it is just nice to see snow falling

For this winter, we are in a nice band now...the ground is actually beginning to whiten, looks awesome outside

this winter has been so bad I am just enjoying my fire, my beer, the game, hearing the wind occasionally roar outside, and looking out the window to see the flurries turn on and off....pathetic, but that is where we are, so we take.

What I miss?
I awoke last Monday morning to blood gushing from my nose, chest pains, severe DVT throbbing in my legs, thought was buying the farm. Had to call 911 ...
Two clots in both legs, lung infection, heart pumping at 50% capacity. I'm back home after a week, another 1/2 dozen scripts. The bleeding had stopped but as soon as I get back home.
Momma I'm coming home! 

Good luck Don.

Snow in Walpole

started off much better than I anticipated

Can anyone recall a fall in SNE where leaf drop was done by Nov 5 like this year? I mean there’s one more minor cleanup and it’s over. Usually goes well into Tgiving . And it’s been a mild fall overall 

Same here....I keep a gardening journal for every year for what I do and when I do it...always mark the full leaf drop for my oak, it is always last...just looked at last year and noted it was pretty much done by 11/23, which is typical....they are pretty much gone now, this weekend will be my last leaf pick up, and it is not much...way ahead this year

Marvin Hagler would run on the beach in work boots with a rope around his waist dragging a tire.

Still mad that Marvin got robbed by the judges in that Sugar Ray Leonard fight. I was crushed by that decision.

Doing that today for first time with my older daughter . Don’t like it 

Good luck Kevin, did that with my son yesterday. He's our second child, so it was our second time, it was not any easier than the first. When it was time to say good bye I handle it like ripping off a band-aid...a handshake, a hug, a few words, and then turnaround and go. 

Much easier as a kid than a parent, the way it should be.

Beautiful day out here on Pt Judith. 

 

I love that spot....loved it even more when it was a hidden little gem.....wrote eulogies for both my mom and dad on that wall, both in the offseason of November long ago...no better place to think

Congrats E MA! 

I live about 3 miles from Norfolk, right down rt. 1A could hear the thunder and see the clouds...I had about .01. I didnt even look for final tally...not all of E MA cashed in on this one

At least some got some rain. Absolute rusty coat hanger shoved high and deep here.

That is how I am looking at it, Brett and his crew down in Taunton needed it a bit more than we did up here...at least somebody got something

Thunder is loud from all around us, but nothing here...as many have said, so frustrating, I got nothing to add

I would have to put the GM and coach who has won 6 Super Bowls into the competent category. Even if you think he "sucks and he blows" as GM, to paraphrase the sports radio show I never listen to, 6 wins as head coach should be enough to qualify.

We were down in FL for a week...93/75 every day with a heat index of 102....and when you wake up at 6 in the morning, still the heavy pale of humidity....you sweat just by walking....I am not complaining, that is the expectation in FL....but coming back here yesterday to these temps and lack of humidity, its not even close....this is so much better  

My college roommates son is serving his residency at MGH, he is from Tampa and got here about month ago. He texted today and says he loves this weather....

I'd like it about 5 degrees warmer, but I am not unhappy with these temps

If the Celtics don’t make it it’s because nobody had the balls to step up and closeline Draymond Green as he goes in for a layup. 

Kevin McHale isn't walking through the door, unfortunately.

He didn't even get kicked out of the game for that, he would be arrested and drawn and quartered on social media endlessly today. Ugh...

IDK Martha's Vineyard  Gay Head beach was a very sight full experience 

Steve may remember Moonstone Beach in South Kingston, RI. It was a nude beach till they closed the nude part of it the the late 80's; may even have become a bird sanctuary?  We would take our boat over from Narragansett and beach it right off Moonstone, and then walk the beach with clothes on. Probably did that 2 or 3 times, but even for teens, which we were, it got a bit strange.

I use a product called Wilt Proof on my Rhody's and boxwood every November, any of my evergreens that keep their leaves over the winter.....spray it on the leaves during the late fall and it helps keep them from the freeze-thaw-freeze and winds that tax them over the winter....I never get leaf damage over the winter on Rhody's or boxwood

 

Thanks, I’ll get some spikes and spike them all, I usually do that every year, but I’ll do it a bit earlier now.

And Hoth, you’re right, it is a boxwood. That’s my mistake

Seriously?  what the f is wrong with what I wrote about Mish, that set this shit into motion...

man

Your post was great, Tip......replies are not to your post, but to a prior, classless, morally vacant post. 

I really liked Mish, she was great.

Lost my brother to suicide 23 years ago, the feeling never leaves. If you are feeling suicidal, please get help. God bless her family, and those who struggle with this awful disease. 

Snowing nicely here again, steady light snow...quiet between about 11:30 - 1, otherwise been snowing petty (relatively) good all day
