    Well,  Front Porches,  I missed morning roll call.  But at least we all can share in this beautiful view being enjoyed by somebody in the world right now.  Eventide.

    18* and the heat wave will continue, perhaps.

    According to broker/roaster of beans just back from Asia, close but, more like this.Asian palm civet

    @LaDolceVita

     

    At a few bucks per pound for free, I don’t care which end it comes from. It’s good, beside roasting beans kills most bad things and merely enhances the beans/cherries.

     

    Now, I need to plan first shopping expedition in 2 months.

    The larder is empty and eggs I’ve grown weary of.

    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 Thursday morning on the Front Porch to everyone out there! We had light rain over night. We are starting out the day with light shows at 39*. The long Christmas weekend will be in the 30's and almost no chance of rain. FB_IMG_1545179403629.jpgFB_IMG_1545179388384.jpg

    Mornin', Porch Peeps!

    37 here and cloudy. Those clouds are apparently bringing in a huge rain storm later that will last until Saturday morning. It's a shame since the temp will reach 60 on Friday, but nobody will be able to enjoy it with all the precip. The good thing is that it will be at least partly sunny on Christmas with no chance of snow.

    I'm off in a few minutes to buy the wine for Christmas. Cheers! N.

    Recently, I moved to the Sierras in northern California where just a few days before Christmas, I am surrounded by winter’s glory of snow peaked mountains and a cobalt blue lake. Currently, I am working on three books of poetry, short stories, and a memoir. I am also teaching myself how to read music so I can entertain myself on a coveted keyboard my son gave me for Christmas last year. Every day, my goal is to keep learning. It can help improve your performance on a number of tasks and, I find that the more I practice a new skill, the more I learn; funny how that works.

    @marieteresa01  Welcome to the Front Porch.    Would love to see some pictures oin the Sierras!

     

    Rain and clouds continue here in the southeast.  More of the same in the forecast, with perhaps a sunny day here and there.  The temps are high 40s and low 50s so not too bad, no long john weather.   Wanted to ride up to the homestead but afraid of traffic and prefer sunny days for driving.  I have plenty of chores here so I will stay busy. 

     

    @Frozenoem  Good news on the health front?  You have not mentioned any falls only healing recently so I feel hopeful that you have received some acceptible medication? 

     

    @catwoman500  I have seen 2 episodes of the Woman in White.  Follows the movie I have seen very closely. 

     

    @DaveMcK  Great Christmas dog pictures a few days back.  I like to think of warm and happy pets at Christmas, there are enough sad animals at the shelters.

    Good Morning, All,

    It's so cold in the house, but when I opened the door to get the paper, this warmth hit me in the face. It's 63! Winter arrives in a few hours and we are having April-like temps...but not for long they say.

    My stepson sent me an Oregon Riviera pear box last week, and I had the first one for breakfast this morning. I LOVE those things. If you aren't familiar with them, they are the ones you can cut in half and eat with a spoon right out of the skin. What great flavor they have.

    I have more wrapping yet to do and I was thinking about making cookies, but the baking urge hasn't really hit me yet. Cat Tongue

    Wishing good safe weather for everyone. Need more coffee. Still can't get any photos on this thing. N.

    @LaDolceVita

     

    23* and sunny in NW Maine, lost a whole 2” of snowpack, and 4” off waistline.

     

    Might be from sanding sidewalk and driveway, and oilfill.

     

    Wish you the best with your mother and her care, mine had last stroke @ 90 and remained until 92-3?

     

    Her room was very dry, humidifying (sp) seemed to help.

     

    Need wood it’s gonna be brisk temp’s expected to plummet to negatives.

     

    @catwoman500

     

    Is your trouble viewing photos or posting, keep question ez and I’ll try to assist. Windows 10, or iphone, Android should all be same.

     

    In reply/post, click picture of camera, navigate to photo on your hard drive or memory on phone, click picture, add name(optional) and click done by scrolling up, then click done.

    Camden, ME

     Only issue, might be direction or orientation of picture may change if posted from smartphone(like this one).

    @Frozenoem... Trouble is with posting. Each time, I follow all of the things you wrote and it looks like the photo will be in the post, but when I click on the final "Post," the photo never appears in the post.

    For example, this will be a photo of a coffee cup:

    Bet it doesn't show up.

     

     

     

     

     

    Right now, before I click to post this, the photo is right here. N

    Dowload google chrome browser or upgrade to Edge.

     

    Internet Explorer needs a patch, too many operating systems preceded Windows 10. Like 7,8, and Xp and Vista.🤣

     

    There is a 0-day patch for a problem on INternet Explorer, susceptible to hacking.

     

    Beyond that you may need to update computer and java if still used on your machine.

     

    Beyond that have to keep porch keeper happy, and will try tomorrow with more.

     

    Tried pm didn’t happen for you.

    Frozenoem,

    I am sending you out supplies for your pup tomorrow. These will be winter items. The only cooling vests I have on this floor are large ones. I am thinking the others are in my attic. I had to place items up there do to the water leak I had. I do have xxl 🐕 coats, from Good 2Go,and a coat from Track & Tail, xxl. I will be sending out. I am still looking for the heated dog bed. I am hoping that isn't in the attic. See, the pull down stairs leading up to the attic need to be fixed. I apologize for the delay in sending out the pet supplies. Nancy
