The final act of Christmas 2023 is just hours away … so much has happened over the past 12 months … More later…
Yesterday’s high temp at the local weather station was 59 degrees … Checking today’s forecast … Partly sunny, with a high near 58 degrees. Partly cloudy tonight with a low around 34. Saturday, sunny with a high near 63. Sunday (Church Day), perfect … Sunny with a high near 66.
Christmas Day, a chance of showers after 4 p.m. … Partly sunny with a high near 69 … 30% chance of rain … Possibility of precipitation increases to 70% Monday night and Tuesday.
Last minute shopping for Christmas fast approaching … Some look forward to last minute shopping … Some of us are not good last minute shoppers … Count me in that group…
Christmas and New Year’s are great stopping or starting places, depending on your own location in life … Maybe a good time to reassess where we are compared to where we want to be … Maybe just entering the work-force … Maybe retirement time … What’s next? Maybe we just need to postpone all tough decisions for a while…
Sunrise this December 22nd at 7:30 AM and sunset is at 4:40 PM … give or take a little. Today has one second more daylight than yesterday … Now that’s splitting hairs…
Last time there was snow on the ground in our area was 1989 … and that was in Fayetteville … 2 inches to be exact … Not sure how far east it extended … Yet we think of snow at Christmas time … Maybe that’s a wish … Not likely this Christmas…
Is life a little boring? Need a picker-upper?
