I found these sweet, bedraggled birds at pixabay.com, a familiar name as it is my go-to place when I want to find a particular picture or graphic.
The last time we were at Green Spring Gardens was on October 1st, 2023. We were still wearing light clothing with short sleeves. It was a very different story last Friday. Our video will give you an idea of what the weather was like. It was cold! 50 degrees Fahrenheit which we would have thought would be good walking weather, but there was a biting wind that made it seem much colder.
So far this year we have had good days but also heavy rain with flood watches, wind and yesterday our first snow. We didn’t leave the house. The high was 30 degrees Fahrenheit, and the low tonight will be 27. Below it shows you what we are expecting for the next eight days. I just had a pop-up on my iPad. We are now under a winter advisory until 10.a.m. tomorrow. However, on Wednesday it is going to be sunny. We were told before that was going to be a snow day. Weather will always be unpredictable.
We like to take a short video on our outings. It’s fun to look at them years later. Next time I will share a few flowers and plants. Some were still blooming, though looking a bit worn out. A nice splash of color though considering the time of year.
I hope you are staying warm in your part of the world,
or if it is very hot, staying cool.
Fun video, stay warm!
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine, you too :)
DeleteOh my gosh, I love this video so much. You two are so adorable!! And I actually get to see you talking to me!! This has made my day.
ReplyDeleteThat's so sweet of you Ginny, thank you very much. So glad it made your day, you've certainly made mine :)
DeleteWonderful to see the video, keep warm as we are trying to keep cool.
ReplyDeleteHappy you enjoyed it Margaret, thank you! Stay cool :)
DeleteIt does look very brisk indeed. Great video.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sue, it's even colder now but when I think of hubby's relatives in North Dakota with it being -30 degrees F. with a strong wind, it's all relative :) and I try not to be such a namby-pamby.
DeleteI love your video. It made me smile.
ReplyDeleteThat's great, so glad it gave you a smile Ann. Your card certainly put a big smile on my face. Thank you :)
DeleteThese birds look like they are doing a marvel hero team there
ReplyDeleteThey do, don't they, and thank you for the smile Roentare :)
DeleteA warm scarf helps during a walk on these cold days. Take care, enjoy your day and the week ahead.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely needed a scarf Eileen :) Thank you and wishing you the same.
DeleteI will take your weather, Denise. It looks like we won’t get out of the teens here, until Sunday. I enjoyed your video. It even brought Bob into the living room from the kitchen. He asked me “who is that?” My response “friends from Virginia”. He said “they look cold”. Haha
ReplyDeleteThat conversation with Bob definitely gave me a chuckle. Thank you Linda :) The high is 36 degrees F. today, we have snow on the ground and more tomorrow. I saw your snow, more than us in that area also. Stay warm!
Deleteyou two were having fun even in cold and damp. the video is excellent. were you sitting down or standing and who was holding the camera or was it a cell phone. I want to know how you took such a great video...
ReplyDeleteThanks Sandra, we were sitting on one of the benches. I was holding the iPhone, which is what I always use for our videos. If it had gone on any longer I would have handed it over to Gregg.
DeleteFun video, Denise...It did look cold there!
ReplyDeletehugs
Donna
Thanks Donna, yes a wee bit cold :) Sending hugs!
DeleteCute video, it is sometimes fun to see and hear the writers behind the curtain!
ReplyDeleteI agree, I am usually happier behind the lens, not in front of it, but we do these for our son so he can look back at them in the years ahead. How I would have loved this technology in my parents day.
DeleteYou two are gorgeous :-)) And it looks really cold...it's pretty cold over here too, but with sun out, it ain't too bad.
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you Angie, you are so sweet. Thank you very much! :) I'm glad the sun gives you a bit of warmth on these cold days.
DeleteStay bundled up... it's cold out there. In Suffolk today it's foggy with rain coming in. And, I have to get out in that mess!! Dr. appt or I'd stay home.
ReplyDeleteI hope you didn't get too chilled going out Latane and that your doctor's appointment went well. You stay bundled up too :)
DeleteLet me say at the moment we would kill for 50 degrees. And I'm just delighted to see your faces and hear your voices! What a treat!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeanie, I know there were those in more frigid temperatures. My goodness, I definitely wouldn't have stepped out the door if it were that cold :) Glad you enjoyed our video, and you thought of it as a treat. Very sweet of you to say so :)
DeleteWe have some snow. A little frost.
ReplyDeleteLovely weather actually:)
But, I do long for spring.
Hello Hilly, I'm glad you are having lovely weather. At this point in the year I like the thought of seeing new buds that herald spring :)
DeleteSo much fun seeing and hearing you and your sweetheart, Denise! You both are darling and so sweet. Hope you are staying warm and cozy today as it is so cold!!!
ReplyDeleteI am very happy you enjoyed our video and your oh so warm comments, I thank you so much for them. Thank you Martha Ellen, I hope you are staying warm inside :)
DeleteHello…thank you so much for your comments on my blog. We are in the middle of a cold snap here in South Devon! Today, I think was the coldest day at minus 1 C. I think it’s due to warm up a little but it’s far too cold to do anything in the garden! It’s what I call, ‘ Casseroles and Soups’ time! Keep warm and snug, Denise! And a happy new year to you too. Sal 😁
ReplyDeleteHello Sal, you are very welcome. I enjoyed my visit to your blog. Oh my, that is cold! Hopefully by now it has warmed up for you all. Enjoy your casseroles and soups, ideal for this weather. I've been making several cold-weather meals lately :) You keep warm and snug and a happy new year to you also :)
DeleteThanks for sharing the video it was lovely to see you both, but for some reason I couldn't hear you ... my computer does seem to have a mind of its own sometimes!
ReplyDeleteStay warm and well.
All the best Jan
Hello Jan, so sorry you couldn't hear our video. I hope you were able to later. I know all about finicky computers lately :) You stay warm and well also, and definite wish you all the best.
DeleteI loved your video! You were brave to go out in that windy weather although you were well wrapped up. We had stormy weather last week. It can be changeable here in Yorkshire and we're still expecting snow. Take care you and Gregg.
ReplyDeleteVery happy you did Linda, thank you :) I always think about all the people who have to go out in this weather. It's a lot chillier since our video. When we first moved to Washington DC 45 plus years ago, there were a couple of years before moving on, I got a part-time job in Washington DC. I used to catch the bus every day for a long time, in the middle of winter. I thought the job would be a good way of getting used to my new home. The snow drifts were massive, but the roads were clear. At this stage of my life I am glad I no longer have to go out when the weather is bad. I would be in big trouble if I did as I was always falling on ice even back then. I have since found out about good-traction on my shoes but even so. You and Mr. P. stay warm out of the weather :)
DeleteThat was a sweet video, Denise & Gregg, and you certainly did look a bit chilly and windblown despite wearing a hooded jacket. We also have had a lot of windy days and about 3-inches of snow on Tuesday followed by temps in the teens and 20s so we will not be out walking for a while. My walking is indoors on the gym treadmill!
ReplyDeleteThank you Dorothy, sweet of you to say :) I have enjoyed your wintry photos. Stay warm and inside. Walking on the gym treadmill sounds like a great idea.
DeleteDelightful video. I keep a spare hat in the car so that I’m not caught without one. It has a brim too, so that I can shade my eyes when driving home in the sunshine. That winter sun is terribly bright and late afternoon and sunglasses are not enough.
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda :) The hat is a great idea! I am going to do that.
DeleteIt looks chilly.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly was :)
