Tuesday My two colorful trees just before sunup this morning. I am continually amazed by the rapidity of the change in the colors on the red oak. Though, truth be told, the Bald Cypress is taking a decidedly reddish turn this fall. And, as the pictures in the previous post…
Fall Colors
November 28th
Monday Out before sunup, the light gives lie to the colors. At least, to the camera's eye.... but, I'll be the first to admit that fall color is coming on faster that I can ever recall... The first thing I noticed upon arising, was a text from Sherry telling me…

Saturday The rains have finally moved out after dropping almost 6" in 2 days. Had the fall color progression has started. Yesterday was the first time I spotted color over most of the oak tree. And today seems to be covering even more. The cold spell we had last week…

Friday It was just yesterday that I noticed the first few colored leaves on the oak tree. This morning the color is spreading. It looks like this will be a nicely colored late fall display. Also, the bald cypress is showing a bit more color. When you add in the…

Thanksgiving Thursday After the summer we've had, I feel I should be giving thanks for the rain we are having... But as much as I love slow and steady, 2 inches in 2 hours is a bit much! Of course, when you are expecting 20 people for dinner, and all…

Monday Ten days ago a cold front blew into Houston, and since that time the region has experienced weather that is typical for the dead of winter, not late fall. The city’s warmest temperature during that timespan has been just 61 degrees, with lows in the 30s and 40s. Houston…

Saturday It's a cool 49° and raining. My bald cypress is starting to get it's color on. But without any Chinese tallow trees around the area the fall colors haven't taken off yet. And since the first trees to be cleared whenever anyone clears land are the tallows, they are…

Friday It's an inauspicious morning.... My laptop just flashed the blue screen of death and is restarting. It's been doing that a lot here lately. What with all of the issues it seems to be having, it might be time to start thinking about a replacement. Anywho, back to our…

Thursday It really looks like winter out this morning... And it's pretty cool for a November morning. 43°... That's winter time temperatures on the southeast Texas coast.

Tuesday It's another gloomy winter like morning. Yesterday's rain totaled over an inch, but just barely. And today's overcast isn't doing much to warm the morning. Yesterday afternoon I spent some time on YouTube catching the Austin City Limits Festival acts. And that led me to a really nice rendition…

Monday Awake with the light of day just brightening the morn and the wind chimes on the front porch are having one hell of a conversation. Our little bit of winter has backed of for just one day with a almost fall like morning... for just a day! The prognosticators…

Sunday We had our first overnight low in the 30's last night. Granted, it was only 39 degrees... But you can feel it on the backporch this morning. At least the winds have died down today... It was cool enough that we even had a fire in the fireplace last…

Friday The Sounds of Silence Being in High School at the end of the 1960's was an interesting experience. It was made especially so by the introduction of team teaching in the 7th grade. Add into that the fact that my English class was taught by a couple of interesting…

Monday It's a warm, muggy, foggy start to a summer like week. The highs this week will be pushing into the mid '80s. The lows will only be closing in on 70°, not below. For most of the country this is summer like weather. Tomorrow is election day. If you…

Friday It's just a little bit humid on this pleasantly warm-ish fall morning. The end of another week. Waiting for another cool front. If this was June or July, it would be the start of a beautiful day... But, this is November. There is a pleasant breeze blowing as the…
