Sunday January 29th It's another spring-like day in Southeast Texas... Wet, temperate, breezy... Not what you would expect for the end of January. The temperature right now is 73°. It's already rained enough for water to be standing in all the low spots. And from the looks of the forecast,…
Saturday January 28th It was 60° this morning on the back porch. It's been raining lightly off and on. According to the prognosticators we can expect this weather pattern to last for most of the week. I saw something that I haven't seen in a while this morning. A round…
Friday January 27th Another frosty morning towards the end of January. The temperature this morning is in the upper thirties, but it'll be going up into the '60s by afternoon. This is only the second morning this winter that I can recall frost on the grass. Earlier this week I…
Thursday January 26th It was a frosty morn... Temperatures in the upper thirties. Sadly, I got involved in other things and almost forgot that I needed to post these photos... Have a great rest of your day. Catch you on the other side...
Wordless Wednesday January 25th
After the storm...
Tuesday January 24th It's cool, breezy, and wet already this morning. Though the temperature is almost 60°, there is a rather strong breeze blowing a fine misty rain... And the prognosticators are promising this is just the start of a blustery weather day... Some cold fronts come into Houston like…
Monday January 23rd When I woke up this morning My phone said the temperature was 43°... Now that the sun is up my phone says the temperature is 40°. Of course, the sky is cloudless.... The winds are calm... So I guess it's not surprising that the air temperature would…
Sunday January 22nd After 2 days of blahness, it's looking like it will be partly sunny today. It's a brisk 50° out. And after some type of rain falling most of the day yesterday, we ended up with right at one inch in the rain gauge. Our weather has the…
Saturday January 21st It's mid-afternoon, but, it's looked like this all day long. It's 53° right now... The same as it was at 7:00 a.m. this morning. There's been light rain falling off and on all day long. So far 3/4 of an inch has fallen. The look and the…
Friday January 20th It's a cool and breezy 57° this morning. And when I say breezy I mean the wind chimes are singing on the front porch. The wind chill made me get up and move rather quickly after the bus arrived. From the looks of things outside, it's going…
Thursday January 19th It's a cool 51°. The clouds have all blown away... Mostly. I've got many things to do today mostly on the road... So this little muse is already coming to an end. Y'all stay safe... Y'all stay healthy... And, you know the part where I say pray…
Wordless Wednesday January 18th
Tuesday January 17th It's not feeling much like winter this morning... 67° before the sun comes up... and as the world outside my window lights up... there's a bit of fog hanging around. I've always been impressed with how, around here anyway, when it looks the most like winter is…
Monday January 16th Why is it the best mornings for sitting in the rocker on the back porch or in the flat dab middle of winter? Today we're starting at 68°. With quite an overcast. The prognosticators are foretelling another slight cooldown about Wednesday. But even then we're talking lows…
Sunday January 15th I slept in this morning... Later than I have in a long time... The first comment out of the wife's mouth was " you must have needed it ". So I guess, I probably did. It's a pleasant 61° on the back porch this morning with the…
Saturday January 14th It's a chill 36° this morning on the back porch. And I won't be visiting long... I have some place to be this morning so this will be very very short... I'll catch y'all on the other side.
Friday January 13th The back porch is chilly this morning... 45° as the sun comes up. I know all of you in the Northern tier of states are grinning at that description. What with being used to negative temperatures at this time of year, a 45° low must seem positively…
Thursday, January 12th It's just a bit warm at 67° this morning. Yesterday, our high was pushing 80° again. Especially on the back porch in the sun... It might have even risen into the mid '80s there. But the prognosticators are promising a cool down. And if the north wind…

Tuesday, January 10th It's already 61 ° and there's a "Dense Fog Advisory" out there. Since it's still dark out I have no idea if it actually is foggy... As the world outside my window begins to lighten I see that the "Advisory" was correct. The world is shrouded in…
Monday, January 9th It's a pleasantly cool 52° on the back porch this morning. The winds are calm, not a breeze blowing. Just enough light clouds in the sky to add some color to the sunrise this morning... Here's a bit of ground fog hanging through the woods... The chickens…
Sunday, January 8th It was a wild and stormy night... Thunder and lightning... An inch of rain fell while we slept. This morning on the back porch it's cool and windy. The temperature is 57°, the wind out of the north is gusting to 20 mph. The clouds in the…
Saturday, January 7th It's the beginning of what the prognosticators are foretelling will be a wet weekend. As usual, we will have to wait and see what happens in the long run. Though at the moment it's a pleasant 62° out on the back porch. While reading yesterday, an old…
Friday, January 6th Good morning... It's a bit warmer this morning at 52°, but the humidity is up and that makes it feel cooler. On this anniversary of one of the darkest days in our countries recent history... It's good to see the Party that instigated the insurrection is still…
Thursday, January 5th It feels more like winter this morning, 45°... It's still, the sky is cloudless. It's even a little chilly inside the house because with our heat spell since Christmas I've not turned on the heat yet... Not that the house is cool down that much with all…
Wednesday, January 4th Wordless Wednesday
Tuesday, January 3rd Waiting for the cool down... In the past hour a line of wannabe showers blew thru on the leadup to cool front. Not much more than a heavy sprinkle, it just hinted at rain. Kinda like what we had pass thru yesterday afternoon. Well, winter break is…
Monday, January 2nd Another overcast start to a New Year's day. I am out on the back porch once again and the temperature this morning is a balmy 72°... Not a temperature many of us associate with the first of January. Especially not with the start of a day in…
