The last time I looked, I thought I was living in Maryland, a warm and friendly Mid-Atlantic State. Hit with an arctic blast today, the temperatures when I woke up was a blazing 2 degrees fahrenheit! That’s not including the wind chill factor that brought temperatures to the […]
Or rather..trying to do so. Today is a day to stay in and begin on my 2014 project. What project you might ask? To organize the gadzillion images I’ve captured the past three years and reorganize them. See, I’ve made a big mess of my files. Using both […]
A very cold morning with the car thermometer registering a balmy 8 degrees F. This Florida sun bunny has never been in single digit temperatures before. But having lived in Maryland for over ten years now, I have grown acclimated to the cold. That and a huge wardrobe […]
