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…

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…

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…

Monday The calm before the storm... There is an overcast to the day... A heaviness hanging in the air... A portent of expectations blowing on the winds... A coastal low pressure system is helping to drive rain showers across the metro area this morning, and these will continue on and…
