It's Thursday Today I just visited summer. I walked out our front door... I looked left and I looked right... Then I returned into the house of perpetual spring. With summer officially here this week, I am now entering my reverse hibernation. I've never really hidden from the cold, but…

It's Tuesday There are thunderstorms rolling around, pretty much isolated just over me. Then though the radar map shows there is lightning and thunder off to my east, I'm not hearing it right here. But the clouds are blocking the sun and making it just a bit more pleasant on…
It's Monday It was too warm, too humid, too still... Visiting the back porch this morning was a thing to do, but not a thing to drag out or to enjoy. The temperature at 78°, when added to the 93% humidity just doesn't invite you to sit and visit. So…
Dad was always full of stories. Any trip into his old home grounds of Wharton County would lead to side trips looking for this home place or that home place while he would tell about his family.
It's Friday It's another warm morning on the front porch. The temperature is 78° and the humidity is at 91%. So as I sit here the fan in the chair is blowing at medium. I'm sure not thrilled by the number of large trucks that feel like they have the…
It's Thursday Looking to the east there's a haze in the air. That's the humidity back this morning. According to the weather app, it's at 96%. Though happily, the temperature is only at 77°. After the last week, that's pretty amazing. There are definitely some happy crickets in the grass…
It's Wordless Wednesday
It's Tuesday There are heavy clouds to the east this morning. I'm sure they won't last. I'm sure they're not bringing any rain. I've been trying to post to my site since shortly after 8:00 a.m. . It's now 11:30 a.m. and due to intermittent outages with my web server,…
It's Monday It's a busy day today. I'm just now starting my first cup of muses... And I'm on the road soon. I have to have lab work done before my physical on Wednesday afternoon. And I have an appointment with my surgeon to follow-up on my surgery. So not…
It's Sunday And, it's still hot out. It looks like it's going to stay that way for the foreseeable future. So I'll be spending most of my time in the indoor environment in comfort...
It's Saturday Nothing more needs to be said...
It's Friday Hello... So says my granddaughters chalk art on the back porch when I walked out. She's been busy out there covering quite a bit of the porch with her chalk art. Though when I walked out I wasn't paying much attention to the ground beneath my feet. I…
It's Thursday I'm back out on the front porch. And really it's because on bright sunny mornings there's nothing like filling your viewscape with shade. So, with the temperature already at 79° and the humidity hovering way too high, I'll sit here and enjoy the fan blowing hard to put…

It's Tuesday Even though the sun's just up, the thermometer is already reading 79°. So, this muse will be short... I hear a red tail hawk calling in the edge of the woods. Other than that, it's pretty quiet out. Yes there are the normal Cardinals singing. And there's a…
Monday It's definitely summer. We're starting out the day at 76°. And the crickets and the cicadas are making sure that quietness doesn't intrude upon our morning. I pulled up the WordPress app this morning and it informed me that this is my 15th anniversary on WordPress. That original WordPress…
Sunday No images... Not many words... Just a video of a singer-songwriter I've never heard before that caught my ear playing from my music library... https://youtu.be/Shr47LVcA5I She is a favorite of my eldest daughter. Evidently I was given a couple of CDs back in the day and I ripped them…
Saturday Yesterday afternoon late I took a walk around my backyard. When I got to the back corner I decided to give you a view from the opposite point of view of my normal CoffeeMuses. So, The following images are what I saw. I hope you enjoy the change of…
Friday It's bright out this morning. The sun is shining on a freshly washed world. The showers that were predicted for yesterday evening actually showed up. They weren't large, the duration of the rain was fairly short, but, while it lasted it was fairly heavy. Though the sound and light…
Thursday I am out on the front porch this morning watching the world go by as the sun gets higher in the sky. It's a bit cooler out today, 74° and it feels a bit less humid. There's a red bird in the chaste tree. Now she's moved to the…

Tuesday It's a bit sticky out this morning. 79° and still. I'm on the front porch, and the traffic is lighter than I expected for a work day even though school is out. I have the floor fan blowing to provide a little bit of air movement. But, even with…
Monday, Memorial Day For all intents and purposes, this is the first day of my summer. No more alarms getting me up before the sun. For that matter no more alarms for school bus routes and waking the kids. It's just me and my internal clock deciding when to get…

Friday I find myself still sitting on the front porch after the buses have run. This will be my last morning bus run till fall. Today ends another school year, and the grandkids will be home for the summer. This morning has been a morning of train whistles, mockingbird songs…
Thursday It's a gorgeous, almost perfect, spring-like morning. The temperature is 62°. The skies are cloudless and blue. The birds are singing. And the sun is rising. It only takes a very little effort to tune out the outside world on a morning like today. But it does take effort.…

Tuesday It's overcast... Again. And though the temperature is about the same as yesterday, it doesn't have the feel of coolness that was in the air yesterday. Though, I must admit there is a sweet smell in the air... Probably from the mimosa that's blooming just off the porch. The…
