Out­side my win­dow … the sun is shin­ing brightly which is a delight­ful change from the heavy rains we received ear­lier in the week. I am look­ing at the beau­ti­ful flow­ers that are bloom­ing in my yard, includ­ing red roses. They are stun­ning. I am think­ing … about what a lovely day it is. The lawns, leaves on […]

Out­side my win­dow … light rain is com­ing down. It is only 35 degrees and there are reports of snow all over the region, although I have not yet seen any fall. I am think­ing … I wish I could build a fire, make some hot cocoa, light the Christ­mas tree, curl up with a book, and enjoy a cozy, lazy day […]

Out­side my win­dow … the sun is shin­ing, but it is only about 59 degrees and the fore­cast high tem­per­a­ture for today is only 82 degrees, a dis­tinct dif­fer­ence from the 108 degrees we endured just one week ago. I am think­ing … about the dis­cus­sion tak­ing place on tele­vi­sion at this moment about the res­ig­na­tion of […]

June 15, 2009

Out­side my win­dow … the sun shin­ing but there is a soft breeze and the tem­per­a­ture is very cool for June: 56 degrees. I am think­ing … about the very busy day that I have planned and wish­ing that I had fewer appoint­ments and meet­ings to attend. I am thank­ful for … the sta­bil­ity and pre­dictabil­ity that characterizes […]

Out­side my win­dow … there is bright, hot morn­ing sun try­ing to break through the cur­tains. I am think­ing … about the fact that I have not writ­ten much in the past few weeks. It is not because there is noth­ing that I want to say. Rather, it is because I have so much on my mind and […]

Out­side my win­dow … the sun is just com­ing up and light is begin­ning to peek in around the draperies. I am think­ing … about how tired I feel because I feel asleep late and work up early.  At this rate, it might be a long day. I am thank­ful for … this cool, clear morn­ing and the […]

Out­side my win­dow … the sun is shin­ing, but the wind is blow­ing and it is only 47 degrees! The weather fore­caster says the tem­per­a­ture will not even reach 70 degrees, describ­ing our weather pat­terns as a “roller­coaster.” I am think­ing … about how cold it is in com­par­i­son to this time last week when […]

Out­side my win­dow… there is bright sun­shine stream­ing through the win­dow. I am think­ing … that I am less than thrilled that the tem­per­a­ture is going to soar to more than 90 degrees today. It is too early in the year and means that it might be a very long, hot sum­mer. I am thank­ful for … an air […]

Out­side my win­dow… there is a light breeze and the skies are clear. It is chilly this morn­ing, but the tem­per­a­ture is expected to rise to about 78 degrees. Rain is pre­dicted later in the week. I am think­ing … about a story on the local news last night about parish­ioners argu­ing over the lead­er­ship of their church. […]

Out­side my win­dow… the sky is a clear, cloud­less blue. There is no breeze. The air is crisp — 47 degrees. I am think­ing … about how warm it appears to be, but the cool air was a sur­prise when I stepped out­side. I am thank­ful for … the beau­ti­ful sun­shine cou­pled with the cool air because it is such […]
