frost warning

I hate cold weather!

So having frost this morning for the first time this Fall wasn't pleasant to see. No, not at all. Sure, compared to Prego's pictures of a snow filled Buffalo a few days ago this is nothing--but this is happening to ME! Brrrrrr.

The picture above was taken around 7:30am and shows the early light of dawn slowly warming the grass in my backyard. My knees weren't happy bending down that far in the cold. The picture below is of some Lamb's Ear that I have in a side garden. It doesn't like cold either and I suspect it'll all turn brown later today.

Cold, cold go away. Come back some other day--or better yet, stay in Buffalo!

We seem to be having a late start to the autumn here in the UK. There are still a lot of leaves around and temperatures up around 20degrees Centigrade, so its basically warm and sunny.

Not sure where you are in relation to Buffalo, but I'm a tad too close when winter weather starts to kick in. No snow here, but falling below freezing in the evenings.

By the way, Michelle sent me to say 'hello'. Nice site you got here!

I know! Stupid frost killed a bunch of my plants in my front garden...and here we are trying to sell our house! arg.

I guess that I have been using your comment link to get to your page, because when I used my blogroll link yesterday, the most recent post was from March! I was thoroughly confused, so thanks for commenting at my site so I could fix that link! :)

I agree! You know it's cold when your Husky shivers.

Maybe she's just spoiled...

We bought a warm sweater for our little pooch today. I am SOOOO not ready for the cold. I haven't even gotten out the warm woolies yet. As a matter of fact, I haven't truly unpacked from my trip to Maui yet. I'd better get on that! Have a great week.

The only reason I was happy with the frost this morning is so I can finally plant my 120 tulip bulbs!

You should stay in Singapore. It is hot all year round. I mean...really really hot.

We should exchange places. I cant stand the heat here:p

And yet - the cool weather is nice for yardwork. All that raking and seeding we did yesterday would have been unbearable in warmer weather.

Nice pics! You need to grab a book, a cup of tea and snuggle down to read! Nice pictures of hiking on Saturday, also!

It was 37 here this morning!

Nitroflex at home

Image
I mentioned a few days ago that I'd purchased off of Craig's List an exercise machine. A Nitroflex, to be more specific, for the grand sum of $75. The boxes you see to the left were bought by the seller as discontinued merchandise over a year ago and stored in his back yard storage shed. You might be able to see some of the bugs and such that had made their homes on these boxes. I left them out on my deck for a few days before opening them to allow the insects to leave gracefully or die in the sun. The picture to the left is the pieces from the box, unboxed, and up in one of my upstairs bedrooms. For the most part it wasn't difficult to move it around though two pieces were heavy and a number of them were kinda long and bulky to be wandering about the house with. Surprisingly, this kit didn't require any extra tools. There were two allen keys and one combo wrench included in the boxes and that was all it took to put it together. The whole thing only took about half an h...

ankle update

S ince a few people object to seeing my feet --poor misdirected souls--I have the two pictures below hidden behind links. Behold them at your own risk! *evil laugh* Actually they're not scary though the first one is a little colorful. T he first picture shows my ankle and foot from the side, as labeled. You can see a lot of general edema of the entire foot. There's also a good bit of discoloration of the ankle area and to a lesser degree the top of the foot all the way down to the toes. The side view is a lot worse in this regard than the top view. T he second picture shows the two feet from the top so you can compare the somewhat normal looking right foot to the injured left foot. There's not much abnormal color on this view but you can see the "sausage like" swelling of the left foot. It's this swelling that is causing my main problem--I can't get the foot into my boots and I need the boots to support the ankle. Damn Catch-22. Side view, looking inward ...

Ostrich poop found here

Image
I took these pictures last Fall while visiting the NC Zoo. On the left you can see what appears to be a nice polite ostrich just wandering around. This impression soon turns out to be false when her dowdy tail feathers raise up and reveal a puckered anus. Ewwww! If you look carefully, you can see that she's made a deposit on the ground. More ewwww! Feel free to click on the image to make them bigger. Details can make all the difference in these shots. In other matters, aren't those really bony legs they have? And couldn't they have a little more color?
