Snow and Rain

December 16, 2024 at 8:53 am by Claudia

We had some snow overnight, which will turn to rain during the day today, so I suspect this won’t be here for very long. There was a freezing rain warning for this morning, so I changed my appointment to tomorrow. But, since I don’t have to drive it right now, I might just delay it until the end of the week. I’m avoiding stress, I guess.

Don had a gig yesterday afternoon, so in my usual fashion, I got through a whole list of chores. That always feels good. I also spent some quality time chatting on Facetime with my sister.

Right after I wrote about not reading very much at the moment, I got a message from the library saying the newest Michael Connelly was finally in. I’ve been waiting for months. Connelly is always a guaranteed great read. I’ve read everything he has ever written, and he’s written quite a lot of books. Anyway, it was a timely message and I’m ready to crack it open today.

That’s it my friends. We are looking forward to hunkering down inside the cottage on this messy weather day.

Stay safe.

Happy Monday.

    I put the new Michael Connelly book on hold at the library Oct. 2nd. I was 9th in place and now I am 4th. I will be enjoying it next year. Enjoyed your beautiful picture. We were in the 70s yesterday. Arizona is having a warm winter right now.

      We seem to be having a colder one than last year. At least so far.

      Stay safe, Olivia.

    I am glad you do not have to drive anywhere. I am most a afraid of other drivers during snowy/icy road conditions. They drive too fast and seem to think they can use their brakes as they would on dry roads. Mayhem!
    Take Care,
    Kaye

      Absolutely! I’d rather stay home.

      Stay safe, Kaye.

Welcome!

Welcome!

I live in a little cottage in the country with my husband. It's a sweet place, sheltered by old trees and surrounded by gardens. The inside is full of the things we love. I love to write, I love my camera, I love creating, I love gardening. My decorating style is eclectic; full of vintage and a bit of whimsy.

I've worked in the theater for more years than I can count. I'm currently a voice, speech, dialect and text coach freelancing on Broadway, off Broadway, and in regional theater.

Thanks for stopping by.
