Rain…Did Someone Say Rain?

June 25th, 2009 · No Comments · Texas, just musings, weather, writing of place

These clouds are moving south just west of us this evening. We have already had an hour or more of heavy rain…All soaked in.
Nobody was anticipating this. The temperature after the rains moved through was registering 72°…Now back up at 76°. The lightning was amazing! The wind was blowing!
And for over an hour we had [...]

Monday Morning Backs Into Winter

April 6th, 2009 · No Comments · Nature, Photography, weather, writing of place

I woke up this morning to a blustery north wind driving temperatures into the 40’s. Tonight the weather prognosticators are predicting lows in the 30’s.

The real sign of spring though is the cardinals, you know…Red birds chasing other red birds out of their perceived territory. When the cardinals start enforcing [...]
