No Snow Yet

Here we are into January and we have not had “winter” yet. There has not been any snow and it is not cold – knock on wood. Not just here in Tennessee – but most of the country is having unusually warm temperatures. This morning I saw a news report that a lot of ski resorts are having trouble keeping snow on the slopes – it is not cold enough for man made snow. I find this a little troubling. Not that I can do anything about it, but I worry that the lack of snow will mean a drought for many places this spring.

Garden Progress

The garden is doing really well this year. I have had to do a little extra watering this week due to lack of ran, but that’s no bother. I just make sure I do all the weeding and watering early in the day – before the bugs come out. I think I hate swatting bugs worse than pulling weeds.

We should have plenty of tomatoes by the Fourth of July and the squash is almost ready to pick for some tender baby summer squash slices. That reminds me I need to find the summer squash casserole recipe that my telephone guy was bragging about.

Bad Weather

The phone ringing at 5:00 am woke me up. My daughter was freaking out because we had some severe thunderstorms and her power went out. So she had no way to know if there were tornado warnings going on or not. I turned on the local news and saw that it was just a storm blowing over and promised to call her back if I heard anything worse headed her way.

Of course, I can’t go back to sleep after all of that. So I’m, up, tired and cranky. Happy freaking Tuesday, people.

February

Four Weeks to the Day

The cool thing about the month of February is that it is exactly 4 weeks long. And that means that whatever day of the week a certain falls on in February, the same date will fall on the same day in March. So, if February 1 falls on a Tuesday, the March 1 will also fall on a Tuesday. Plus, February is last of winter for these parts. Spring is almost here.

September Already

Here it is September and only four months left in 2010. The year is dissolving quickly. The weather has turned cooler, the trees will be bursting into bright colors in a couple of weeks. Next thing you know it will be Christmas and then a New Year.
