again but my cyclamen and Christmas cactus are blooming. |

We were below freezing last night, but the sun is bright at 2:00 pm.
That does not mean it is warm but it means God loves us and there is hope for more sunny days. |

| Winnie, when we get our first Autumn frosts, usually about 30°...I take sheets, bkankets, comforters, etc and throw over the things that I hope survivre. It works, so we can continue to enjoy those plants until a hard first comes along. |

The weather in way upstate NY has warmed up. We did enjoy a beautiful snow storm on the weekend ... over 6 inches of snow. Gorgeous!
Someone said something about another storm on its way! I so enjoy a good snowstorm.
Winnie, watch out for falling iguanas! Read the weather alert! I read that they are an invasive specie in Florida. Perhaps this would be a good time to gather them! |

| It looks like we're going to have another 6 weeks of winter here. Darn. It's the same every year -- we have fog and clouds all winter but the one day you can count on it being sunny is Feb. 2. It's been a pretty mild and dry winter so far. Hoping for some more rain. |

I don't like lizards! Why? I'll never know. When I was a little kid I loved horney toads or horned toads. We would build little homes for them in there dirt, putting rocks around each room. We loved to find some baby ones. They were everywhere out in west Texas. I have never seen one in this area...And I have always wondered why TCU in Ft. Worth used the horned toad as their symbol.
The other strange thing my brothers sweater, given to him by the athletic dept. When he was a freshman says Wogs. I have handled and played with lots of horned toads, but TCU called them horned frogs and the boys on the football team started out as wogs. Polywogs??? |

It sounds like they got their reptiles and amphibians mixed up :-)
My kids, especially my son, were always catching lizards. I had one run up my stockinged leg while driving on the freeway one day; another time I went to put on my night gown and one was inside it. |

Last fall we had about a dozen little lizards who collected on the kitchen window screen each evening. They were the clear pinkish, good for the garden kind.
I hope you did not have a wreck on the freeway, because I might have.. |

We had a lovely snow storm on Friday ... close to 18 inches of snow. It was beautiful. Stayed home from work, didn't see the logic in tackling the weather conditions.
Today the weather has warmed up. |

| We have had a wet winter here this year. I am tired of dark drizzly days. We do get a sunny one here in there but we don't get dried out before it's raining again. The Farmers Almanac predicted our area correctly. |

| I'm envious of your rain. We had some back in December but only a drizzle one day since then. If we don't get some good snow in the mountains and rain down here in the valley we'll be looking at water rationing again. Time for a rain dance! |

Judith you need to sing the song we learned at church the year it was pretty dry...
Its beginning to rain, rain, rain... Said the voice of the Father, saying who so ever will come drink of this water...I will promise to pour my spirit out...on your sons and your daughters. If you're thirsty and dry, look up to the sky...its beginning to RAIN.
I would walk up and down our lane singing that little song. Everyone in our little country church did the same. Eventually...maybe two to three weeks later God answered loud and clear! So when my men mention it is getting dry...I sing to God. |

| it seems like we can always crab about the weather. Those of us here in the frozen north put up with very cold and snowy conditions. Tomorrow it's supposed to be -26 below wind chill with snow. That causes black ice that's hard to see and treacherous driving. Luckily I don't have to go anywhere. Thank heavens for long underwear, electric blankets and hot cocoa. Great quilting or crafting weather. |

| It is perfect quilting weather here in Texas, lots of rain and cool weather. Unfortunately, trying to finish (or just make a dent in) the move, I will not get any quilting done for a while. |

Linda, our last move caught me in bed with strep as well as the flu. I was so sick...but we had a deadline. So after a few days of meds, I began to fill black trash bags... With clothes, shoes, towels, etc. I wrote labels and stuck them on the bags. My husband and son tossed these in the back of the truck for the drive to this house. I never went outside...until everything had been moved. Then I bundled up for the ride. I had a terrible cough! .
Then I went in this house and went to bed and slept until the next morning. I had missed a week of school. I had to get well enough to go back the following Monday...and I did it, with God's help!
My problem was that I was so weak that after teaching all day I was spent. So each morning I was going through black bags looking for shoes, jewelry, scarves etc. It was summer when I finally got things organized. |

| Judith, I would gladly give you this rain if I could. We have a short time of sun yesterday and back to rain today through Friday. I'm starting to feel like the house is waterlogged. The ground is a muddy mess here. Been good days for doing chores and reading. |

| After a bitter -38 below with wind chill yesterday, we woke up to 12 above this morning. I will enjoy doing chores today. |

Julie, I guess you must be used to that weather, I don't know that I could handle it.
The rain has left for a bit after last night. The sun is out but the wind is bitter. Bundling up before we head out today. Going to enjoy the sunshine though. |

| Luckily the rain stopped Wednesday afternoon, because we had a leak in the laundry room ceiling - again. This had already been claimed on insurance 2-3 years ago, and Ed had waited (or procrastinated) until a few months ago and had finally repaired the ceiling, and then, of course, it started leaking again. We called another roofer, who had put the new roof on our new house, and he came by yesterday. He said the other repair wasn't bad but wasn't the best way to have fixed it; he caulked a spot he said he thought was the problem. He didn't charge us and said if it didn't hold (we have more rain coming on Tuesday) to call and he would remove the first repair and repair it correctly. He was a former insurance adjuster, and said it would be best not to claim it again for the same spot, which was what I told Ed anyway. I may have him do that, anyway, because I don't want to have the new owners have a problem when we leave. |
