Monday February 20th
It feels about as much like spring as it’s possible to feel in the latter third of February… The temperature on the back porch this morning is 62°. It’s overcast. And there’s a dampness in the air. Prognosticators have indicated that it will top 80° this week, starting today…
Bird song fills the air around us. A chorus of mixed voices. There’s even a percussion beat of backup warning beeps from the construction site around the corner.
As I was driving by the old Montessori School up the block yesterday I had to stop and snap a picture…
I also developed a bit of a cough over the weekend which had me digging into my stash of old cough drops. And something I’ve never noticed before is that the cough drop wrappers have inspirational messages printed on them… Go figure.
Well the cough is much better. And I’ve restocked my cough drop supply. And while it’s quite nice sitting out on the back porch in the rocker dressed in shorts and a tank top it just doesn’t feel proper… But that’s Southeast Texas and winter time.
I’m going to head back in now for another cup of coffee. Though it’s still too early for breakfast… I’ll catch y’all on the other side.
