11/18/24 - Donuts and The White Stuff

Oh, Muzza.......We know it's coming, and hate when it gets here. We see frost on the grass each morning,, are thankful when the sun rises, hangs around long enough for the frost to disappear. Tis 26 °, frost of course, the sun is trying, but will take a while longer I guess. Supposedly, Wednesday is the day when the nasty stuff comes for us. here. Gosh, snow can be pretty to look at, but not welcome to deal with. Stay safe, be careful.
 
53 and sunny.

Muzza: Sounds like you got hit hard. I hope you stay warm!

Lil0: I envy your rain. We got wind a plenty here, just need the wet stuff.

Poirot: Hope you don't get too much of the white stuff.

Wishing everyone a great day!

So sorry that many of us are cold today. Makes me feel very wimpy that while you all are battling frigid weather, and snow and of course rain, while I myself am here in sunny Florida upset about my current 67 degrees. Time for me to get brave and take my sweet Cookie for her morning constitutional. I will however do it with warm shoes this morning, and not my usual barefoot. Oh yes and a long sleeved shirt, that is comfy and cozy and long pants. MMMM wonder if I still have some said long pants. Aha most likely in my bottom drawer long forgotten, but at least hopefully still there, lol and more hopefully that I am able to get my much more ample bottom in said pants.
 
Good morning.... we woke to rain.... it was expected and it was the HEAVY down pour type rain, it's let up a bit. Soccer has been delayed by an hour at the moment. If the lightening continues it could be delayed more. the BEAST does not do well in the wet, so this is a problem, I love long walks in the cold rain with a dog trying to find the perfect spot.

CookiesMom, I hope you find your warmer clothing, I had that same problem when I lived in Arizona, yes, it did occasionally get cold, it wasn't often. Moving here has proved to be a challenge as I have no cold weather clothing beyond a sweatshirt......I'm adapting.....

I hope everyone survives Monday.....
 
It rained during the night. Less than half an inch. It's been windy all day. There's a chance of thunderstorms later
this afternoon. I see big rain coming from Oklahoma. Tuesday is going to be a nice day before colder weather.

When I left church, it started to sprinkle. Then it got heavy. Then light. I was lucky no rain when I recycling. I had
regular stuff and big box of paper no longer used. I got most of it taken care of today.

Muzzaman, is your winter weather later than usual this year?

Poirot, hopefully you can get out before the bad weather and get some things.

Cookies Mom, I hope you found long pants.

rf, sorry you had to get to work earlier. Did you have any time off last week?

I hope everyone has the nice rest of the day.
 
gONNA try and get out tomorrow, as will be only chance before the really cold wave arrives.
 
We had big winds yesterday, finally died down last night. Actually rather still out there today. Tomorrow is the end to the Nicer weather this Fall.........Yeah, the nasty cold, arrives, followed by that white stuff eventually. We never know what to expect, for sure (and neither do the weather persons) been an odd year, weather changing all the time.
 
Hello. Guess I kinda dropped out for a day or so. I have lots of things coming up so my limited attention has been on how to go about getting them done.

Robin, that cow almost looked like sliding down a hill was a routine thing for her. Too funny. You never can tell about cows. They sometimes do the strangest things and appear to take pleasure in doing so. You know, it's great that you love walking in cold rain with a dog.....Haha!

Brisbydog, those Highland Cows sure seem to have risen in popularity lately. I'm seeing them a lot of social media. But I've never seen one in person. Angus cattle are by far the most popular ones around here, though there are other traditional breeds as well.

Wilde Woman, I thought I saw on tv that rain was headed your way. I hope it didn't miss you.

Cookies Mom, it's good seeing you here. Hope you were able to get into your pants! I'd gladly take a few pounds if you have some to spare but unfortunately pounds are like rain-- impossible to share.

Well, Sexton, stinkin' on it, when ARE you going to get some time off?

Poirot and Muzz, looks like it's time for each of you to hunker down.

Lil0, you've almost cured me of complaining about wind. It seems to be so much worse where you are.

Kat, if you're getting rain from Oklahoma, I bet it's what came through here last night, as it was heading that direction. The wind didn't get nearly as bad as they were predicting so I hope it won't be bad for you either.

Our wind probably didn't get much over 30mph last night (and has continued today but will stop by tonight), though the various forecasters were wildly predicting anywhere from 40 to 80 mph! :eek: So thankful that didn't happen. I did get 1.4" of rain, which is drying up quickly with the wind and sun working on it. Looks like the rest of the week will bring pleasant weather.

I think my traveling son and family will be here next Monday or Tuesday. They're in Mississippi now to visit a couple of days with old friends. Also they have two more families to visit between there and here. I've got "errands" in several towns in different directions to get done, including helping my niece move a pickup truck from 90 miles away to her place. I'll take her there and follow back as she drives the truck. Need to get to another town and renew licenses on my truck and two trailers and pay taxes, all of which I started out to do a couple of weeks ago. Have to pick up a prescription in the other direction. We have to get our cows moved before they are to be worked in the first week of December, and this needs to be done in increments. Things to do at home. Yet here I sit. Now I'm going to try to make some soup for supper.
