What I Thought About Mother Nature

Main

(04-29-10) I think for those of you keeping score at home: Barn Swallows Trying to Nest On Our Front Porch 0, Ricky 3.

(05-03-09) I think I hate it when my Sunday afternoon nap is interrupted by tornado sirens. Katelyn is not fond of it either.

(08-24-08) I think if anyone ever needs it to rain, just give us a call and we'll plan to take Katelyn up to the pool. This has worked pretty well this summer.

(08-27-07) I think nothing makes a temperature in the mid 90s feel pleasant quite like a few weeks of 100+ degrees.

(03-23-07) I think certain phrases just don't go together very well, like "beautiful Spring afternoon on a Friday" and "getting a lot of work done".

(07-10-06) I think it has forgotten how to rain in Birmingham. My lawn hopes that it figures it out soon.

(07-17-04) I think the turf wars going on between the hummingbirds in our backyard are fairly amusing.

(04-16-04) I think few things put me in a better mood than a weather forecast for a sunny Saturday with a high in the low '80s.

(01-02-04) I think it's really weird when it's significantly warmer when you're taking down your Christmas decorations than it was when you put them up.

(11-03-03) I think there is something inherently wrong with this picture: Yesterday, I had a picnic for lunch...it was sunny and 85 degrees. Today, I used what is apparently called a "snow brush" to get an inch of snow off my rental car.

(10-31-03) I think if I wanted it to be 85 degrees on Halloween, I'd live in South Florida...

(08-02-03) I think Oklahoma City is really flat, and not nearly as big as I had pictured.

(07-21-03) I think this is about the time of year that I start looking forward to Fall, both for weather and football-related reasons.

(05-24-03) I think I had kind of forgotten about the whole sky being blue thing, until today.

(05-18-03) I think Noah would have felt right at home in Birmingham the last couple of weeks.

(03-03-03) I think that once my Weather Control Machine is up and running, we won't have 32 degree days in March anymore.

(02-10-03) I think we could just skip the rest of February and no one would really mind.

(01-23-03) I think you've got to love Birmingham weather. On Tuesday, the high was in the 60s. This morning on my way to work, there were snow flurries and a wind-chill factor of -17.

(10-30-02) I think I'm a little freaked out...there's this weird blue thing outside, and then this weird light everywhere....oh wait, I remember, that's the sky and the sun!

(Editor's Note: For those of you who don't live in Birmingham, it's been cloudy for like a month...)

(08-15-02) I think I know why it quit raining every afternoon like it had there for a few months. I have an umbrella with me at work now.

(12-05-01) I think 70 degrees is not my idea of December.

(04-24-01) I think it rains every Tuesday.

(04-09-01) I think that good ole Mother Nature forgot about the whole "spring" thing this year...

(04-05-01) I think I've forgotten what the sun looks like.
