What a challenge - to take a photograph (or two) that shows the wind (and resulting chill) today. The morning started with a balmy 36 degrees, but the temperature has steadily dropped since then. As I write, the thermometer indicates that the temperature at the top of the screened porch is now 19. Wind has come from the west at a consistent 30+ mph with gusts around 50 mph (or maybe more). Great day to stay inside if you ask me.
I have managed a few accomplishments. For example, I decided that the resume format I have used for the past several months apparently is not working (or else the job offers would have been piling up in my mailbox, right?). For about a week I have been re-formatting in my mind and today I committed the changes and have sent out a few (via the electronic media - how else) as a test. While accomplishing this, the temperatures fell and the fire place was lit (and then turned off when the temperature neared 68). I decided to evaluate the outside and found the fish pond freezing around the edges. By tomorrow morning I predict a mere trickle from the fountain and the rest a frozen mass. I am not really ready for that side of winder (yet).
Then one more attempt at depicting the wind. I had to step outside, but found the perfect (in my mind) example of the current gale - the flag. For you who are not close to this location, I hope this gives you a real "feel" of the situation we faced today.
"The weather outside is frightful ..." is a refrain now coming through my mind. Time to get the decorations out and make Christmas come inside.
