Most of my flowers are dead but the mums and snapdragons are still hanging on.  It’s time to start cleaning out the gardens and get ready for winter.  It seems to be coming early this year since we have had b […]

Our morning is beginning with light breezes and clear skies, but our forecast is calling for yet another cold front moving in and giving us clouds and more wind.  What an October this has been.  We can only hope t […]

Today will be one of the warmest days that we’ll have this week with highs expected in the mid 50s.  Then another cold front will descend on us from Canada and highs will only reach the 40s.  This entire month h […]

Yesterday was one of those days where we had all of our seasons mixed into one.  We began the day with sun, then the clouds rolled in, and soon it started to rain.  At first it was just a shower, then it i […]

This Saturday morning is beautiful with clear skies and fairly mild temperatures.  Unfortunately, the forecast for later today isn’t as nice.  That “S” word is even in the forecast but no real accumulations are e […]

NOAA has come out with their predictions for this upcoming winter, and if I’m reading it right, our winter doesn’t look too bad.  Of course, we all know how these long-term predictions go.  They can change at a m […]

The past two days have been very windy and today should be the last blustery day.  The cold front has moved through, and even though highs will only be in the low 40s, that will seem warmer than the 50s with 30 […]

Once again, we have strong winds with gusts up to 30 mph; so even though it looks nice, it isn’t very pleasant being outdoors . . . . and forget combing your hair!  But it is what it is and I’m thankful for a […]

Yesterday was a bit warmer than what was predicted and it turned out to be a beautiful day.  Today looks to be wet although the radar is showing most of the rain to be almost past us.  Temperatures all this week w […]

Yesterday wasn’t very pleasant, especially if one had to be outdoors.  Temperatures continued to fall throughout the day and blustery winds added to the mess.  Today will be even colder but the winds won’t be n […]

What a difference a day makes.  We went from July weather to November weather in just a few days, but that isn’t unusual for Michigan.  I had my windows open most of the night but today will only see highs in t […]

The past two days were very warm and dry, but today will see the end of it.  Our temperatures are still in the 70s but they will be dropping the remainder of the day after another cold front goes through.  We a […]

We could see highs nearing 80° this afternoon and I’m thinking that this will be it for our very warm temperatures.  Yesterday was cold and wet leaving 0.02″ in my rain gauge.  There is a lot of rain showing on th […]

Although we did get a few glimpses of the sun yesterday, most of it was gloomy with drizzle.  We had a thunder shower early in the morning but it didn’t last long and the thunder was distant.  There is only 0 […]

Radar is showing a mass of rain heading our way from the southwest.  We have a little thunder but mostly just heavy rain.  I was lucky to get the dogs out before it began because it looks like it will last a w […]

Radar is showing a large mass of rain moving in from the southwest.  The past two days have been lovely so at least we got a little break.  My husband managed to get the lawn mowed yesterday.  Today is expected to […]

Yesterday was absolutely gorgeous.  Our temps made it into the 80s and the humidity was low.  There was a nice breeze which kept the house comfortable with the windows open.  Storms were rolling in late in the da […]

Tuesday was damp and misty all day.  There was an additional 0.06″ in my gauge this morning, and although the rain has finally stopped, it is still damp and not a pleasant morning to be sure.   Our temperatures wi […]
