Kid Pictures

It always does my heart good to see pictures of the wee ones. These are compliments of their Mama's. I snipped them from facebook. Love that snipping tool!

I'd say yes.

In my reading I have learned that we are in a water recycling process.  We have the global warming to melt a lot of ice, and then we will head into a mini ice age to refreeze the ice, but in the process we recycle the water.  It's a normal process, perhaps sped up by humans, but not caused by humans.  

Also, we are having a wonderful winter, but will have consequences, probably lots of insects and a drought this summer.  You are having a cool, wet winter, but Europe is in a deep freeze.  The last I heard they had a death toll of 200.

So, My take on it is that for the recycling to happen, there will be a change in different areas to redistribute the water and change things up.

That's how I see it.

Love, Teri

I want to pose a question…

We are having fabulous weather this winter…

You are having terrible weather this winter…

Do our two weather patterns have to be inverse in order for this to happen ???????????

Ask the Bloggers !!!!

Hot wet and humid

More rain...hmmmm must get past it. Woke up to a thunderstorm this morning about 4:00 AM. That was different. It wasn't scary but then perhaps that is just me. I have reached an age where not much does scare me.
I have finished about 3 bracelets this week and will start another today. These were all on my todo list as is the next one. So much for stockpiling. I still plan to stockpile a few...if it works out.
Tried a new recipe yesterday for lunch. It was good and very filling. I made half the recipe. I used almond milk instead of soy. I will make it again...for me.

Beautiful day today... I broke down and played golf. I didn't play too bad for 5 holes, and then it went south as they say. Butch did well but then he usually does. Tomorrow is Senior Olympic day for golf. The weather is supposed to be decent so we hope they do well. The competition is tough. There are many very good senior golfers in the Rio Grande Valley.
So when I play golf not much else takes place. Had lunch at Subway- waded through the afternoon crowd at
 H E B purchasing groceries. Brought them home, put them away. Caught a 10 minute nap and here we are!
Tomorrow should be a bit slower pace.

High Hopes

We have high hopes that the weather will take a turn for the better here soon. We have not had the best of it this year. Butch did get to play golf yesterday and we had a few hours of warmth and sunshine but this weather is nothing like we are used to and hope to get used to again. They are promising a few days of 80 degrees and warm sunshine mid week but then they are saying we will be getting more of what we have now and have had for a couple of weeks. Cloudy, Cool, Damp and ICKY!!  Always one to look on the bright side...we have not had wind and dust!!
Come on March!!! March is always nice weather here...or at least it has been.
I am getting a head start on laundry today and Butch is napping and spending hours on the computer....I think a golf tourney is starting later...maybe he has forgotten...You think??
