Rumbling in Florida

I believe I have invented a new word this morning. Rumbling. What does it mean, you ask? Well, Trudy and Ernie came by yesterday with this beautiful 1929 Model A. Joanne and I went for a ride in the rumble seat. Resa's dictionary definition: rumbling (verb); riding in a rumble seat. How's that? Oh, and the weather update: It's warm but overcast here today and sunshine predicted for the rest of the week!

Ready for Bike Week!

Hi all. I made it here safely, the trip down was uneventful (always a good thing). It's sunny and 75 here today, the truck and trailer are washed (thanks Dad!) and the bike is unloaded. I spent the morning giving Mom's computer a once over and it is good to go again, although the dial-up speed is about enough to make me give up my Internet addiction (sigh). No pictures for today's blog, they take too long to upload! Bye for today :-)

Rake the Roof

Well, it's a sunny day here in Central, NY, and a balmy 24 degrees! Here are a few photos I took this morning. This one shows the front of my house, I wanted you to see where I raked the roof. It is a simple thing to do to prevent the ice from building up in the valleys and "raising the roof", yikes!

Can you tell which dog is Kobe?

And lastly, a beautiful winter scene of the neighbors house with the nice blue sky, the pretty white snow, and the cool temperatures, I bet you wish you were here!

A Dog's Story

Kobe loves the snow. Here he is standing in the path between our house and Winston's. Lou, the neighbor, snowblows a path so the two dogs can play.













Kobe heads into the snow to attempt his morning chores. He says "Are you going to watch me?"














Kobe says "It's tough finding a spot to go in all this snow, MOM!"

SNOW, SNOW, SNOW!

This is the view from my garage door towards the road when I arrived home from Cornell at 2pm today. Cornell officially closed today at 12:30pm, this is only the second time in the 22 years I have worked there! Yes, that is my garbage can, the snow is almost to the top of it now and the garbage is still there.












This is a picture showing the snow on my back deck! Yikes. The snow is very heavy too, tomorrow I will attempt to rake some of it off my roof and take more pics...













I snapped this photo as I was leaving Cornell at 1:30 today. It's beginning to look a lot like winter, wouldn't you say?

Happy Valentine's Day! Most folks in the area are getting a snow day. Here is my first picture this morning. It looks like about 7-8 inches fell overnight. It's not doing much right now but Chris, the weatherman, tells me to expect heavy snow today between 9am-3pm...
