Tuesday August 29th

It does not feel as pleasant out this morning as I expected. I’m not really sure exactly what the difference is.. The humidity is reasonable.. The temperature is not bad.. Even the dew point is reasonable.. and yet sitting on the front porch with the fan on didn’t have that edge of chill…

That got me to looking at the 10-day forecast…

And while I would appreciate a better chance of rain somewhere this week, I must admit I am liking where the dew points are headed. Add in the overnight lows being a bit cooler.. and even though the afternoon highs or still flirting with midsummer craziness.. I can almost feel myself saying ” winter is coming “.

I am working on one of my weirder breakfasts… I’m rendering some bacon bits and I’m going to fry an egg or two to add to some leftover fried rice. It’s one of my guilty pleasures…

One of my other guilty pleasures in the food category is something I learned to eat at my grandmother’s house. Potato soup and cornbread… It has to be my all-time favorite meal. All mushed up… Maybe with pinto beans added.. it’s my version of heaven. It’s also the dish I like to have on my birthday… Simple pleasures.

Playing on the computer at the moment.. and rolling through the playlist regularly the last day or two.. is some Alicia Keys. For some reason she and Emmylou Harris have been alternating since yesterday. The joys of randomized playlists!

Well.. I need to go check my bacon so I’ll wrap this up with this final thought… Y’all stay cool.. or try.. and I’ll catch y’all on the other side.
