Good Sunday morning, everyone!  To quote Mr. Rodgers, "It's a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood!!"  Willy, yep, we got narry a drop of rain last night.  We did have a good breeze, though, and they postponed the Derby Festival Balloon Glow for last night.  

Joe, thanks for putting the coffee on and making fresh juice.  

On the breakfast bar, you will find:  pancakes, sausages, scrambled eggs, fried taters, homemade biscuits, sausage gravy, turkey bacon, and there's some leftover pizza from last night, also.

Everyone have a beautiful morning, and I'll see ya out on the patio, watching the tracks.

CW - Taking a look at the radar for your area and some other forecasts, I would say that you're not going to get any rain this evening. The chance is there, but it looks really slim.

It was 80 degrees here in Omaha today. Highs in the upper 80s are expected tomorrow with 90s on Monday before things cool back into the 70s for Tuesday and beyond. If we hit 90 tomorrow and Monday, we'll break some record highs, so it will be interesting to see what happens.

Yes, Lance, the pizzas are now ready.  On the warmer bar, you will find:

1.  anchovie 
2.  Canadian bacon
3.  cheese 
4.  Hawaiian 
5.  goetta 
6.  pepperoni/mushroom/sausage 
7.  supreme 
8.  And apple and strawberry pizzas for dessert 

Decided I'd better get the menu posted, BEFORE the storms come in.  According to our local tv station's web weather site, we're in for thunderstorms from 6 to 9 p.m.  So we'll see how true that's going to be.

Enjoy your pizzas and take care!

 

And Lance, thanks for the two liters!!

.....It is a beautiful day here in central Indiana too....and is forecast to be very nice at least through Wednesday.  Warmer temps to go along with much sunshine.

This  will be another mowing day....Enjoy doing that when it's nice and sunny and everything is so pretty and Spring looking.....Must make nice straight rows to contribute making it all look nice.  Temps now 55.8 but it will gain much by this afternoon.

Good Saturday morning, everyone. 

Joe, thank you for fixing pancakes and sausage this morning.  That sounds really good, this morning!  Think I'll take two pancakes w/syrup, and two sausages.  Woke up on the hungry side this morning.  That doesn't happen too often with me.

Brian, you're so right:  it does look like it's going to be a beautiful day!  Here, we only have a 30% chance of rain for this afternoon.  So guess we had better enjoy it, before any rain does come in.  

Joe, hope the field does dry up enough for Matt's game today!!

Everyone take care, and have a great day!!

Good morning!

You know, I used to brag in my younger days about being able to eat my age in dollar-size (3-4") pancakes.  I think I finally gave up that goal when I hit 28.  I'll stick to four today.

Looks like it's going to be a GORGEOUS day here today, so I think I'll make myself scarce until late tonight.  TTYL...

Take some catfish and perch with corn and apple pie. I am hoping to get out to see a train or two this weekend. It has been a while since I have seen a train while driving less than 45 mph. Oh and I will make that rhubarb cake I promised everyone about two weeks ago. It will be ready for dinner tonight and I can pop it back in the oven tomorrow so it will be warm for lunch.

I will set up hammocks on the porch and in the yard so everyone can enjoy some sunshine(hopefully), a train and a few zzz's.

Mookie, hope you're back on kilter now.  Know how that is, when you wake up that way!  Just puts you off everything, doesn't it?

According to the Storm Prediction Center, there were tornadoes in Tennessee, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, and Colorado yesterday. Looks like the one in Tennessee did the most damage.

Today not shaping up to be quite as nice as I thought it would. A few showers and clouds have moved in. Still, we're already in the mid 50s, so it won't be too bad.

I agree with Brian: TGIF!

Tree - have the blahs and just a 1/2 a kilter off center this morning. 

I used to love to watch the local auction our PBS station had.  Even helped out one year by being a bid writer.  Got to be on tv and was blushing the whole time.  I haven't watched for a few years, but may have to check in again this year. 

Looks to be a good weekend for most of the diner people - except for maybe GA.  Need to stop now or I will be in Willy's territory!

We're damp this morning, but I don't think the possible thunderstorms developed here last night.  Shouldn't be bad for the weekend - sunny Sunday, which is good as the lawn is rapidly approaching its first mowing of the season....

Bearclaw and some orange-n-spice tea, then I'll sit a ways from Ms Mook until I decide if she's just not awake yet or in a less-than-desireable mood....

Time for our local PBS station's annual merchandise auction.  I don't usually buy much of anything, but I will be running camera several evenings.  It's usually an interesting night...

Good Friday morning, everyone!  TGIF!! 

Coffee is on, fresh juice is made and in the fridge, and heating water  for hot chocolate and hot tea.  

You will find an assortment of doughnuts, muffins, danish and bear claws on the counter this morning.  

Quentin, glad to hear you all didn't have any bad weather up your way.  Did hear on the news this morning, that a tornado(es) struck somewhere in Indiana.  I just didn't hear exactly where.    All we got was a few minutes of medium heavy rain, and that was it.  Five minutes later, the sun was out in full force, practically blinding you, it was so bright.

Everyone have a great morning, and take care!!

....In the last two days we received about 2" of rain here in central Indiana and really at our location, no rough stuff.  A good thing.  Had a few lines of weather working through Indiana this afternoon and early evening but they are just about all past us now.

Item:  Several weeks ago our local newspaper...{The StarPress}, had  an article of gas prices speaking of the upcoming Summer driving season....Oh, it would most likely not go above 2.67 a gal during the upcoming season...We'll today here in the area, and the Indy area, it already went to 2.99 a gal....Didn't take them long to get greedy.  Rose from 2.66 yesterday.  The prediction in the paper was baring any catastrophic happenings in the oil producing areas and it seems to be similar as the last few months.....But then they really don't need much of a reason to push it up higher for our Summer driving season upcoming.

PS:  Like the Bull Winkle avatar.
