Every once in awhile you hear a song that stops you in your tracks. This song does it every time I hear it... every damn time! I'm not sure when Rodney Crowell first entered my awareness. I mean he has been bouncing around in there for decades... Hell he's been…
Tuesday, March 12th I can't recall whether this confluence of events has happened in the past or not. But having a week of spring break for the grandkids follow immediately after the spring time change is a bit strange... To be waking up without an alarm and 2 hours after…
I have an old playlist playing today... It's bringing up plenty of old memories... https://youtu.be/AaZD_r3zXGk?si=h1MB_whdjrp6kosl https://youtu.be/BPTOY8FrvNw?si=-O1GXSs0KAQTtMY- https://youtu.be/PTUkE3hj8i8?si=n1ScCZCJMTjSKcaG And the music keeps playing...
Monday, March 4th While I was standing on the front porch waiting for the second bus.. I noticed the predominance of the color green. Just a week or so ago, gray was the predominant color of my front yard. So I guess you could say spring snuck up on me.…
Wordless Wednesday, February 21st
Tuesday, February 20th It seems that one minute I could see forever.. but the next minute fog and settled in. The morning temperature wasn't bad.. 45°. Calm winds. But the more light outside, the foggier it looks. Though it is nice to hear the birds waking up and singing.
Sunday, February 18th The morning's temperature started out at 37°. The high today will approach 60°. The low overnight is forecast to reach 36°. That's pretty much a standard deep winter's day for southeast Texas. According to the prognosticators over at Space City Weather, this will probably be the last…

Wordless Wednesday, February 14th
Tuesday, February 13th Yesterday morning I stepped out to something I haven't seen in a few years... The starlings have returned. When I first stepped out the trees were full of black and the ground was covered. And of course, being starlings, it was the incessant chatter that filled the…
Monday, February 12th After four very warm humid days of overcast skies, the north winds overnight blew them clear. Yesterday at this time the temperature in the backyard was 70°. This morning it is 44°. Why is it that the days that look like the dead of winter are the…

Monday, February 5th With the winds blowing that close to 20 mph out of the north this morning, it was quite cool standing on the front porch. Well, it's finally here.. very last day I will spend in this lifetime in my 69th year.

Tuesday, January 30th Starting on the front porch at 6:30 a.m. . An ending on the front porch at 7:40 a.m.. With a couple of stops on the back porch in between...
Monday, January 29th It's a mostly cloudless sky.. and the sunshine on a chili morning is welcome. The temperature this morning is 37°. And we could use a few days of sunshine just to dry out a bit.
Sunday, January 28th
Saturday, January 27th The sun is still shining on the tops of the trees. And there are quite a few clouds blowing in from the north. So I think I will sit here for just a few more minutes and see what the real sunset will bring...
Well... We filled the rain gauge. And it was above 5 and 1/4 inches...
Friday, January 26th It's already 9:00 a.m., and my last cup of coffee is empty... And outside, fog still reins supreme. All of the water puddles in the front yard have drained away. It's a bit cool on this damp Friday morning. The temperature right now is 57°. In many…
Thursday, January 25th And.... That's pretty much all I have to say about the matter...
Monday, January 22nd Since yesterday morning, the temperature has risen slowly but surely. At the moment it's 54°. And it's raining.. lightly. According to the weather prognosticators, this is what our week will be... Such is winter on the Texas Gulf Coast.

Thursday, January 18th I really appreciate the "night sight" photo option on my Pixel. When you do it correctly, it really brings out the environment you can't see well. As you can see, it's foggy this morning. And the temperature is 48°. We'll get a day or two of this…
Wordless Wednesday, January 17th
It's really an uncommon sight here in my area to see ice sparkling on tree limbs in the sun. It's 10:45 and the sun is causing a virtual heat wave outdoors... The temperature has risen to a wonderful 25°.
Tuesday, January 16th Well, winter road in and decided to stay a bit. Yesterday wasn't supposed to be so cold. As it was, we didn't get above freezing all day long. And this morning it's a cold 19°. That's cold especially when you add the wind chill.. the "feels like"…
