Musings

You may have heard about this nasty storm system—2K miles plus wide. We’ve been hearing about it for at least a week, along with warnings to Prepare. I got these household must-haves on Tuesday. Tuesday, mind you. Yes, we’re Prepared.

Yesterday, I visited the drug store for non-groc items. I did not buy one of these. The coming storm is a rain-becoming-ice storm, so snow shovels not effective.

However, the storm coming after this one, yup, it may snow on us. Let’s get through this weekend first, though. I am not looking forward to it At All.

Light drama.

Temperature drama.

Prediction drama: tomorrow morning there may be snow SOUTH of us (uncharacteristically, that south part). The on-air meteorologist warned that Atlantans will have to drive on the order of three hours south to get into the (probable) snow zone. And, I’m betting it’ll all be melted by, perhaps, 3pm.

This houseplant perseveres, despite living outside for most of the summer. It is definitely inside tonight (and lately), as the temps will be wicked cold tonight.

Speaking of persevering, I was going to write about this yesterday, and forgot. My AppleWatch gives me a monthly goal, which changes every month, although the themes repeat. Often they require 14 days of doing something during the month, which means only weekends are not enough. This month, I have to get (earn in Apple-lingo) at least 96 “exercise minutes” on 14 days. Yesterday, I had 11, which is good for half the month. Today I have 12, so I’m well on my way to getting a fine symbolic Apple-attaboy.

We had an eerie defocused pre-dawn, then things cleared and I moved leaves around in sunshine. Now, the wind’s kicking up, and the first of two waves of cold-cold is coming in.

I looked at these roses and thought pretty!, as I enjoyed the ombré color graduation. Then, I looked closer and thought, ick!, as I realized they were past their prime and a bit withered.

That’s kinda like today, which began with light overcast that became heavier all day. Finally, rain began somewhere around 6pm initiating full murkiness.

Foggy, foggy this morning.

Sunny afternoon, although this Mahonia is on the shady side of a building.

Clear and cold, and getting colder through the day. Nice morning glow, no?

This morning we headed out on an errand and I noticed several houses had shrouded shrubs, mostly a white material, but sometimes black. A bit farther along, I noticed another black shroud, but it looked funny, so I looked closer, and discovered it was a covered motorcycle.

We’ve had lows below freezing recently, and we’re headed for highs in the 70s. Aside from the implications regarding climate change [huuuuge], I’m looking forward to it.

I was lucky today. We had rain off and on. Without planning, every time I went outside it wasn’t raining.
