Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

-This girl can dream

This really does look dreamlike – but, maybe in June! I’ll bring snacks.
In keeping with the squirrel theme!
belch.,,,. burp… pfff
-thinkin about those June snacks.
😜
The fox squirrels that visit my feeders are putting it away, but they sure don’t look like that.
rah,,
We have rock squirrels here – they are very destructive of automobile wiring and insulation etc, but don’t live in the trees and don’t bother the bird feeders.
They do burrow underground and can be a hazard for our burros.
It’s mice and chipmonks that are destructive around here. The Fox squirrels and red squirrels/Pinies are not destructive.
This looks like the chipmunks at the bottom of Pikes Peak. 🙂

We have cute little chipmunks, but it’s the rock squirrels that dig deep holes and tunnel systems- equids can step in them and break a leg! Life threatening. 😟
We’ve managed to trap dozens of them and relocate to a river/ dry wash a few miles away. Fortunately, they didn’t return.
This is what I’m seeing on two different browsers:
(Did you delete the image from postimage? )
No, GB
This just happens sometimes – have no idea why, and haven’t the knowledge or savvy to figure it out. 🤔
Ok.
My study looks like this . . . un no, not quite. Ok, not at all. Sigh.
😂😂😂🤣

I’d settle for a functional detached workshop “man cave” Garrison.
Mayhap one day.

Trying to avoid becoming hysterical about the potential for historical cold weather plunging through the Plains next week, but every model update just gets worse.
You do know it’s Winter?
Tell that to NOAA, the IPCC, and all those that create and make these weather models which consistently don’t show the cold coming until it becomes so obvious that they can’t avoid it. Joe Bastardi, using the old tried and true forecasting techniques, was telling people this was coming two weeks ago. There are people here that appreciate a heads up that they aren’t getting from other sources and when it comes I feel free to show that what he was saying and I was passing along from previous posts was correct.
Don’t like it? KMA!
I for one appreciate your updates Rah. I have 2 chickens that I have to keep alive during sub freezing temperatures . Looks like it could get down to-13 here. So into the heated greenhouse they’ll go.
Thank you very much 👍❤️
Just to make sure you understand the map. Those are temperature anomalies or IOW the amount below the average for time for a particular area. They are NOT the actual temperatures. So for example, if you live in the area of the panhandle of Texas the model shows the temperature will be 35 deg F below the average for that time.
Thanks for the explanation. I do have a weather station so I keep an eye on the barometer. My AccuWeather app helps but the station that reports the forecast is 30 miles away and not very accurate for my location. I just try to combine all the data I have and make educated guesses.
Our little businesses are affected by weather. I appreciate the heads up.
I like seeing around corners as much as possible for planning and control purposes.
Stay warm fellow vet and keep your updates coming.
PS: I eat dates whole when I need fructose fix. My wife thinks I’m a nut. 👊
At this reading, I cant believe four people gave that dumb comment by @chicago a thumbs up.
I’ve gotten the impression that are some posters here that feel that this forum should be limited to religious and cute animal subject matter.
lol……
I really like you, rah❣️
The pitfall on the open thread or presidential is when folks start feeling that they or their “group” own the thread or even the forum.
We’re all just single shareholders in a great forum with an outstanding and very tolerant host and administrators.
Each and every comment by anyone who chooses to post a comment should be judged on content alone and not who posted it.
That said some of us have long memories and have formed a picture of some of our posters character and place greater weight on some comments than others. Still it’s content and logic that matter.
Lastly it is extremely easy for miscommunication to occur.
Yes, I am talking to myself out loud. Have a great evening.
I appreciate and thank you for the updates, rah.
The stuff you post is WAAAaaay ahead of local weather, not to mention the forecast on the phone.
I’ve been telling other people about what you say is coming. At first they look doubtful. At first….
I recall a lot of years ago when I listened to Hannity on the way home from work, that Joe Bastardi would be on the show periodically.
The man was encyclopedic in his weather history knowledge.
He destroys the climate cult.
Thanks again for posting this stuff, it helps.
I too appreciate your weather updates. We will be sure to have extra wood close to the house. Have to keep both wood stoves going with that kind of cold.
Thank you all for your support. Be assured no smart ass will ever get me to change or leave this forum.
Try this weather site. Select “temp” on the right of the screen. The various models are selected at the lower right. The timeline is at the bottom. The ICON model doesn’t look the same there at all.
https://www.windy.com/?26.607,-81.951,5
Thank you but I already have access to all the models by being a premium member of Weatherbell.com
BTW the ICON model updates 4x a day and some others every couple hours. Further there can be a considerable difference between a single control model run and the ensemble. And finally, the models images I shared today along with his comments are from Dr. Ryan Maue who has a pHd in Meteorology.
The cold I can deal with, it’s icy/snowy highways and streets that freak me out.
Are you a southern gal? Fact is, as many road miles as I have behind me driving in such conditions down south is a far more hazardous adventure than doing so up north in general. Now I say “in general” because up north here it can be almost as hazardous when it is the first time there have been slick road conditions in the winter that the road crews can’t keep up with.
That first time up north it is like the more hard headed have to learn all over again how to drive in such conditions.
. . . but deliver us from the Evil One.

Sherry and I got a puzzle titled “Puppies pooping” and put it together.
Fun
fun
fun 🤩
This one?
&f=1&nofb=1&ipt=3b55a9db16a9368a6b17bb93587dcae56f7f6c53347fe5ade2f005172f451340&ipo=images
Yep, that’s the one. A fun puzzle. Not stupid difficult but not too easy either.
Matching the poop to the pup must have been something akin to a treasure hunt . 😝
I don’t remember having that much trouble.

Awwwwww! good doggie caring for those little kitties.
Isn’t that somethin 🫠
Can’t wait for President Trump to name names, entities and institutions who have enriched themselves by stealing from taxpayers. Not tired of WINNING. Everyday I read the news, I praise God for “shouting truth from the mountain top”, “our enemies ensnaring themselves in the traps they have laid for us”, “those who have dug holes for us to fall into will themselves fall
in and can’t get out”,” the stones they have rolled against us, will instead be rolled back on them,”, and also that JUSTICE will be done here on earth. In our country and all over the world. I am seeing and hearing answered prayers. Thank you God for encouraging your children who depend on you.

Can’t you just see the decorated cardboard collection box in your classroom as a kid?
We’d spend all evening signing these little Valentine cards and addressing the envelope – saving the very best cards for your very best friends. Good times!
I is 😍
I remember … it seemed magical —till 3rd grade.
💌Receiving a few anonymously was really special,
-but,
always wondered who they were from.
Probably was the nose picker bugger eater
or pants wetter😁
looks like my cardboard stacking cubes that i got from pottery barn several years ago ♥️
and are in my foyer right now, lol
Sweet!!!
Ima liking the sparkles and reflecting glass.
-Huh! Prince Frog.❣️
I knowd there was somethin peculiar about you noticing my posted frog decorated rooms . 😎
That is toadally awesome.
Local lost old CCC hiking trail I stumbled across a couple of years ago.

A visit to that place will result in deep contemplation and reflection for those capable of such a things. It is has become quite obvious that VP Vance is quite capable of that kind of thinking while someone like former VP Harris is not and never will be.
