Just before the rain started yesterday, clear blue sky! Much needed rain today and tomorrow before turning really cold next week. Suppose to be in the mid teens by Wednesday!
Enjoy your weekend!!

nice scoop handle! we had rain here the past few days but stayed above freezing, at least. and we needed the moisture, too. 🙂
Hi Tex, Our evening news showed rain and a cold front going thru Texas. Stay dry and warm! 🙂
we haven’t seen the sun in days—a thick blanket of fog and rain–but yes, making up for a deficit 🙂
hugs from the fog—
Julie
Hi Julie! Are you as glad as me that Florida State lost? Big hugs! 🙂
Heck yes! the “crimaloles” 🙂
and I was glad Alabama got beat—knock Saban off his pedestal. . .not that I’m an Urban Meyer fan—GO DUCKS 🙂
Yes, I was glad Alabama got beat too, Go Ducks!! 🙂 My buddy at the lumber mill today called me to let me know that he had a walnut log that was just cut on Friday that is 14 foot long, 10 to 16 inch diameter. I am going to look at it Monday with the intent to buy it if he doesn’t ask too much. I wanted to mention this because if you are interested in the rounds I could cut you a few. It would probably take 30- 45 days to dry them. Think about it.
Gorgeous ice cream scoop! I am so over this rain. What a miserable holiday break with all this rain, it is horrible not being able to send the boys outside to play!
thank you Gretchen! I know what you mean, stuck inside with 3 boys!! On days like this I would put up a small tent in the den and let the kids camp out and spend the day and night in the tent! 🙂
Beautiful engraving on the handle!
We’re getting rain all day today. Thankfully we were in the pocket that did *not* get freezing rain. We’re at 47 degrees presently. It will start getting colder tomorrow and by Wednesday we will have a high of 6 and a low of -7. I don’t even want to think what the wind chill will be! Eeek! Stay dry and warm! 🙂

Hi Lindy! thank you, I am now able to engrave small items. Oh no, -7 that’s just way too cold. We are suppose to be at 15 with a wind chill too. Stay dry and warm too! 🙂 Michael
Okay, young man. Kindly remind me of what “really cold” means to you southerners in your neck of the woods — or your ledge of the mountain…. I forget.
Hi Cynthia, in our area cold weather starts around 20 but we do have days in the single digits with wind chills below 0! I know it gets terribly cold were you are in Canada!! 🙂
Hard to believe it gets that cold so far south of here, but as you note, cold is relative. We get co-o-o-old up here!
Good afternoon Cynthia! Our elevation being that we live on a mountain tends to be a lot colder than in the city. The difference in elevation is about 2200 ft. I know you get really cold, I can remember being in Mississauga Canada in February on business and it was -40, white out and about 15 inches of snow on the ground. Thought I would never get to the hotel!! 🙂
Sorry about our cold and snow, Michael. I’m happy you escaped! Remind me now, please: are you North or South Carolina? Never having been to either, I get them mixed up.
p.s. I think Jan Karon, the author of the Mitford series, set some of her books on a mountainside in N. Carolina.
We are less than a 1/3 mile to the North Carolina line, as far North as you can possible live in South Carolina. We are extremely remote with over 400,000 acres forest all around us. We only have 3 neighbors and they live over a mile away. She did, that would be Caldwell County, Blowing Rock, NC. Not too far from us! Enjoy your week Cynthia! 🙂
Holy wow! I thought we lived in remote places, but my goodness, Michael. I’m betting you have many more wild animals than humans for neighbours.
What made you move to such a remote area?
We love it here, very secluded, private, quiet, peaceful, beautiful… when the kids graduated from college we moved here. We just wanted to live in the mountains and found this beautiful property, 30 acres surrounded by national park and built our home 4 years ago. We do have more wild animals than we do neighbors, bears, bobcats, panther, raccoons, etc..
Sounds idyllic, Michael. Really idyllic.
Well, OK – except for some of the wild animals. But then again wild animals can be easier to live with than wild humans!
It is a very special and peaceful place. All of our friends love to come visit and hang out at our house! 🙂
We’re getting snow here right now. We’re supposed to see our first below zero nights this week. Have a great weekend!
The news is saying that we are due to get snow next weekend, better snow than freezing rain or sleet! Below zero is too cold!
Prettiest ice cream scoop i’ve ever seen.
thank you Julie!! 🙂
Not much rain here in the summer, sadly because that’s when we need it. I’ll think of all you cold people today and make that will cool me off a bit.
I hope you get some rain Maureen! What is generally your temperature this time of year?
Raining since yesterday in NYC, almost 60 degree’s today and like you we will plummet into the 20’s and teens. Love the scoop that is inscribed. Have a great week.
Hi Suzanne! We had rain here again all day, 1.9 inches total. The temperature hung around 48 all day with fog and wind blowing from the northwest. The evening news shows that instead of mid to upper teens, they are saying 12 to 15 degrees. Have a wonderful week, stay warm!!
