"The Weather Outside Is Frightful"

Brrrrrr!!! What happened!
On Monday we reached the 50's! Last evening we were in the high 40's at the 4 o'clock hour. Two hours later we were in the 20's! It is now, at 5:30 a.m., -2. But that is not the the real issue. It is the WIND! We are the "Windy City" and we are given reminders of this several times every season. The wind chill will be in the -30's today. It is bitterly cold. The wind plays havoc with visibility also! The snow outside of our home last night was going horizontal!

Watch this!!! Especially when the button is 1/3 of the way into the news piece featuring Dan Ponce` news spot.

My second story today involves a very cute rascal! Here he is:
King of The Jungle!

I had some errands to run but had only gotten about a mile away when I realized that I forgot something. I turned around. Two streets away from home my neighbors son, Tim was driving towards me and stopped to say hello... And that I left my front door open! Ahhh! It blew open! It does that when it is not closed properly. I started thinking of how far Hobbes could have gotten in the several minutes since I left. I knew he was right in the entrance hall when I left! As I drive up the little "hill", our home comes into view. There on the front porch, SITTING LIKE A LION OVERLOOKING HIS KINGDOM, is Hobbes. The Fearless king sees me coming and without hesitation he takes a dive for the open door!! (yes the door is STILL open.. there are two people home, inside, somewhere!!!) It was very funny!!!! He knew he should not be outside! The rascal. He did not leave his thrown slowly, he left it with lightening speed and kept going until he reached the top of the stairs, in his usual perch. As if to appear like he was there the whole time! heehhe. I am so glad that he did not want to get his feet wet in the flower beds around the porch!!!

ooo! I am working on a couple of necklaces and NEW chandeliers! I am planning on showing them on Friday :)
Bundle up my neighbors!!!
