We have had a about a 50 percent chance of rain for the last several days but as usual, the wet weather passed us by once again. Ten miles to the northeast, storms dropped heavy rains, and the squall line moved steadily away from us. Maybe today will be different; I just would like toContinue reading “Luck of the Draw”

Feeling Blue
It’s over; the mild autumn weather has turned frigid and freezing temperatures have arrived. We even had to put a blanket on the pool. As I sadly did my duty, I couldn’t help saying, “See ya’ next spring.” #cold #winter #pool #freeze
