Thursday, March 2, 2023 Cloudy Under high Wind Warning Cool 61 Degrees 4:21 p.m.

A cloudy and cool day. We had a thunderstorm during the night and it was raining when I got up. the rain quit about an hour after I got up and it has been dry the rest of the day. I believe the rain will hit again tonight along with high winds. We are under a high wind warning with the possibility of tornadoes. Winter is still with us. We must have a talk with that groundhog!

Our first bible study went well. Charles is a good leader and the topic, The Truth Project, is very interesting. Also informative. We will meet again on the 16th as nest week Charles has appointments. That gives us more time to study our lesson.

The rest of the day has been quiet. I have worked on my story which is taking more time then I thought it would. I will probably finish it tomorrow and send it off. i will have to go through it and see about corrections. Now it is time to fix dinner.

Quote of the day: “Keep Smiling! The luscious plum forgot to….and it became a wrinkled prune.”

Have a beautiful rest of your Thursday. Make it a thrifty, saving, healthy, safe, and fun day.

Wednesday, March 1, 2023 Partly Sunny Warm Rain tonight 75 Degrees 4:42 p.m.

Hello March! We are expecting a major downpour of rain starting around sunset tonight and going until sometime around sunrise tomorrow. The weatherman said 2 to 3 inches. We do have sandbags if needed. Right now it is sunny and windy. I believe the storms from the west have arrived here, in the Tennessee area as well as the rest of the south. I guess March is coming in like a lion as the saying goes.

Son Jeff said that Reno was getting more then its share of snow and ice. Highway 80 is closed, and as the computer told me, Highway 88 and 50 and 375 were either closed or down to one lane with escort. I believe Highway 95 in that area is closed in several places also. This is Nevada, California, and parts of Arizona.

Emily Harter said that it was cold, rainy, windy and mucky at her place in California. She said the dogs were cranky because of the weather. they don’t like getting their feet wet. Dena Fair said that they had snow, was still snowing where she is. Searchlight Nevada is having snow. I pray that all are safe and warm.

Here, a quiet day, high clouds, warm and nice. I have simply done little projects and talked on the phone, answered e-mails and now will go start dinner.

Tuesday, February 28, 2023 Sunny Clear Warm Breezy 76 Degrees 5:32 p.m.

What a gorgeous day. So bright and sunny, So warm and luscious. All here are thoroughly enjoying every second of it. The weatherman said rain returns Thursday. The Cold returns Friday. I am thankful for each day. Also for raincoats, rain boots and umbrellas.

A quiet day. Visited with Julie for a while. She had her puppy dogs at the groomers. I know that Both Rocco and Zion will think they are handsomest dogs in Tennessee.

Swept the carport out. Thanks to Jeff I have a push broom. The leaf blower is great but the wind just blows the leaves right back into the carport so I do think the broom works better. I sweep them all into a pile, use the dustpan to scoop them up, put them in a trash bag and into the garbage can. Come Monday morning the garbageman will haul them off to the dump. That way they will have a much longer way to blow back, meanwhile making room for new leaves to blow in. WE never run out of leaves.

Not much other news around here. The dog across the street still has a strong bark even though he barks all day and half the night. One day his master will hear about it from most of the neighbors.

Quote of the day: ” Bumper Sticker: When you do a good deed get a receipt…..in case heaven is like the IRS.

Have a great rest of you Tuesday. Make it a fantastic, harmonious, thrifty and fun day.

Monday, February 27, 2023 Raining Windy Cloudy Warm Winter? 68 Degrees 5:17 p.m.

A beautiful windy rainy Monday. We have had rain on and off all day with some heavy downpours and fierce winds. I don’t feel the wind in here so only know it is really windy if someone calls and comments on how terrible the wind is or I look out and see everything going back and forth. Today Tina said it was like some of the ones we got in Searchlight.

The weekend was quiet. We had weather, rain and wind, but not to cold. We did some shopping for what we forgot the last shopping trip then home and did things around the house, watched a movie and did a lot of reading. A great weekend. Sunday I was back at Walmart for some envelopes and they had none the size I wanted, three boxes of the ones with windows and 5 boxes of letter size. It looked looked someone had gone through that area and open, tore and just made a mess in genera, of the envelope area. So sad that people thing that is necessary.

Today was laundry day and that is always fun. Sierra likes for me to set the nice warm clothes on the table and put the next load in. She tries to be unnoticed so she can lay in the warm ones. I am on to her so now fold them before putting in the next load.

I hope you had a great weekend, safe, dry, warm and fun. Have a wonderful rest of you Monday. Make it enjoyable, pleasurable, thankful and fun
