The stockings are unhung,The wreath is down from the door,Decorations have been removed from the treeand wrapped for another year's hibernation in the attic And once again, in anticipation of the New Year, Thunder and Lightning is moving thru our area...

And all through the house thunder is boomingWhile children sleep after overindulging on the day itself,Up on the housetop the sound of rain and hail can be heard...Luckily, Saint Nick has made it home from his eventful day...So... As I sit and enjoy the peace and quiet of the house,I'll…
Merry Christmas from Texas Y'all https://youtu.be/DWaS1rBC3QY?si=Kf3lBYVKU9T1l6Kt This was first recorded by Ernest Tubb in 1952. One of my father's favorite country artists, who I grew up hearing around our home... I really like this version by Michael Martin Murphey.
And this is why we call it fall.
At least a SE Texas white Christmas...

As the sun sets in the too warm December evening...
Between the winds and full color.

And the fan on the floor is all that makes the morning even a little bit cool.
The crews lined out street for most of the day. Then this happened... So for the past two hours we've been looking at this... Maybe we'll get power... Eventually...
A very interesting morning. Our power has been out all day. I really don't expect to see power for at least a day or two if not more. And my yard looks like it has been bombed. There's more tree damage than we had during Ike. But, we survived and…
Mimosa blossoms Chaste tree blooms almost open With temperatures rising above 80° each day, the start of summer is definitely here.
According to the weather prognosticators, most of today will look just like it does right now. Though, our run of 70° temperatures has pretty much come to an end for a while... And those overnight lows in the 50's.. we probably won't see another one of those before fall rolls…
