Another hardwood floor experience.

Yesterday, the house where I tuned had hardwood that was painted gloss black. Now THAT really shows every speck of dust that falls to the floor!

Hmm. I bet it would look nicer in a room without a black floor...

Not bad so far, although yesterday the temp dropped 30 degrees in an hour and a 50 mph wind came up. Yikes! Blew my patio furniture all over the yard.

Today, though, is really beautiful. Sunny and 48, light breeze and clear blue skies. Very pretty.

We had the gale force winds and plummeting temps on Friday late into Saturday. They were part of the weather system that hammered Kentucky.

Yup, nice today, and the rest of the week will be amazing for December. Highs hovering around 60.

Just remember...this isn't typical for this time of year...but I'm happy for you because it gives you some time to adjust.....

I learned a new term today. "Tree Lawn"

We always called them parkways.

"Surf's up!!!" No sharks to worry about....

quote:
Strong winds on Lake Erie create waves up to eight feet tall that crash onto the beaches of Presque Isle State Park, located four miles west of Erie, Pa. Surfers flock to the park when the waves form, even if the temperature is below freezing and the wind chill is below zero.

“Lake surfers are not picky,” wrote Erie-based surfer Ryan Burke in an email. “We are stoked every day when the waves arrive. Waves are in low supply, and any chance we get, we surf!”

Presque Isle has been a popular surfing destination around Lake Erie for decades, bringing in wave riders from surrounding states. When waves are breaking, as many as 20 people can be surfing on the sandy peninsula throughout the day.

With colder air moving in, surf season is underway. But surfers have a limited amount of time before ice freezes on the lake.

“October through January is surf season on Lake Erie,” Burke wrote. “Colder air brings stronger and more frequent winds making surfing three to four days a week available.”
