It's Tuesday It's a beautiful fall morning. A pleasant 62° under faultless blue skies. Damn, it's about time... There are no fans needed on the front porch this morning. It actually feels quite nice. We're well into the second wave of hummingbirds. But I don't doubt that they will be…
It's Monday The still before the storm... Well, at least the steel before the front. It's warm out, they're reporting that it's 76° this morning. That's warm, really warm to start the day. Though the prognosticators are promising a fairly radical change overnight. Tomorrow's low is projected to be 63°.…
It's Friday As I was sitting here reading and contemplating the changing of the seasons this song came up in my rotation... https://youtu.be/xXBNlApwh0c Ever since I discovered Eva Cassidy I have been in love with her voice. But, truth be told it's not just her voice that's so special... there…
It's Thursday The morning is quieter. Our great migration of hummingbirds has migrated. No more battles royale all day long. Even the Cardinals seem a bit bemused by the absence. The morning traffic continues to become worse in front of the house. With all of the homes being built and…
Wordless Wednesday
It's Tuesday It's another late summer morning in Southeast Texas. A lite mist hugs the ground. Not a breeze is stirring... Except around the wings of the hummingbirds. And... On that note... I'll catch you on the other side.

Friday Finally... After weeks and weeks... We get more than a trace amount of rain. So far, coming up on noon, we're measuring just below 3/10 of an inch. And it's been slow, it's been steady, it's been just what we need... A soaking rain. I can only hope that…
Tuesday Oh my God I've missed her wit and insight every day since she has been absent from Texas. Back in the day I would print out every column and bind them into hardbound volumes that ran from birthday to birthday for the mother of a high school friend. They…

It's Wordless Wednesday
It's Tuesday Walking through the office this morning I spotted the Audubon calendar that came in the mail yesterday. I immediately had a memory flash. My Grandpa Sewell had one of those very large give me calendars that he got from the local grocer or the feed store hanging on…
It's Monday Well, once again, the rains that fell yesterday... Fell around us not on us. It's really becoming the story of the summer. Thunderstorms passing so close you can feel the mist in the air... But, little or no rain actually falls on our house. There was an afternoon…
It's Saturday After weeks of flirting and hooded eyes, Mother Nature finally graced us with a mere pittance of moisture in the form of a five minute shower. It's raining again now. But, as it has been for what seems like forever, the majority of the thunderstorms are brushing past…

It's Thursday If it wasn't so damn hot, it would be a beautiful day out here in Southeast Texas. But, with the temperature already pushing 90, it's definitely a day for inside activities. Just like yesterday, and the day before, and the day before that... Do you notice the brown…
It's Monday This time it's for real Linda... I was off to the doctor earlier today... Nothing wrong, just a regular follow-up. When I got back I was wandering around the internets... Somehow I stumbled upon a site called Cover Lay Down. They seem to have had their last post…
It's Saturday Not much to say today, other than... It's hot.
It's not much... But it is standing in the driveway... And you can hear it dripping... Dripping... Not a gully washer. Not cats and dogs. But it is rain.
