14 degrees here
thx for the offer louise, fortunately we have lots of trails right here in town for both. your walls are safe:) i have been thinking about the seat we tried to make for your plants and it has been bothering me - it is bothering me because it is out of scale - i will need to stop by and fix it this spring.
use to love to downhill ski
Today's Weather in Your Garden - 58
27°, windchill 16°, wind NW19mph, clear skies
January's usually the coldest month here.
Yes - usually the last week of January is the coldest part of the year on average. Similarly, the end of July is the hottest.
25° windy too cold to go out as far as I am concerned. UPS just left large 'iris' box from WA. It had traveled there from here. wonder what DD #2 put in it. she had told us that it was returning.
30° and flurrying off and on. Sometimes it's so hard it looks like fog. Heading out to irisMA's after work tomorrow.

Bill - explain more about why you think the bench is out of scale? Curious minds (Hank's) want to know. It is special to me just because you made it. But we'd love to have you come back in the spring, scale correction or not. LOL
Nice and cool down here. Hank even put the heat on yesterday! I wouldn't have gone that far, but we are both "feeling poorly" and he thought it was too cool in the house. I promptly turned it off this morning, donned gloves and went to the chilly river for a walk. Gotta shape up for flying solo with the puppies tomorrow morning while Hank goes golfing. Morning is their good sane time. Afternoon is a different scene, especially if one "tries" (and fails) taking both for a walk together. Not wise.
Was nice enough to walk over the dam today----I bring one dog at a time, Louise----I would be dragged who knows where by the 2 of them----they're never sane! The wind abated some, but not much----wish I could ski again, but having had a broken hip, I'm super cautious now.
18 now going up to 25.. burrr
10 °F going up to 25 today.
It was -2° right before sunrise. c-c-c-c-c-old!
18 here too. Cold!!
22°, windchill 4°, wind W 9mph
it was about 12 here this moring.
louise as for the bench - it sits up to high and the stones it sits on are to big for the bench - two things can be done - dig the holes deeper for the stones it sits on (and put some crushed stone a couple feet down so the stones do not tip from frost heaves) - or get a bigger slab over there and set the stones like i mentioned - i think a bigger slab (wider and slightly longer) is the way to go - if we did that we might be able to sit the second slab right on the first one and it would work out nice. you have plenty of slabs to work with there
Given the slight difference in height between Louise and Hank, I suggest his and hers benches!
funny - it is actually for potted plants
It is up to 25 here now---lovely if you're a polar bear---but it's just about time to hit the trail with the dogs.
21 °F here, waiting for the snow to come, it's in inevitable.
Actually, Bill, I like the idea that someone visiting me at Cuppatea can sit on the bench. I have only my one red antique rocker out on its porch, and I wanted a place for someone else visiting to sit. Your bench is perfect for that!
i am glad you like it as is:) when are you back so we can make it perfect? :)
24 going up to 38
23 degrees here, still dark so I don't know if it's cloudy or not
Merrry Christmas Eve everybody!
28°, windchill 12°, wind N 11mph, clear skies
in the 20s supposed to get warmer with rain late tomorrow. Jumper 2 & family arrived safely. Merry Christmas everyone.
Good morning all! 32 and clear here.
First day in a while over freezing. Should get to around 40º. Temp at present is 34º. Light wind, partly to mostly cloudy. Rain for the weekend maybe mixing with a little sleet/snow.
I'm better at dragging than I though I was. Thank you for the fun & Merry Christmas..
it warmed up enough to put a few ornaments outside lol
It was 40 here today, sunny & lovely---thanks for the card! Merry Christmas, friends!
Merry Christmas everybody!
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!!!
30 now going to 39 ... we have a freezing rain advisory for this evening... UGH
Merry Christmas!!
It's 27 here, but we are projected to reach 34 today. The first time we have been ABOVE the freezing mark in almost 10 days!!!! It truely is Christmas!!!!!! ^_^
Merry Christmas, all! 32 - same warning here for tonight. Guests will not be happy about that.
Partly cloudy, 35º. Mostly cloudy later this afternoon. Freezing drizzle this evening and a chance of freezing drizzle mixing with snow after midnight. The usual wintery mix, as they say, tomorrow turning to mostly rain on Sunday with temps near 50º. Temp drops again early next week and the whole mixed mess continues. Yuck.
Hope everyone is having a great day. I figure at least a 5 pound gain by the time it is over. Merry Christmas all!
29 here - merry christmas
37°, windchill 35°, wind NE 5mph, overcast
Merry Christmas to all. It is 36° here. Jumper 2 has just shown me how to use the roller on my mouse. So a present is more learning. So much to learn & roast is in the oven.
it ended up not being so bad last night... 37 now going up to 42 but heavy rain today
