Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be, across the nation and across the world. It is just past 10:00 p.m. in "The City." The NWS has continued a Gale Warning from St. Joseph to Whitehall until approximately 11:00 p.m. tonight with 35 knot winds propelling waves up to 13 feet! Those waves should subside to four to seven feet by early tomorrow morning. 

My DTWS is displaying a current temperature of 39°, which corresponds with that of the NWS.  The winds out of the west blowing @ 20 mph make it feel more like 29°. The NWS is forecasting an overnight low-temperature of 37° with a projected high-temperature tomorrow of 45° and an overnight low-temperature of 41°. It looks like the threat of further precipitation has ended for a few days. 

The sun will rise tomorrow @ 8:04 a.m. and set later @ 5 :11 p.m.

With the winds blowing strongly here in GH today, I opted to only go outside in short bursts with STWD, while Mary and Ginger walked a longer distance. While they were out, our Senior Staff Photographer used our Smart Phone camera to take some pix of a recently used horse-drawn carriage being loaded for a trip back to the barn.

It must have been a cold and short ride for the bride and groom. 

I like how this shot of the sky came out with the buildings in the foreground. 

Earlier this afternoon while Mary and Ginger went walkabout, I went outside with STWD and at Mary's urging, I grabbed my camera and took some pix of the sky overhead.

During that on-line photo seminar I watched the other day, I learned more about the importance of a frame for shots. Here is the result of my efforts earlier today. 

Same shot and distance, but with less telephoto effect.

By late today, the sky had mostly cleared.

But the winds quickly moved in more clouds.

Also earlier today, I forwarded to Mary a recipe for a spaghetti squash casserole. Since we had a spaghetti squash on hand, I sliced it in half and then Mary took over and made a tasty sauce and homemade vegan Ricotta cheese using tofu. The end result was delicious and it is a new keeper.

This casserole was very tasty and words cannot describe how good it was for dinner.

Otherwise, I mostly spent my day reading from the biography of Lady Bird Johnson I've previously referenced, doing a crossword puzzle, and reading from the Adam Schiff book, Midnight in Washington, which we are sharing. Mary continued to cross-stitch and listen to her book along with that great dinner preparation. She is back at the cross-stitching and book listening downstairs right now.

Tomorrow I hope to read more and get out for a walkabout with STWD. I have to do the indoor chores too. Ciao.
