Good morning to everyone on the Front Porch on this snow covered Tuesday 2019. We had our first snow fall late last night and early this morning which amounted to about 4" of very fluffy snow. It is projected to be mostly melted by sundown to night. The melted snow will be the needed moisture our 120 new flowering bulbs will need to get ready to bloom next Spring.

Hoping everyone has a great day today.

Can not wait for next Spring

Dave,

I know I need new glasses, but I can see the pictures . I did see snow, in the pictures. Great pictures ❣️ each and every one of them.

I do have a question for you anyone, who thinks they may be able to help me.

Here goes, over the past few days, tiny birds have been hitting my glasses window. There's no cats in the area, my windows are not to clean. Lol any ideas on how to make this stop. I am afraid my dogs are going to hurt the stunned birds.

Just raining here and maybe for days. I didn't forget about the boxes, I was in the hospital for a few days. New medication just didnot work out. So, I have to try another one. Also, I am trying to re home my 3 🐕. Working to get them placed before I have another surgery on Dec 6. Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying your day. I can't believe some of you have snow. Please stay safe and warm and dry.

@LaDolceVita

I've been there when I lived in cabin 1997-2000, my mother came to live with wife , 2 dogs and me.

For our sanity sometimes I had a CNA or Aide stay with mother when I needed to finish closing in cabin. Cutting firewood or chinking. Or doing the 7 hour trip down to check on sister (cancer), bro-in-law (dropped 40feet from staging to concrete), etc. And their daughters.He lived , sister didn't.

Medicare/Medicaid/insurance does/did cover Visiting Nurses Association and Aides if you do have them where you live. And other options when you need to be 6 places at once.

Call around you may get find some respite. We certainly needed to.

And yes, after long days/nights, I'd still like to swing these hunks of glass , plastic and silicon against the nearest wall Come on retirement!

Happy Halloween to everyone on the Front Porch on this snowy Thursday 2019. It started snowing around 10:00 PM last night and is still snowing. We are on a record snowfall for the month of October that was set in 1917. Hoping everyone has a Spooky day.

Good morning, Everybody!

What with the rain and cold and threat of snow, I guess by now we've all been chased inside from off our front porches. Every day here the weatherman takes to the TV screen with his broad, toothy grin all while gleefully predicting the next storm of rain or snow. Ugh! But alas, this is too be expected in winter even if we're supposed to be yet in Fall.

I had been waiting for a warmer and drier day to rake the leaves, but now I think I've missed my window as we've been warned that inches, not just a dusting, of snow is on it's way and may even be upon us. I won't know what is outside until I leave work in the next hour or so. Crossing my fingers, toes, and eyes that the weather-watcher, grinchy, forecaster proves untrue. I'm already jonesing for the rays and heat of summer and we all know that now is months away.

@DaveMcK I loved you colorful Halloween pics. But since......

Halloween is over and the goblins have all been pacified and satisfied with bags and pillowcases full of candies and treats, I guess the sellers of goods will now press us all toward the next big holiday--Thanksgiving and even onward to Christmas as I've seen how Home Depot has already fully decorated with Christmas items for sale. Every season and holiday it seems is pushed into the next. And while some people may say they can't wait, I just want to slow down a bit and just kinda mosey into my remaining days. Time seems to be going way too fast as it is. So I am more inclined to just ooze through my days as much as life and my own To Do List will let me. Smile.

@Frozenoem, I hope and pray you are set for winter with enough wood, supplies, and whatever other comforts you may need to get through. I hope sooner than later the doctors find out what ails you and can do something to help alleviate your discomforts. In the meantime, stay warm and dry.

@catwoman500, I loved your little cartoons. Funny! And would have loved to seen you in your skelton earrings. Although, honestly I probably would have thought you just a wee bit strange and only observed you from a distance off to the side.

@n566192l, I hope the solution given resolves your bomber bird situation before they crack a window. And @LaDolceVita I hope you can find a good respite for your momma so you can do a little R & R on you!

And as for me, I'll be winging my way home soon and when I get there, I intend to...
