The tulips are blooming as the daytime temperatures rise, and the trees are continuing to show buds and leaves. #Tulip #Flowers #Spring2025 #Spring #Gardening #PlantBiology #Biology

Just a reminder to continue to pray for our neighbors in western NC. The temperatures have been very cold this past week; we have even had some snowfall, with more inches in the higher elevations, and some people out there are still homeless.

It’s Thermodynamic Thought; So we went on vacation for 3 weeks, and no sense of heating hot water so we took our morning showers, then water heater thermostat turned “down” to its coldest setting. The pilot light was still on but the water heater temperature setting was turned way down to where it will not come while we were gone. Then we washed dishes started dish washer, washed laundry in hot setting and did other cleaning using hot water faucets. Mid day, car loaded I checked the hot water temperature, it was barely Luke warm. Then to the car drove off. Fast forward return to the house 3 weeks later, the water was hot, scalding hot. How come Dad the water heater is off. Well did you ever heat water with a candle, I have only takes about 8 to 10 minutes for boiling hot water, right. A water heater pilot light is just like that candle and in three weeks you have a full tank of hot scalding hot water. Your paying the gas company for that pilot light so my point is if you go away for a length of time turn down the hot water thermostat and just let the pilot light slowly heat the water tank. Your welcome.

The rancorous rhetoric does not end. The left continues to promulgate it. How then, can we take as genuine, any call for "lowering the temperature"?

Well here we are, summer of 2024. In Las Vegas, Nevada we are seeing temperatures in excess of 120 degrees Fahrenheit. The whole southwest desert and coastal communities are experiencing excessive heat. Global Warning is the blame. Starting in late 60’s we were beat up that we had to add smog equipment to our cars causing a car that got 12 to 17 miles per gallon to no get 7 to 9 mpg. But that was not good enough. Instead of big powerful V8 engines we now have 3 cylinder turbo-charged engines in new Ford Broncos, which will only last 80k to 90k miles. And now the environment is truly sicker with excess heat and hurricanes everywhere. Through Flourescent and LED lightbulbs costing 10 times as much as incandescent light bulbs the cost to fix the environment has not worked. We don’t have government.

Spring has brought some beautiful blooms of flowers and trees to Virginia. The bees have been busy with their pollination activities, spreading grains of yellow pollen into the air. The rains and increasing temperatures are promoting more growth this April, and soon there will be lush gardens filled with more of the returning perennial plants and new annuals.

I experienced the Great American Eclipse under some clouds that rolled in, as is typical for astronomical events, during the moment of maximum eclipse. The birds stopped singing except for one squawking bird in a tall tree, the squirrels went home, the color of the ambient light changed from orange to blue as it would in the evening, the shadows on the ground became softer, the wind speed increased and the temperature cooled. It was eerily quiet for a few minutes before the normal activity returned with the unveiled sunlight; several sunspots were visible during this April 8th solar eclipse.

I really like fall. Not only do the temperatures cool down, but in my area of the state, the foliage is so beautiful! We can count on the leaves to change during the second week of October. It is mesmerizing to me...so soothing.

It's going to be a beautiful day today; sunshine throughout, low humidity, really a splendid September day. The afternoon temperature about 80 degrees, great weather for the primary election. Tonight, clear and cool, low 60 in Midtown. #NewYorkCity #NYC #WorldTradeCenter #WTC #TwinTowers #September11
