    Afternoon all wish I had got the weather before sleep came this morning.

     

    Awoke to neighbor having left firewood on my porch, if this was winter I’d expect Snow.

     

    Autumn would mean frost, kinda curious whar’s Coming.

     

    Must be cool NE Temp’s presently 47*, yesterday hit 68*.

    Wonder if T fella has really messed the weather up so soon.

    If you’re looking for personal messages, there will be a teeny weeny little envelope, beside My Settings Guidelines etc header on page.

     

    Help actually seems to work for the moment for all things AARP.

    Good morning to everyone on the Front Porch on this sunny and cool Friday morning. Our high today will be 59* and no rain for a while. 

    Sunday we will be meeting our famiy for a Mother's day brunch at the Old Depot Inn.

    I'm hoping everyone has a restful and enjoyable weekend. 

    Our special Front Porch today is on a cottage we have stayed at. It is at our favorite lodge in Northern Wisconsin.

    Cloudy with sprinkles here. 70 right now...warmer outside than in here. Storms move in later maybe. Mother's Day looks like a washout.

    Nothing exciting planned for this weekend. Same old, same old. Hoping to get some of my plants into pots if the weather is going to be gentle. Picked up grape tomatoes to put in the big pot this year. Have had normal size, and cherry tomotoes, but never tried grape tomatoes before.

    Hope all the Moms out there have a nice Sunday. N.

    44* and raining for the moment, now. Promise of Snow coming for Monday it’s a WTFoxtrot 6” possible.

     

    Great day to function, start a fire, and have 2 power hits while trying to work on-line, think the UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) held up but, won’t know until  later.🤣

     

    So hows the rest of the world holding up.

     

    I had to go upcountry yesterday and found a weird bird for Maine, or at least to my viewing. 

     

    Downloaded an app - Audubon to ask, and appears to be Cormorant🤔.Cormorant??

    Time to play in woodpile-I guess.

    53* cloudy and bringing in firewood, just in case of snow or rain or frost - covering all bases for next week.

     

    Besides will need space for more green wood to dry out for winter.

    54* and maybe going weather crazy, my downgraded 3” of snow is now @ possibly 1 foot of snow coming.

     

    The  joy of life in New England, and on that cheery note back to firewood, head cold and vertigo.

    Would you believe I have been wearing winter coat to go outside these last 2 mornings?   Looks like the low was 47.  Low humidity and sunny days in Camelot, in the 7os.  To my sorrow we will not see these temps for another 4 months or so.

     

    I went shoe shopping yesterday for new Skechers.  My old ones still look good and on top of that they are cute.  The new ones are not very cute but feel better & I put my Walkfit arch support in them and hopefully I will not be complaining about foot pain for a while.  So far so good, I do feel better.  @Frozenoem   I hope you are feeling better too.  Your posts do sound more chipper. @DaveMcK   The blue house & porch among your pictures is beautiful.

    49* but, might improve, my weather app and my back both agree Warmer temps are coming.

     

    Generally hot in mountains first , then the coast, may return to normal, I hope.

     

    @LaDolceVita 

    Feel better and not - curious.

    Cold and fever hang on, but finally get my Dr. Appointment and blizzard won’t be stopping him.

     

    Now, while I can’t breathe is a good time to scrape the poopers poop- looks hookworm free.

    For pm’s When click doesn’t work, what is the last character in your nom de plume. The one following n566192 is it an l, as in lion or an I as in India.

     

    There are just times when no matter what combination is tried no one is found in AARP land🤣.

    @Frozenoem   Good for Chelli and for you.  About the worms I mean.  And my gosh, you are still waiting on that appointment!  Hopefully it will prove to have been worth waiting for.

     

      @n566192l   I give up on carpets, I will never live in another house with carpets.  My husband says I should live in a barnlike structure, something like a Morton building fixed up like a house.  Those are actually quite nice on the inside but I think they are quite expensive.  We shall see, moving is not in the immediate future.

     

    A day out for me tomorrow with a girl friend, away from mom, dogs and all the troubles.  We will have great weather.  @DaveMcK  Sorry you have been rained out but think of Froze, he mentioned snow near his whereabouts.

    First day above 60* with no desire to touch a computer and cell has been off. I take sunshine when I get it🤣.

     

    @LaDolceVita 

    Morton bldg of steel? I don’t know about that, steel roofs heck yeah👍 Those I love.

     

    Carpets are a delight in cold weather. After ms Chelli and her worm treatments,5-6 Times. Went industrial strength carpet cleaning, rug doctor😎.

     

    Re: Specialist if I can walk upright without cane and dizziness constant, I’ll be one happy camper.

     

    Chainsaws and vertigo don’t go well together, kinda like oil and water don’t mix well. I’m too young to feel so old.

     

    Time to stagger, need 1/2&1/2. before it rains but, it’s not snow!

    And the snows yesterday were another 6 hours Northeast from me.

     

    We’re a small state population wise but, land wise huge.

    Alright now Northern Lights alert including for VA, NY, NJ and pretty much everywhere else, if weather cooperates?

     

    For tonight and tomorrow, get out and look up. Look toward the darkness, what a good night to have lent my camera for the week.

    Good morning to Everybody out there in Front Porchland!

    I'm awake right now because I am nearing the end of a sixteen hour shift (having worked two shifts back to back).   I will soon be tooling home after first stopping by Mickey Dees for a breakfast sandwich and juice. Ohhhh, how I am looking forward to my warm bed (electric blanket will be turned on and up high as soon as I get there).  Not only is the body tired, but it's got pains and sore spots on toppa (sic) aches.  If I had the energy, I'd soak in a hot tub before turning in.  But naw, naw, naw!  While everybody else in getting up, I'm lookin' forward to "gettin' down" as it were!  Smile.

     

    Anyway Front Porchers,  enjoy your Friday!  TGIF indeed!!!!

    Good morning to everyone on the Front Porch on this overcast Friday morning! We are looking at more rain this afternoon here. Things are changing in our neighborhood as our neighbors  to the West have put their home up for sale. 

    Hoping everyone has a great and restful weekend!
