    Good morning to everyone on the Front Porch! Looking at the weather channel radar I'm very thankful I live North of the Illinois state line. For those living East of here I suggest that you stock up on a your essentials like TP. Hoping that everyone has a great week.

    Good morning,  Everbody!

     

    Well, the storms of winter are blowing in and hopefully through.  Snow, wet, cold. Ugh!  Yet, we have much to be thankful for. Simple things.  As for me, I'm thankful that I woke up this morning.  Thankful that my bed was warm.  Thankful for the fullness of  my lite breakfast this morning.  Thankful that I can sit at my computer  and that my fingers still work well enough for me to be able to type these words. Thankful. Yes, thankful and for so much more.

     

    Thanksgiving Day, the holiday,  has passed.  But that doesn't mean that thankfulness and gratitude should be forgotten until next year.  And so I'm celebrating today while reminiscing days gone by.  With that I offer the following musical interlude.  Please listen and enjoy by clicking the link below:

    God bless one and all on Our Front Porch!

    32* and I’m late to check in, seem to have a blizzard coming 18” expected tonight tomorrow.

     

    Discovered the joy of puncturing lung with rib, and on that cheery note need to go put air in snowblowers tires.

     

    With cane just in case I have another oopsie. Maturity stinks at this point, and I’m not chronologically old enough to say that.

    And yes, after long days/nights, I'd still like to swing these hunks of glass , plastic and silicon against the nearest wall Come on retirement!

    Hi, All,

    Guess I'm late to the party, too. Never received any notifications that there were new posts until Froze's today!

    We finally had a break in the bitter cold the last 2 days and are now headed right back into it. Cat Frustrated We have had a lot more rain, too. Nasty weather!

    Trying to get stuff organized so I can decorate inside and out. Brought 3 rows of branches for the tree up from the basement and stuck them in the pole today. Looks funny, but I can't go up and down those steps to the basement anymore today. Whew! N.

    @catwoman500  I started laughing to myself here, I am getting a funny picture of your "tree".  What did you think of the last episode of the Durrells?

     

    We have cold here, will be about 42 but this is Camelot cold, with sunny skies, air feels crisp and clean although it probably is not!

    Made it 5 feet, and reverted to shovel. No snowblowing at moment, time to play with the belts tomorrow maybe?

     

    Enjoy

    I need wood fire.

    @n566192l  Hope you get better soon!  Was wondering where you were.

    @Frozenoem  I hope you get some ray of hope soon regarding vertigo.  Can Chelli just play outside without a lead?  I mean in a fenced area?

    Frozenoem,

    I just read some of your older posts, I am so sorry to hear about your vertigo. Must be so hard on you. I read the post where your pup wreak havoc and you had to get out the Hoover.

    So, are you cleared by both Drs to drive?

    I’m alive, punctured lung with rib, fork tender.

     

    @LaDolceVita

     

    New dip, dog Officer in town, no barking ordinance. Means dogs even in fenced in 300’ kennel means no bark.

     

    For high energy dog, that means she walks attached to human.

     

    Need to shovel out kennel, to remain upright to walk her.

     

    Working put issue, now.

    Greetings All,

    Just Windy and about 45 degrees here in Jersey. 

    Frozenoem, sorry to hear about the No Bark Ordinance. I just found out I need a One million dollar balloon policy, because I have a 🐕. My yard is totally fenced-in. Thank goodness for USAA. I hope you are feeling better today. Thanks to the others for asking where I was. I have pneumonia, and also I couldn't find the site.

    Good morning,  Everybody!!!!

    It's Friday!  Last day of the month of November 2018.  It's been a hectic month for me and I am just so glad to see it roll to its peaceful end.  It's 39 degrees here and for the first time this week, the sun is out and I can actually "see" sky and it is the most beautiful pale blue.  Lovin' it for sure!

     

    Big project happening this weekend.  I'm finally getting  a new roof on my garage.  It's been needed for years, but now it is a MUST DO as opposed to a "wanna do" or a "maybe one day do."  Hopefully, the weather will hold up and the rain and snow will stay away so the roofers can work (maybe not in warmth), but at least not cold and wet.

     

    Wishing all Our Front Porchers a beautiful day today and weekend ahead!

     

    Be blessed!

    Greetings All,

    Just an over cast day here for the first day of December. Boy, some of you have many projects to handle this time of year. I am just going to be trying to be taking it easy today and for a while. That doesn't mean, I am going to stop everything just slow down. I hope all your projects are completed on schedule . Nancy

    Good Afternoon, Porch Peeps!

    Cloudy and chilly here today, but at least the wind died down. It was blustery for a couple of days. Funny, but it's 39 here, too! Rain is expected for a lot of the weekend.

    My house looks like a tornado hit...Christmas boxes and decorations pulled apart all over the place. I hope to get it all together and restored to normalcy (holiday style) soon. Cat Wink

    Speaking of bad weather...just heard there was a major earthquake 8 miles north of Anchorage. Yikes! Cat Surprised N.
