Now this is a pretty neat gift

My father is one of those people that has to know what the 5 day forecast for the weather is so he can plan the next five days.  Well I couldn’t believe it when I found a 5 day Wireless Weather Forecaster by Brookstone. That is absolutely the most perfect gift I can get for my father. It’s also something that hopefully no one else would think to get him.

One year I got him a scale model of an Indian Motorcycle like he used to have and my sister got him the same thing but it happened to be a different color thank goodness. Well I bet that won’t happen again this year.

This is where I wish I was

I wish I was sitting by the water somewhere in warm weather with a cocktail in my hand. I think that the endless cold weather and constant problems from the past few months have finally caught up with me. I am ready for summer and BBQ’s and relaxation. *sigh*

Lazy Sunday

Well today is going to be a lazy Sunday. I woke up with a head ache and just feel blah. I am going to take it easy and relax today. I am glad that the weather is good though, so the kids can get outside an play for a while. All the nasty weather has kept us all indoors and we have been getting a little claustrophobic from being forced to stay indoors. I wish I was feeling a little better, then I could take the kids to the park or something. Who knows, maybe I will feel a little better later and we can go do something, but I doubt it. Sigh…

Cleaning up the yard

Don’t ask me how so much garbage and stuff gets all over the yard, because I have no clue. I think a lot of it has been blown in by the wind. It has been really windy lately and I know that stuff have been flying about a lot. I also had a problem one day with a stray animal getting into the garbage, but we picked all of that up already. Oh well, I suppose it is good that the weather isn’t that bad today. A little breezy and over cast, but that is about it. The kids are already working on the yard now. That way we don’t have to mess with it this weekend. Yaay for me!

Holiday weather

Gosh there is some crazy holiday weather out there. I can see on the weather channel there is blizzards up north and tornadoes down south. We have been getting between rain and snow off and on today with no accumulation of course. The kids are not happy about that either. They want to play in the snow and that will not be possible. I am kind of hoping that we will have one good snow this year. God knows we haven’t had any for the last winter season. We barely got an inch last year. I am glad we aren’t getting that blizzard though.

Wow

Cold then hot, then cold and hot again. This is the weirdest weather for November/December we have ever had. I have been expecting colder weather and some snow by now and haven’t gotten any of the latter. I guess this means we won’t have a white Christmas this year. I really wish we could have one for a change. Ah well, it will come when it comes.

What a storm

I have been watching the news and the hurricane that is hitting the north east is going to be a real doozy. There is a cold front down from the arctic as well that will make some of the rain turn to snow. That doesn’t happen often during a hurricane. I feel sorry for all the people who will be without power afterwards. They are going to have problems with the cold weather. I hope my family will keep safe.

Such balmy weather

I cannot believe how balmy the weather has been. It is June and only 73 degrees outside. Unfortunately for me, I am stuck inside today working. I have so much to get done. I may play a little hooky later and do something with the kids. It is just too nice out to have them stuck indoors. Maybe I will take them to the park.

Kids

The kids are so happy that winter is almost over. The weather this week has been amazing and they have spent a lot of time outdoors. This weekend we are going to go hiking in the state park. We are finally able to get out of the house and are really excited about it. I think we will take the dog as well, because she absolutely loves the state park. We even have favorite trails we like to hike along. One goes along the river and when the water gets warmer, we will hike and then swim and then hike some more. I love spring.

Weather

I have discussed the weather before I am sure, but this is just annoying. Supposedly, it is going to snow this weekend, but they cannot say how much snow versus rain we will get. This winter has been so confusing that the weather people don’t know whether they are coming or going. I know that it must be driving them nuts, at least for our area. I cannot wait for spring, but I am not looking forward to the tornadoes and flooding…zzzz
