We received a few inches of snow a week ago but the weather changed back to usually temperate days so its gone.  Its chilly but sunny today and will be in the 60's by weekend I read.  No more snow in the near forecast.

Would you two quite swearing. that is a bad word. I could say I hate snow. but that would be wrong, I just hate the cold that comes with it.

 

I would enjoy sitting by the fire. A real fire with wood that you have to start yourself.  with a nice snow coming down. as long as I don't have to go out in it.

 

I need to find a place were the weather is between 55-80 year round.

It's cold and damp. The sort of weather that makes me glad to have a blanket and a cat in my lap.

 

Hugs!

I like snow if you can cross-country ski on it.  However, the white crap that falls from the sky here seldom qualifies.  It's not that there isn't enough of it.  It is that the snow is wet, sticky stuff.  I'd even put up with the cold if it meant we could have nice dry mountain snow.  But it is always humid here.  Oh, well, I suspect my skiing days are over.

 

It has actually been a warmish fall.  It is 7 degrees C today.  Windy, though.  We had a storm yesterday, with lots of rain and high winds.  The remnant of one of those Greek-letter tropical cyclones, I think.  It is still a bit windy now.  But then, it always is here.  Our house is 1 km from the shore of the Bay of Fundy.

 

I have done everything in my power to prevent snow this year.  I brought out the snow shovels and stationed them at the front and back doors.  I put the roof rake in the woodshed, ready to prevent ice dams on the skylights.  I fired up the snowblower to make sure it starts okay.  And I put the winter tires on the car.  If that doesn't work, I don't know what will.

Well @KymmieL it stopped snowing and didn't stick so I guess I will just go in my studio and write a song.....

It snowed hear Monday night. This brings to mind winters at home up north. One of my favorite things was sitting in my living room with a fire in my stove (which had a glass window in the door), listening to some beautiful quiet music, and watching the snow falling in the forest behind my house. It made the forest feel enchanted!

 

Lots of love,

Timber Wolf?

Pretty much cold, wet and now we get frosts overnight, so my summer bedding is starting to blacken and will soon need pulling out and adding to the compost heap. Trouble is, it's COLD and WET and it's 'Orrible!

Cold. Wet. Winter weather advisory. My spouse is driving home from farther North today because her father... her ninety-year old blind, deaf, and barely ambulatory father... insists on living in the middle of the woods, alone.

I plan to spend as much of the day as possible wrapped up under a blanket with one or more cats.

 

Hugs!

It's just cold and over cast here today. Guess it'll be another day in pj's. I need the snow to hold off for another month. Aside from our move I have to repair/replace the fence around our new yard. Anyone know if there's a prayer to the Goddess for this?

I generally just ask the Spider Goddess with sincerity and love in my heart. She's very patient. You need to do the hand gestures though.

@ElizabethStar  My wife is a weather witch I will ask her. How do I know she is a weather witch? There was a huge storm coming our way when we married on December 12th and she had the storm go around us and it hit south and North of us.

Pretty much overcast and a bit cool - 59°F.  I guess that's something like 15° for the rest of the world.

I'm keeping a smoldering fire in the heater, just to keep the chill off.

 

I was raised in upstate NY, so I like to see a snow, maybe once a year - as long as it melts quickly.  I've lived in the south over 50 years now and am thoroughly spoiled.

It is another overcast day with some rain and about 41F. We have had the heat on for a bit now, so it is helping. I am kind of looking forward to snow in some ways coming up, probably because I don't have to drive to work this winter.

Amen to tele-jobs - easier to be yourself and smile and wear your jammy's

Link to comment

@Shay Can't say in the jammy's all day per the therapist, that is a mood driven behavior that leads to worsening depression for me. However, yes, I can dress and be self expressive all I want with the remote job, as I don't even have to be on video.

      Good Friday Morning    I will be spending a good portion of my day at church today.  I don’t know how any of my family would have been with me.  They all passed before I figured myself out.  I often think my mother and sister may have figured it out before I did but maybe it was just my depression that they saw.  I don’t know and never will.  My grandfather Young unconditionally loved me but he passed when I was 9.   Same with my wife’s parents, both gone before.  We’ve never had the greatest relationship with my wife’s brother but we do see them occasionally.  They words and actions aren’t always in sink when it comes to me.   Sour kraut or boil cabbage were never big even with my parents so that was something we were never expected to eat.  Nor was anything with mustard.  My mother hated mustard and it turns my stomach. My wife tried to sneak it into things early in our marriage but I could always tell.  She stopped after a while.   well I wave to go get ready to go to church.  I have a committee meeting at 10 and then we have a Good Friday Service at noon.   Willow

      Good morning everyone,   @KymmieLI hope you're misreading your bosses communications. As you say keep plugging a long. Don't give them signs that you're slow quitting, just to collect unemployment.   I have a few things to do business wise, and will be driving to the St. Louis, MO area for two family gatherings.   Have a great day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good morning everyone, TGIFF   It seems like I am the one keeping or shop from being the best. According to the boss. I don't know if my days are numbered or not. But anymore I am waiting for the axe to fall. Time will tell.   I keep plugging a long.   Kymmie

      What is relaxation to you? Nature? Movie? Reading? Cuddling with a pet? Music?

      Having just a normal emotional day.

      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.
