@Wan: Love your pond! Hope you're now enjoying spring weather with NO MORE SNOW!!!@Jlyates: The blooms sound gorgeous! Gotta love spring!
Yay Spring! I miss having a garden. Thanks for sharing yours.
Jlyates, I love yellow roses, too. Of course, yellow is my favorite color. I think my parents programmed me from infancy. LOL. I have a picture of me in a pretty basinet with lacy decorations all in yellow.
I live in Munford, TN (45min from Memphis). It is currently 1:46 pm (central time), it is summer and the temp is 90. With a 56% humidity!!!
I spy with my little eye ... grass, trees, and sidewalks.
I live in Austin, TX (in the Hill Country)Currently 4:24 pm (central time)
Summer and 101 F.
I see my back porch, and the area where my youngest grandson plays. Large crepe myrtle tree, not blooming yet.
What colour crepe myrtle Cindy?
Lots of hot places! We're having a cool summer so far...knock on wood...
White crepe myrtle - but it is a HUGE one! It was already here when I bought the house, almost 15 years ago!
Lovely Cindy, love the bark on those as well. My fav would have to be the really, really, dark pink ones.I've got a small mauve one that just came up in a pot of something else, transplanted it and its going fine.
I wish this was a different color - but it's huge and gives us a lot of shade, so I'm not complaining!Yes - the bark is lovely. So smooth! Doesn't make for good climbing trees, but Logan manages somehow!
I'm in Glasgow, Scotland1.It's 9pm here and it's 18 degrees here (warm for Scotland!)
2. ISpy with my little eye a very quiet street, a little too quiet if you ask me!
I've always wanted to go to Scotland. Maybe one day ....
Daiwa-cho, near Hiroshima city, Japan8:44 AM, 68 F, Summer
I spy.....forested hills and cloudy skies. It looks like it'll probably rain on us again today. But that's ok because everything is incredibly green. There are kiwi and fig trees beside a lot of the faculty houses. The houses are white with bright red roofs. The students are out working on the grounds and making noise. :)
Katee, it sounds lovely. Judithe is in Shikoku and Steph is in Okinawa so you're not alone in Japan :)
Whoohooo! Another in Japan! Lucky, cool day for you! It's not meltingly hot here in Tokushima, but close!
Ok, I am in Western North Carolina at an elevation around 3,000 feet (maybe 2500 since I live in the valley)It is currently 11:35pm EST and the temperature is 73 degrees. Still summer technically but I can feel Fall coming :)
I spy...well I can't really see much out my window right now, it is mostly trees and a slice of the sky...but if I was looking for real (instead of just craning my neck under the black out curtain) I would see a very full moon and some mountains :)
Judithe wrote: "Whoohooo! Another in Japan! Lucky, cool day for you! It's not meltingly hot here in Tokushima, but close!"Yeah, it's looking like a few day respite from the heat. But at least I can hate the humidity a little less when I look out and see all the green.
Nice to 'meet' you Judithe!
Nice to meet you back, Katee! Have been over soooo close to you a few times~all for baseball tournaments~so happy/sad that is winding to a close (the boy is "graduating" from the team).
Hi Ellese & Edel *waves* You think of mountains & coolness & Ireland and rain, they just go together. LOL.
Haha Hi Sandra! and Edel :) *waves back* Lol yeah it is still scorching over here in the States but it rains everyday still :) Well almost...and I have a pool so technically I have webbed feet ;) lol jk Nice to see others who love the mountains!
Haha yes :) YOU SURF?! Good golly we would be best friends lol (although I wish I could surf in the first place...)I actually have a bit of a phobia when it comes to water I can't see...including the ocean. Just went on vacation to the beach and couldn't go past my waist lol, but I love to body surf :)
Edel wrote: "I love getting out in the water but am useless at surfing, but it's still fun to try, i can just about get on the board!! yea i've a total shark phobia which is silly being where i'm from we only g..."Haha that is still awesome! I need to get started on snowboarding. Now that I am finally allowed to go (college coaches frown on that kind of stuff ;)) I intend on having a good ole' time!
I played softball for a Division 1 University...they told me that if I hurt myself outside of softball in any way I would lose my scholarship O.o The bizzles...And yes! Since I live in mountains (and if global warming isn't too mean) then I get snow in the winter :)
Konnichiwa, Katee! Welcome, Edel & Ellese! :D
Edel wrote: "Ellese wrote: "I played softball for a Division 1 University...they told me that if I hurt myself outside of softball in any way I would lose my scholarship O.o The bizzles...And yes! Since I liv..."
Oh snap! Well the only way to go to college without paying for the rest of your life is to get a scholarship or grant, or be so damn poor that they pay for you! Haha and thanks Steph!! Sorry we are carrying on a convo up here haha
No worries. Happy ya'll have a made a GR connection. But .... if ya wanna create a chat thread in the member's section to carry on, my OCDemoness would be appreciative. ;)
No, no, no Edel! Steph just meant if you want to continue chatting there is a better place for it in the member's thread area. What you've got here is fine to stay ;)
Hello from White, Georgia!It is 11:30 am {EST}. The current temp is 76 and cloudy. We are waiting for more Hurricane Isaac rains to pass through, which means, no lawnwork for me!
I spy, with my little eye, a 52 year old woman still in her jammies who is about to start a new book :)
Love it Charlene, I'm 53 but the rest applies :DDDDDD
Edel wrote: "so sorry to offend steph, will make sure to clean up tread for you!!!"Oh, hun, you didn't offend me at all! Ya see, I have this wicked little(-ish) OCDemon on my back and she looooves things just so. The comment I made was in jest and not meant to upset. As I said, I'm very happy to see ya'll made a GR connection. :D

It's currently winter here but you wouldn't know by the temperature it's currently 60 degrees Fahrenheit out

Hi My name is Dee, I am 46 (will be 47 next month!) and I live in Surrey UK.It's 4.05pm Monday 4th Feb 2013 and it is cold as still winter. Currently 10C (50F)
I spy out my window - trees and houses down my road leading to the town's cricket green.
That sounds lovely Dee, just like on Escape to the Country :DI'm 5 mins from my local cricket ground but I bet yours is prettier ;)
Sandra wrote: "That sounds lovely Dee, just like on Escape to the Country :DI'm 5 mins from my local cricket ground but I bet yours is prettier ;)"
It doesn't look very pretty at the moment Sandra :(....It is very cold and wet out there at the moment. It all looks very drab as trees still bare so very little birds/wildlife.....
Some parts of England already have snow and they have promised it for us down south of the country and say it is coming tomorrow....The snow does make everything very pretty but not so much when it starts melting and becoming slush :(
Well, I can understand the slush being a problem, but at the moment I'd say our cricket grounds would be crunchy, it's been pretty hot here.
Sandra wrote: "it's been pretty hot here"Now you are making me jealous ;)...It really is quite grotty here!
Hot and sweaty isn't a good look either Dee. LOL.Humidity is thy enemy!!!
Sandra wrote: "Hot and sweaty isn't a good look either Dee. LOL.Humidity is thy enemey!!!"
We are never happy, are we? ha ha....Hope you don't melt too much and I will try not to break my teeth whilst I shiver ha ha!

Still in Sydney, AusThursday 9.44am Autumn 19.6C (67F)
I spy a beautiful sunny day with a slight breeze and lots of greenery in my garden.
It is 6:25 pm and it is still light out side (Yeah!), although it has been raining. Temp is 61 degrees and it is our normal out of control weather. The other day it was 87 degrees and the next morning we woke up to frost on the grass, Bummer :( My peach tree has jsut started to bloom, hope it didn't hurt it.
Outside my study, there is the climbing yellow rose bush (LOVE yellow roses). I can see my Japanese cherry tree, don't remember which one; have two different types, one blooms and as it loses its flowers the other one starts blooming. Across the yard and street are the neighbors, one has a redbud tree blooming. If I look out the study door I can see my kitchen window and see the branches of one of my trees, the roof of our storage building and the top of that neighbor's pine tree.
