I heard early this morning in the news that we might get some snow. I kept thinking to myself that I have to see it to believe it. And someone must have heard me complaint yesterday that Winter flew by and was kind enough to sprinkle some white snow in our area (whisper “not enough though, Lee won’t be able to test out her snowboarder.”)

But it is certainly enough for me to photograph the snow.
I bet you can’t guess what this is.
I was supposed to work in my garden today but it rained all day, then it snowed. We probably got about 1 inch of snow, I guess it is better than nothing.
Lee has been following the path of hurricane Irene and when the floor started to move on Tuesday afternoon, I glanced at my clock and it was 1:55pm and my chair started to rock back and forth. I thought to myself that it was too soon for it to be Irene, we are not expecting her until this Saturday.
I was at work when the earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 5.8 struck Tuesday in the Virginia and Washington DC area and sent shock waves up and down the East Coast and we felt the tremors in North Carolina. This is my first time experiencing an earthquake and it was a very strange feeling. It happened so fast and things were moving, one of my co-workers thought he was fainting. Another co-worker out in the plant was holding on to his machine because he thought it was moving. I’m sure it wasn’t funny at the time, but we all laughed about it afterward.

It has been 6 weeks since I started using my Ab Coaster and I finally added 10 pounds (4.54 kg) to each side last week, my GI Joe sister does 15 pounds on each side but I’m not sure if I want to increase that much. I gradually increase my workout and can do 1,000 each time now, a big jump from 300 when I first started out. I absolutely love it and my oldest sister finally made a purchase.
About the image, I need to work on my zoom effect technique, it’s a lot harder than I thought to make a still object appear moving.

My mom’s orchid has 4 blooms now, one for each week and the top stem has small buddings. This side table stand is an interesting piece, my dad has 2 sitting in the living room. My mom bought it from one of the furniture sales several years back, I also wanted one at the time but there were only 2 left and my mom got them.
