  • Blue Skies, smilin' at me

     

     

     

    We had something here in Kentucky yesterday that we hadn't seen in months.

    Blue skies and white clouds!

    It was a beautimous day!

    Went home yesterday evening and fired up the grill, got out a package of Johnsonville Stadium Brats, and fixed burnt weenie samwiches on the deck for the first cookout of the year!

     

    A little reality check here. It's supposed to be 25 here this Sunday night, and they're calling for snow on Monday.

    Enjoy it while you can!

     

     

     

     

  • Spring's coming, and so's the river!

     

     

    Every spring, usually in late March and early April, the old Ohio River comes a'knockin at my back door.

    Flood stage here is 50' and she's at 52.6 right now.

    I've seen it at 62'6" and it was 6" from the bottom of my basement door, so this isn't too bad.

    It's supposed to crest this evening at about 54' and start going back down. Hasn't really been raining that much, this is all snowmelt runoff from up in Pa.

    Thanks, Beth!

    Least I won't have to worry about cutting the grass for awhile.

    First I'm gonna have to clean up all the mess left behind!

    Something tells me I won't be getting any help from my lovely neighbors!

     

    What the heck, that's why God invented beer. For such times as these, it is a solace!

     

     

     

     

  • EDIT-PPS 2010 And yet another clock!

     

     

    For Angi1972's Perfect Picture Search 2010 - Clocks and Horizons

     

    This one is in Catlettsburg, Ky. It stands at the center of this sleepy little river town, beside this tiny burg's one lone traffic light!

    The skies look a little different today. They're blue! It's been 62 days since we've seen blue skies and sunshine!

    Haven't seen a horse on the streets of Catlettsburg in ages, but if you decide to ride one in, we got a place to park him!

    Notice anything unusual about the clocks?

    Hint - the pics were all taken at the same time of day.

     

     

     

  • PPS 10 but not a clock

     

    For PPS 2010.

    It may not be a clock, but I like it!

    Altho, that may just be the fever induced delirium.
