Good afternoon to everyone on the Front Porch! It's been cold but no snow here for a while. Looking forward to my retired employees Christmas lunch tomorrow. It is always good to see those you knew and worked with for up to 30 years this time of year. Great to keep in contact with those you know in person or by the internet.

No problem on my gender identity, male last I checked.

Not quite Sasquatch either only relatively hairy, hairier when still wearing kilt and performing in bagpipe band.

Those day ended thankfully, many years past.Guess someday I may update my profile picture.

And on that cheery note, I need to start a fire, humidity is rising and Woodfire is calling.

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!

@DaveMcK Last time I posted a picture it was fine, a few days after Thanksgiving.

@catwoman500I was interested in finding out what you thought of the last episode of the Durrells. I think my question was buried in a post when you were not being notified? Anyway, I watched the "Woman in White" 1st episode and I was right, I had very recently watched a movie on PBS with the same title.

We are off to the homestead for a day at the court house and to pick up and carry away more trash. There was snow up there this weekend and it is probably muddy!

@FrozenoemOnly problem with being tall is that you have farther to fall! I am 5 ft and do fall sometimes but usually no ill effects, I just get mad.

Wow! Ooopsie! I missed reading this post, and now I can't even remember what the last Durrells was about! Was it the circus one?
Did you finish watching this new version of The Woman in White? N.

Good morning, Front Porchers!

Rough night last night. A lot of sleep disturbance. So I'm slow getting up this morning. But at least it's sunny outside and after the temps having hovered in the teens earlier in the week, I'm happy to report a heat wave at 33 degrees. Smile.

Anyway, the garage roof is totally finished and looks good. Now, the rains can come and the insides will be dry. However, snow is still not welcome!

Wishing everyone a good day and calm weather. Be well.

Mornin', Everyone!

A cloudy day here. It' 37 but feels like 33. Not bad since we'll be zooming into the 40's later. Yesterday was a gorgeous day, but cold. Glad I went out to do the end of my Christmas shopping. I'm almost finished. YAY!

Unfortunately when I went to the basement yesterday to throw in a wash I heard this trickle of water. There's a bucket under some pipe coming out of the heater, and I was supposed to be watching it to see if there was too much water coming out. So I have been sporadically checking and dumping the littel bit of water that was in the bucket, but this was the first time I ever saw the water actually trickling out. Called my heater comaony and the guys came out and had to replace some valve. I think he had told me to keep an eye on it earlier because he didn't want to have to charge me for the expensive fix. ($486!) So he was very sorry when he presented the bill to me. And this was the heating/AC customer price. He said if I wasn't a contracted customer it would have been a couple hundred more. YIKES!

So just what I need at this time of the year on top of all the money spent on gifts.

Anyway, at least the heater was still sending out heat and it will be fine for the winter.

I need coffee. Have a good day whatever you are going to do! N.

Hi, All,

Today we are sacrificing the sun for some warmer temps. It's 50 right now, but the rain has started. We are expected to have a rainy weekend.

Trying to get the rest of the inside decorations put in place and trying to organize Christmas gifts so I can begin wrapping soon. I'm in the holiday mood after stopping for my Skinny peppermint Mocha at Starbucks this morning.

Ok, there's the dryer buzzer...have to go down and bring up that load.

Have a great weekend. Stay safe! N.

@DaveMcK...Cute fur babies!

Wish I could be out on the real front porch with a cup of coffee, but unfortunately at this time of the year, the temps do not cooperate. We are haveng a rainy weekend. Plus the temps dropped and the wind picked up. The Grinch on the lawn across the street took a tumble last night.

It's 39 again and feeling like 33...not too bad, but with the rain that will continue into tonight and the wind, it is not pleasant at all out there.

Stay warm and dry, everyone! N.

30* and snowing, think it’s going to be a really long night/day🤣.

I’m alive and working with self adhesive heating pads, called survival.

Great news temps have risen from single digits, it’s a heatwave.

Canes are ready, today it’s a belt change again on snowblower.

enjoy the coffees brewing, won’t say which end of the civet there from.

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!

Good morning, Front Porchers!

It is a good day! I awoke to sunshine and patches of blue sky peeking through white/grey clouds. It's 35 degrees right now, but we're looking for a high of 38. At least, it's above freezing. So I am happy. I have already fortified myself with a large cup of sugary, cream-colored coffee (means there was more cream than coffee). And I've already tackled my first project of the day--cleaning out my refrigerator's small top freezer. All expired, half eaten, or never opened packages (those swelling with freezer burned veggies inside) were dispelled to the garbage and the plastics to the recycling bin. After a thorough wiping clean and replacing of the salvaged items, the freezer looks most useable now--ready to be filled with new edibles.

Oh my, in the time it took me to write these few words, both the sun and the blue skies have lost their battle with the clouds. Do they look like snow clouds?

Grey, grey go away.

Don't come back any day!

Well, I never claimed to be a poet just a wishful thinker. Smile.

Be well one and all!

Lydia
