Forgot!

 I got two minutes!

Rain Wind and 68°.

Have a good day my wonderful travelers!

Starting Out Good

 I must say this morning is starting out good. No spiders in my shower, no drain flies at all (I remembered to cover all my drains), no dead fly floating in my coffee and no spiders waiting for me on the Front Porch. Yep. The morning is starting out good. 

The weather report is all I have time for. Currently we are enjoying 

Fog/Mist - third day inna row.

96% humidity - that we know changes drastically by afternoon

South winds at 3 mph - also subject to sudden changes

62° F - that would be 17° C

Expected high today is 72° F or 22° C

A ... I used to call them WIP's, I think. But I can't for the life of me remember what that stands for...

I've been doing this for a just a few days now and I'm already bored with the Front Porch weather picture. *heavy sigh* 

Got my work cut out for me if I'm gonna make the pics interesting.

May boredom NEVER enter your life, but if it does remember, you're the one that invited it in. It's up to you to decide how long it'll stay.

Live Laugh Love my fellow travelers!

Scalding Coffee

 I just burned my tongue, gums, throat and esophagus with a sip of scalding coffee. This is yet another event in life that it is better NOT to learn from experience. It's best to listen to those who have tried it and warn against it. There is zero shame, zero cowardice, in thinking "that sounds like good advice, so I'm not going to do that" and then avoiding the unpleasant experience altogether. 

*Humphf*

How's the weather, you ask? Let me consult the oracle that is the NWS...

Well, they have given me a big N/A... what do you mean "Not Available?!?" Someone is napping at the job. I just hafta check the previous hour. :) Alrighty then. Someone has been napping since 5am. The most recent observation was logged in at 4:53. 

So at 4:53 this morning the weather was thus:

Southern winds at 5 mph

Overcast skies with Fog/Mist

97% humidity

63°

Since I can step out onto the Front Porch-

  

I can add the observation that it is raining right now.

 I gotta run some errands, so I'm off for now!

May your day be great and full of new things to see read observe hear feel smell taste learn and dream!

Much love to you, my fellow travelers of this most excellent universe.

Grocery Shopping

 Grocery Shopping

The weather first:

currently at 1:40 pm, 

The temp is 67°

Winds a variable 5 mph

Humidity 87%

Overcast Skies.

Now as for the grocery shopping:

Since my furlough from work, Baby Sis and I have grocery shopped together every Sunday. I don't dread that particular chore anymore. Sis makes it an outing as opposed to a chore. Anyway, Thanks Sis. You've no idea how much I love Sunday mornings with you. We went to Panera Bread and this morning we both had a Bacon, Scrambled Egg and Tomato Wrap. Oh yeah, we ask that they add avocado. DELICIOUS!!

We have tried one of their sandwiches, and I personally found it to be no better than the breakfast sandwich I have gotten at Wendy's. But the soufflé is my favorite! Their Spinach and Bacon Soufflé is wonderful. I must say that I don't really view it as a true soufflé. Don't matter! I LIKE IT!

Today Sis and I took a bit of a leaf peeping drive. Funny, how I didn't take any pictures of leaves. But I did take this one of the beach.

And this one of the cove: 

And the ducks:

And a pic of one of the many rock cairns:

A nice morning...

May all your mornings be nice, my dear travelers.

Live Well Laugh Often and Love Much

The Poults Are Growing Up

Good morning.

Currently, at 5:54 am, we are enjoying 56°, Fog/Mist, 96% humidity and calm winds.

Todays forecast calls for morning areas of dense fog, followed by mostly sunny skies, calm to 10 mph winds and a high of 68°. Here is what the Front Porch has to show at 5:51 (pretty sure that's when I took the picture).

Yeah. I hadta turn the porch light on to get anything to show up. Morning pictures might not be an option since I decided to pick autumn to resume this blog... that word and I are at odds. Since I'm stuck on the "sounds like the need to retch" mindset with "blog", I'm going to call my "blog" my retch. Seems very appropriate and just a tad more tactful than referring to it as my verbal diarrhea. Anyway, I'm going to add another picture taken on September 22. A nicer picture to look at. 

The poults where I work are getting big!

May all your wildlife encounters be positive ones, may you find immense pleasure in the simplest things life has to offer and remember to 

Live Laugh Love, my fellow travelers of this wonderful universe.

Weather is All I Got Time For

Weather is All I Got Time For
 I got 5 minutes! And believe me, I cannot accomplish much in that time. Here's a weather pic this morning. At least it's from my Front Porch, right? I mean, that way I don't hafta change the title of this blog.... after all this time the word Blog still sounds like someone retching. :) On to the pic!
The weather auguries say current temp is 58 alt 0176 umm... yer sposta type the numbers whilst holding the alt key :) 58°. they also say we can expect a high of 72° with calm winds and partly sunny skies. Sounds perfect to me. 
May your day be perfect for you, whatever a perfect day may be for you.
I'll edit for mistakes tonight or tomorrow.
Later travelers!

Where to begin again...

Hello

 I haven't done this with any regularity in so long. I'm unsure how to begin again. The weather is a safe place to start. Let me consult the weather according to the NWS. That being the National Weather Service, just in case a memory needs to be jogged. We had a high of 79... I have to look up how to make the degree symbol again. Hang on... ok, got it. Hold alt and type 0176 and TA-DA! ° there it is. 79° for our high today. Fair skies this morning and mostly cloudy skies this afternoon. No precipitation. Yesterday was pretty similar but the three days before that- BRRRR! The lows were in the 30's. I thought winter had come early. 

I suppose I can take an evening picture. The weather pictures will not be what they used to be. My view is, well, lets just say I have no view. But it should suffice for a weather visual.

My porch. 

The one that greeted me this morning with a medium sized spider. The same porch that greeted me with a Godzilla sized spider the morning before. It got sprayed this morning. Umm... the porch not the spiders. I shoved the spiders off my porch with my snow shovel and wished them luck as they scurried toward the rear of the building. Yes, I said snow shovel. Really, I thought winter had shown up. My bed is calling me. I'm off to dream land, my dear reader and fellow life traveler. 

I hope your dreams are pleasant and your sleep peaceful.

And as always, Live Well, Laugh Often and Love Much. 

It's the best way to live.

Corona Virus and Still Nothing To Say

Well, how 'bout that Covid 19 virus? I gotta say, with great enthusiasm, this year has been awful. Spent almost 2 months furloughed from work and under, what amounts to be, house arrest. I did find out that it's gonna take quite a while for cabin fever to knock on my door. I wasn't bored at all. I guess I am more than ready for retirement. 

Still, after all this time, I got nuttin'. Quite frankly, I don't think I'll ever have sumpin' again. But there's always the weather.

Currently in our neck of the woods, at 8:32 pm on the 24th of June in the not so wonderful year of 2020, we are enjoying 67° of mist/fog with southern winds of 5 mph. The humidity is coming in at 97% but at least it's not hot or hazy along with it. The Three "H" Weather is NOT one of my favorite ways to spend the day. 

I got nuttin' more. Wish I did. With a raging pandemic underway, and events happening that are changing the world drastically, you'd think I'd have plenty to say. 

Till next time, live, laugh and love as much as you can. It's still the best way to live.

Mojo

*heavy sigh* I'm trying... I really am...

Heavy Sigh

                         *heavy sigh*

Absolutely Nothing

Nuttin'.

37°, 76% Humidity, 3 mph Wind, Overcast

Nutshell Weather
I'll add a WIP later if I remember to take one when I leave for work, AND if I remember to post it when I get home. 

Stomach still messed up, so I'm too tired or lazy to wanna do anything else but sit mindlessly, staring at a computer monitor and whatever the cursor clicked on. Definitely something going around the workplace, cus 4 fellow employees are plagued with exactly the same thing.

Stay well, Travelers.

Nikcam And Powcam

I have recently purchased- second hand- 2 point and shoot cameras. I had high hopes for Nikcam. But alas, it has a battery issue. One I have found to be pretty common in digital cameras. The pesky issue where a brand new set of batteries lasts about, oh, 5 minutes, or less than a dozen pictures before the "battery exhausted" warning flashes across the screen and the camera then promptly turns itself off. Still trouble shooting that one. Nikcam appears to take wonderful pictures, when it can. 

The second is Cancam... wait, I have a Camera named Cancam. Ok, this one will hereby be known as Powcam. Powcam... I like it! Powcam has only been powered up long enuf to set the time and date and snap a couple of pictures. No real testing of its capabilities yet. I have found a certain delight in testing second hand cameras. Every camera I own but Samcam (oh Samcam, I miss you) is second hand. Of course, there would be no testing of these cameras EVER, if it weren't for the Goodwill's return policy.

:)

I need breakfast.

...

yummy

...

Through the window I can see the dawn's bluey light and I hear Robins singing. Phone says we got 40° of Overcast skies that are promising rain in the near future. We also have 70% humidity and a delicious 3 mph breeze out of the SW. 

Time to go visit the Front Porch.

...

The following WIP is brought to you by Nikcam.

2 pictures later the Nikcam's batteries died.

This next WIP is brought to you by Powcam.

Batteries are hanging in there with the Powcam.

Are ya bored yet? If not, you might want to check for a fever. You may have a cold or something coming on. This is the longest period of time with the "I got nuttin's" yet. It will pass. Just dunno when.

In the meantime, my wishes for you are always sent out with much love.

Have a great, grand and glorious day, Travelers.

Digestive Issues

Digestive issues.

I'll stop there, since even that is too much information.

Weather:

36%

86% humidity

3 mph SW winds and

Overcast skies

Not the best WIP to illustrate the lack of overcast skies. Really!? And they call themselves Weathermen...women... people... persons... WHATEVER. Those Weather Guessers are nothin' but
LIARS!
Overcast!? 'A Few Clouds' would almost qualify as an exaggeration.
:)
Deep down I love the Weather Guessers. They do the best they can. And the 'keep 'em guessing' attitude can be very entertaining coming from them.
  oh dear...
Oh... bother.

May your day, no, make that your LIFE, be free of digestive issues.

Addendum:

The following WIP, once I post it below, was taken as I stepped out the door to go to work. The exact time officially being 6:44 am. That being just two minutes after I hit 'publish' this morning and exactly 10 minutes after taking the first Wip, that being the one up above the grumbling kitty there. I took the second one because I was still fussin' in my head at the WeeGees for saying it was overcast and was interrupted in my mental flogging of said WeeGees by an unbelievably blue sky. A blue that Phone couldn't duplicate but yer getting the pic anyway.

Now I ask you, do you see any clouds in that sky? No. There are no clouds. Which makes the WeeGees LIARS!!

You know, I just realized how much I love the weather!

And the Weather Guessers.

Dripping Wet Two Words

Fog.

Phone says the Weather Guessers say we have Fog.

Well, lemme tell ya, we do have Fog. Was no way not to notice when I closed my window this morning. Humidity is at 100%, the winds are out of the South at 5 mph and the temp is a balmy 45°.

WIP or WIV time coming up.

... 

Mocam didn't wanna take a WIV this morning. Nothing but dark. And it really isn't that dark out... hmmm... still trying to figure this camera out. Oh well, Lumcam took a WIP.

Foggy is the word. And Dripping Wet, two words. :) It's not raining right now, but it sure sounds like it is. I'm ready for work. Lunch is made, breakfast has been breakfasted, I'm showered, dressed but for my shoes, sipping my tea and trying desperately to come up with something to say this morning. 

*heavy sigh*

I got nuttin', witty, wise or otherwise.

I always have a wish for you though.

May your day be a Grand one indeed and may your Witty, Wise and Otherwise be awake when you need them!

Toodles!

I Ain't Sayin' I Forgot Cus I Didnt

Wow, is the wind blowin'. 21 mph out of the East with gusts up to 38 mph! Not as bad as the wind storm we had a few months back. Maybe we'll be spared the falling trees this time. I would like to take a WIP but... hey... maybe Mocam can play in the dark! C'mon Mocam, let's go see!

...

Mocam took a WIV! 

Kinda sounds like a personal issue regarding the urinary tract, but really it's a Weather Illustration Video. Not an entertaining WIV. But a WIV nonetheless! And it's NOT 75° out there like Mocam thinks. It's 42° with 96% humidity and Rain/Fog/Mist and Breezy, Breezy being a redundancy to go along with the wind we've already discussed. Audio couldn't pick up the sound of the wind. It's blowing hard enough to pelt me with the rain and soak me to the skin. Gonna need a dry pair of jammies.

Must share the short vid of my arm before bidding you goodnight.

Infared is kinda cool in a trail camera.

Have a Good night with Great rest and Glorious Dreams!

70 To 100 If We're Lucky

Sleet. We have sleet. Phone says the Weather Guessers say it's 30° and Overcast. Feels and looks correct. But we have sleet to go with it.

We also have 47% humidity and 3 mph winds.

Snow Likely then Chance Rain/Snow. Less than half inch accumulation.

And, finally, for your viewing pleasure, today's WIP is brought to you by Lumcam.

Kinda looks like all the other WIP's. Although Mama Nature is in the process of changing her clothes.

May your spring be a fantabulous one, Travelers. We only get anywhere between 70 and 100 of them, if we're lucky. May happiness and joy be the companions traveling with you through all seasons!

YouTubin' Is Fun

Still with the clipart.

46° with ... 46!? Wow. Anyway, 46 degrees with overcast skies, 83% humidity and 6 mph winds are the current weather conditions. Haven't been out to confirm that but it does feel a bit warmer than usual this morning.

The YouTube bug has struck yet again. I've gone from hummingbird videos to birdbath videos, gardening videos and Peacock Spider videos to shark videos, whale rescue videos, deep sea videos, Mariana Trench videos to live eagle cam videos, and then trail camera videos (Tim Harrell posts great videos), moved on to Irish People Eat videos, back to hummingbird videos and birdbath videos, then on to DIY toad house videos, watercolor videos (I love Jay Lee. He's awesome!), Jenny can cook videos, Food Wishes videos (guys voice over drives me nuts but I love his cooking advice), Freakin' Reviews videos and Inside Edition videos, moved on to Wildlife Aid videos and Science Magazine videos, then on to Nasa's ISS live videos, Norway's live Train cam videos... well, I think that's enuf to get the general idea of how I spend my spare time lately. Right now I'm watching award winning short horror films. Anywhere from a couple of minutes to half an hour. Some of them are spooky! Others, not so much. The acting is often bad enuf to ruin the spook factor. But even so, I love love love the amateur attempts. You can see the budding talent in the actors, camera operators, script writers and directors. Keep at it! Your names will be big one day. The talent is there.

I need to let Lumcam illustrate the current conditions surrounding the Front Porch at the moment and... BLAST IT! I forgot to put my clothes in the dryer. No time to dry them AND put them away now.

A WIP! Must let Lumcam take a WIP.

There we go. Good job, Lumcam. It's sprinkling ever so lightly out there.

Time for me to go!

Have a wonderful day, Travelers! Oh, and may your well wishes never be met with the rude and snarky remarks miserable people love to share. Case in point, "What's so good about it?" A remark which I get a lot and which is a sad remark as well as rude, because it so obviously points out one of two things, that nothing is good in their life or they just can't stand the well-wisher personally. But I don't let that ruin what's good in mine!

Love and Happiness to you, as always!!

Only Clipart And The Weather

Too tired...

43°

100% humidity

Rain Likely tonight

Weather In A Nutshell

Te Quiero, Travelers

April Showers In The Forecast

At the risk of sounding redundant, Good Morning!

Hope these images are in the public domain or free. That's what I searched for and this is what Google gave me. I think it's kinda purdy.

Weather is currently 28° of fair skies, 100% humidity and calm winds. There is a chance of rain this afternoon. And a chance of rain tonight. And a chance of rain tomorrow afternoon, tomorrow night, and Saturday, and Saturday night along with a chance of snow, and snow/sleet on Sunday, rain Sunday night, and rain Monday and Monday night, and Tuesday, and then it says " Tuesday Night Mostly Cloudy",  followed by "Wednesday Mostly Sunny." I'm thinking' "April Showers" are on their way. If the Weatherpeople are guessing well. It's the ole flip of a coin guess... I wonder if they actually flip a coin...?

WIP time. To illustrate the weather conditions this morning we are dragging Lumcam, Phone and Mocam outside to visit the Front Porch and mosey the M Woods. At 28° I don't expect the visit to be long and the mosey might turn into a mad dash for warmth.

Be right back.

Lumcam:

Mocam:

Phone:

All 4 of us are happy now!!

Have a good day, Travelers.

May your April Showers truly bring the May Flowers!!

Speaking of flowers, our crocuses have sprouted-

And so have these lovelies. I admit I'm not sure what these are-

As always, may

be your constant companions.

:)

Playing With The Clipart

I must stop with the YouTube videos. I have things to do before I go to the places I must to go and the videos are taking all the things to do time. I must be brief with this so I can get to the places I must be on time.

:)

Currently the Front Porch is enjoying.... that might not be the right word. Perhaps "shivering with attempted enjoyment" might be a better way to put it.  So, the Front Porch is shiveringly enjoying 22°, 92% humidity, calm winds and  :)  "A Few Clouds." I love "A few Clouds." It leaves an element of mystery and mild anticipation when stepping out for the first time, which I must do now.

...

Foggy out there.

May

and

be with you, wherever you are.

Breakfast This Morning

Mmmmm... Lovin' breakfast this morning. Why is it that you can have the same things for breakfast over and over again, and yet one morning, like this morning, it tastes so much better than all the other times your plate had the exact same thing on it? Even my coffee has manage to elevate it's standards today. I find it not quite as putrid this morning. It's just... bad. Which is a far cry above it's normal putrescent state. Tis all a mystery to me.

What have we for weather conditions, Phone?... Ok... where are you? Oh yeah. On the kitchen counter, where all phones reside when not in use.

23°. It's gonna be chilly then. Calm winds. No wind chill to contend with. 74% humidity. No pithy remark comes to mind. Fair skies. Again, zero with the pithy.

C'mom, Lumcam. The dawn's early light is showing it's colors.

Have a good day, Everyone.

Mocam Vid

I have a Mocam vid for you. Kinda sounds like a alien language... Mocam vid... Anyway, unfortunately, it's not a good vid. But when I got nuttin' a bad vid is gonna hafta do. Still haven't figured out the best settings on Mocam or why the videos are green. But it doesn't stop Chippy from being cute. Even if only for a couple of seconds.

Phone took a much better vid.

The weather. While I was sitting out there visiting Chippy, it was 38° with fair skies, 25% humidity and the 7 mph winds were gusting at 21 mph. Too cold to stay out there for very long. I think I'm gonna get me another glass of Sweet Tea, thank you Baby Sis, and see if I can't clean house just a little, before I get distracted and forget again.

Have a great evening and a glorious night filled with sweet Dreams.

Te quiero, Travelers. 

Wait. How 'bout some more free clipart? I'm getting desperate for things to share. At least this one adds a bit of color. 

Um, I Almost Forgot

Um, I almost forgot the weather and the most important part of the daily post. As for the weather, at this very moment we have 40 delicious but chilly degrees, 27% humidity, 3 mph winds and fair skies. There is a slight chance we will have a snow shower tonight, sometime between 11 and midnight. This, according to the Inaccurate Society of Weather Augurers.

As a current illustration of the weather, I have a picture just now taken that shows a recently added plastic placemat to the Water Station.

 

I don't like this particular placemat. It's one I already had and used as a crafting mat. But I think I like the idea. Now to find one that might actually look good. It fits into my criteria quite well. Inexpensive or free, a recycled or repurposed item, quick and easy to remove, clean and replace, and, I hope, slim to no chance of causing unintended harm to visitors.

Now, as for "the most important part of this post"

May your day... make that evening, be a grand one indeed. And may love and happiness follow you always.
