Monday Just to show you how deceiving looks can be... The morning looks decidedly wintery... But the temperatures or anything but. At the moment it's 63° at 10:00 a.m. had the prognosticators or say it will get up into the mid to '70s by afternoon. They are also warning that…
Sunday https://youtu.be/mcUdxdbiyPc I've got it all to myself now Crack the window just a hair Dark and close, the way I like it Black tobacco chokes the air I keep to myself, I lack the language I measure out my life with coffee grounds The trees are the color of…

Thursday https://youtu.be/xtHVLR8JzeQ IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY It's a thing of bliss, Like a morning kiss; When the sun says hello to my heart. Takes me by the hand. And I understand, That the world is God's own work of art. ~Robert Nehls~ This morning dawned to a clearing sky. At…

Saturday Coffee Muses, Sept 2007 It's funny how an old fart like me can get set in his ways... For as long as I can remember my photo editing software foe most things has been Picasa. It was a free software from Google. Google abandoned it almost a decade ago.…

Tuesday https://youtu.be/M8wuTlvw-5E On this morning of a more moderate temperature, clouds are again part of the day's equation. Before dawn the full-ish moon was backlighting a generous scattering of cotton ball like clouds. The really nice thing about the clouds... they temper the over bright light flooding in thru the…
https://youtu.be/qk_2kbnetXI Pecan Tree and Winter Sky I pulled into the driveway this January afternoon and the blue of the sky... with bare branches silhouetted demanded a moment... reflection... Pease.
Monday https://youtu.be/qBb_XFutqjo Think of that surge of joy we feel, Upon seeing the magnificence Of which the sky is capable, As a sort of call and response: An echo and reminder Of the magnificent possibilities within us, Waiting to bloom forth and be seen. ~Diane Walker~ Overnight the weather gods…
Sunday https://youtu.be/YMlda_aPA1g Eliza Carthy I'm spending a lot of time in my music library these days. As songs process through the que I find myself wondering where I acquired them... Even what path led me to the artist... When I heard one of Eliza Carthy's songs start playing her voice…
Saturday https://youtu.be/CvglW3KNSsQ Years ago... Actually it was more like three decades ago... When I first moved from the warehouse floor into the front offices, I had an old stereo I brought in from the house to my office. I kept it playing all day long on the Houston Public Radio…
Friday https://youtu.be/7GSQKo-HTKU This morning dawned clear and cool... again. The day is sunny and destined to rise into the mid 70's.

Tuesday https://youtu.be/0VUThB3YTXA It's quite chill out this morning. Not Minnesota cold, just Texas chill. It goes well with the chili and beans I put together for supper last night. Leftovers will be had for lunch. The sunrise this morning was one of the most colorful that I've seen in a…
Monday https://youtu.be/TogpMApAscE Once again from summer to not... What a way to run a climate! This morning as the sun comes up the temperature is still dropping... so much so, that the sun is well up before the overnight low is reached. The wind out of the north has a…
Friday https://youtu.be/-DpqI0wuFQU For once it actually feels like it looks outside. The temperature is down around 40 degrees, the sky is totally overcast, and the wind chimes are singing a blustery song. It's a morning to curl up with a streaming fire on the television for virtual warmth... While native…
Thursday - Insurrection Day - 1st Anniversary https://youtu.be/3wNEMKjwftU It's another warm and foggy "winter" morning... I wandered out while the video was rendering and uploading and met my new neighbor. He seems like a nice enough guy. He was out trying to mow a break around his section of woods.…

Tuesday https://youtu.be/ccAEcr-bx28 I've gotten out of the habit of putting these posts out in the ether... But, today the kids are back in school, the house is empty, and Eric Clapton is playing on the computer... Also, finally the never-ending summerlike weather has broken for a few days. We even…

Today feels more like fall here than almost any other morning this season... Facebook reminded me about a post I put up here shortly after my "retirement". Here it is in it's entirety with a few changes in the images... December 21, 2008 Sherry and I were in the car…
Where, Oh Where Is Winter? https://youtu.be/lv5AiHa5bZM This week has been very wintery looking at least... Though, truth be told, it hasn't felt at all seasonable. Overcast skies... Winds... But, temperatures keep topping out in the 70's and 80's... Even today. with a weather change in the forecast, most of the…
It's A Misty, Rainy Monday https://youtu.be/-V916SIXYmc A pre-dawn rain shower started the day... Warmer than normal... The overnight low never reached 70...
