For the past hour or so, the winds have been blowing VERY strong! The trees are bending in a general northbound direction and we could hear the windows making soft bumpy noises. The rains have poured the whole day and is raining now. The winds are freezing cold and I believe this month of March 2010 should be warmer by now. But for whatever reason, I think the moon is really TOO close; yet the clouds are blocking its view.

However, I was able to take a quick glimpse the moon prior to closing my blinds upstairs to my bedroom window, which faces “east”. The moon was to the “right” and shining bright! (I rhymed here again!). Earlier that evening, the rain clouds have mysteriously disappeared, enough so that the sunset cast its orange hue across the westward skies. The dark blue tinge of the skies were filled with some high altitude clouds, too!

I just came back from my mid-afternoon walk around the block at my “temp job from hell”.

Lo and behold there was a VERY long sylph starting from somewhere near the Altamont Pass up north to beyond the SJC airport down south! Another equally long but “fatter” sylph spread near the westward hills of the Bay Area. A third one seemed to have formed or is formed over the Mt. Hamilton hills to the east.

Lots of fluffy, puffy clouds of white could be seem over the misty, dark/blue hills west of the Bay Area. From the SJC airport, it’s nice.

This morning’s weather is nicer. The air is warmer, meaning I don’t need to wear my hand-knitted, acrylic hats by Maw. I could see some blue skies, meaning that yesterday’s cloudiness and late evening rain were symbolic “tears of gratitude” (or so I assume).

So today, I expect to enjoy walking around outdoors like a zombie because I only had five hours of sleep until awaken by the sounds coming from the hair dryer and upon which I jumped out of bed and offered to blow dry Maws damp hair. It’s easier for the old woman and faster for better results if I helped out.

Unlike the weekend of rain, today was beautiful but windy and freezing cold. There were lots of fluffy, puffy clouds of white, mostly over the horizon and sometimes overhead. Wispy sylphs were horizontal and perpendicular to Mt. Hamilton and somewhere south of my “temp job from hell”. I could hear only one crow cawing.

This morning is an overcast of light clouds. The winds are blowing hard, too! But it’s not freezing cold because I’m able to wear a hot-pink, acrylic sweater and a basic knitted cap by Maw, who pissed off this morning because I messed up the right side of blowing her hair. Oh, well!

Yesterday during my mid-afternoon walk, I overheard a wooden, clattering sound. It almost sounds mechanical as I looked up into the bare branches of the second tree. Then I walked farther towards the main street and away from the cul-de-sac and heard the clattering noise and looked up the first tree and saw a baby crow.

As I rounded the corner towards the right, I saw one “adult” crow among the freshly cut grass where my dandelions are growing profusely. I would assume that it was the parent of the baby crow crying for food up that tree. The air was blowing and freezing by that time.

Today is clear, blue skies but not as crispy as yesterday’s magnificent show of fluffy, puffy clouds of white everywhere! If you didn’t get a chance to see the outdoors or at least open the windows and look outside, the you missed the beauty that is weather. There are a few remaining poof clouds and some snow can still be seen on two places of Mt. Hamilton.

We were much slower and more forgetful this morning as the three of us ate breakfast slowly. I fed the parakeets very little for breakfast. And then their recent peculiar, high-pitched “tweets” indicated that they needed more food. I set up the usual four newspapers below to capture their poop; YeYo’s nestbox so she could chew the inside of the container out of stress and hopefully give us another parakeet chick in her old ages; and opened the doors located on the top and front so they could fly around and discharge their pent up energy from cabin-fever during their night time sleeps.

Then Paw decided to go shopping at the DeCA Commissary Store in Moffett Field, CA. You see one cannot enter through the gate and go shopping without a military sponsor, who must present their identification card. The driver, too, must present a valid driver’s license to pass through the main gates. The south gate off Ellis Street has since been closed of for almost three years.

After staying up until 3:00am, today’s weather is beautiful! Like yesterday, there were lots of fluffy, puffy clouds of white. Seriously they are here because I cannot go out there — call it agrophobia, call it inner sanctum. As a shut-in, there’s nothing like beauty in nature. The contrast between crispy, clear blue skies is amazing and the green foreground of greenery that is the white flowers of the fruit trees and pals. Now the clouds are covering my sunshine. As far as the eyes can see, there are clouds!

Today is beautiful! At around 10:40am, I went outdoors to walk around the building during my mid-morning break. I had to exercise my legs to get the circulation going and to get the heat back into my body because the air conditioner is turned on inside the building!

The skies are crispy, clear and blue. But I do not hear or see any birds.

Today is beautiful! There were lots of fluffy, puffy clouds of white; some gray-colored blocks of clouds; high-altitude popcorns marching in various arrays; horizontal arrays; and horizontal ones, too

The sunshine was shining brightly and the weather was cool but not warm enough for me but hot enough for Maw. Paw was his usual quiet self.

The boy came over and ate lunch and will find a new home for his old computer monitor at work. He took his tower back and will diagnos the problem and hopefully will retrieve useless documents. If not, he could wipe the hard drive clean for all I care.

For almost 24 hours, I’m still trying to restore my precious files: lots of old .jpg files from my camera; some videos and scanned items; and mostly documents of my weblog, online activites and other useless attachments. The rest are applications for updates and for hardware, such as my bulky printer/scanner and that’s about it.

Today, the fruit tree has white flowers. I noticed the flowers coming out of the trees at work since the beginning of the storm week earlier this month. I guess spring is on its way. The weather was so warm upstairs (partly because the heater was running) that I opened the windows to let in the freezing outdoors air.

I napped but couldn’t sleep in the mid-morning and mid-afternoon because of the actitivities of family noises and a surprise visit from someone downstairs.

After the boy left, Paw and I loaded up his trunk with two towers and one functional computer monitor. I made loud noises to hurry up the old timers even though it was around 1:30pm. I wanted to catch the time and the sunlight; so I don’t have to worry about driving in twilight or nightime.

So off we went to Best Buy in Milpitas, CA where we went to submit the remaining three computer items for an E-waste recycling. After I inquired with the guy at the lobby, Paw and I loaded the hefty, yellow-colored cart and the three of us proceeded to the Customer Service center where I filled out the date, name, address, city, state and zip code for participating in properly discarding our old computers

Hopefuly, the components will be recycled and the monitor will be donated to teachers and students. I was planning on hauling the items myself during lunch tomorrow to a place located just behind my “temp job from hell”. But since Paw’s remaining strength was available to assist, I took advantage of that opportunity and fine weather.

Then we tried looking for a webcam there but the selection was limited. Further, we found it at Fry’s and Maw got eight CDs of classical music. I recognized most of the titles but helped her select the more familiar tunes from Claire de Lune to Moonlighht Sonata.

It’s around 3:38pm and the sunshine is bright! The skies are crispy and blue with lots of fluffy, puffy clouds of white.

Earlier this morning from 11:30am, there was light rain. There was the smell of metallic rain in the air too.

At around 1:30pm, the rains fell some more en route from the restaurant to back via North 87.

So whatever is happening, I like rain watering the lands but a follow up with sunshine help to dry the critters, too.
