Woke up this morning to find we are stuck between too cold fronts. The temperature is 61°. The skies are still cloudy and gray. At some point this month, I’d like to see some sunshine….

Another misty, overcast, warm spring like day. The birds are happy with the weather being so warm, it even sounds like spring. I can hear the chickens, or the roosters, cooing in their cages around…

This string of hazy, foggy, overcast and rainy days just doesn’t end. At least the spring like temperatures have stuck around with the clouds. I will admit that it does make for nice sleeping in…

Gloomy, overcast, wet days keep coming. The dead of winter, the middle of January, and yet the temperature outside would make for a nice spring morning. It’s already pushing 70°. Not what most people would…

Yesterday’s fog, that lingered all day, has carried over into the new morning. And it is a new morning, a morning for America, a morning for democracy once again. This blanket of fog, hanging low,…

It’s warmish but blustery. Birds are singing. Chickens are doing whatever it is chickens do when they talk to each other. There’s a bright orange glow to the east as the sun lights the bottoms…

Martin Luther King Day No school today, so I slept in. The sun is up, it’s bright outside, and the temperatures not as cool as yesterday. The prognosticators are promising a series of days that…

Slept in this morning. So it’s 48°, not too cold. Once again, no clouds. Our fox came by again last night. I guess it’s a good thing he was out that first morning… Otherwise I…

It’s 36° on the back porch this morning. But it’s sunny and bright and it’ll hit 60° before it starts back down. There’s not a cloud in the sky and the sun is brighter than…

It’s still cold out this morning, 38°, when I went to the bus stop this morning. The sky is clear. Flocks of birds are flying from tree to tree. Their noisy as they fly. I’ve…

I glanced out the back window this morning, and we had a visitor. There was a small fox licking up bird seed off the porch. I’ve caught glimpses of them before but never so out…

It’s another colder than normal, for Southeast Texas, morning in January. Once again the windshield wipers scraped ice this morning. It wasn’t as thick or as full as yesterday, but, there was some ice on…

It’s a chill 30° this morning out in the yard. Frost on the grass. Birds on the feeder. Birds on the wing from tree to tree. Cardinals singing the sun up. Took quite a few…

We just missed a winter wonderland yesterday. As I watched the weather unfold yesterday across the state of Texas I noticed the radar was showing freezing precipitation, snow, just to the north of us in…

It’s chilly outside today. And and blustery, the wind is blowing, rain is falling. We’re probably at about the warmest it’s going to be today as the cold front comes barreling in from New Mexico….

It’s rather late this morning, and though I’ve been up awhile my blog reader demanded more than the normal amount of attention… And then I began cooking breakfast. Bacon and eggs are done, so back…

It’s very chilly outside, it actually made it into the 30s last night. Driving back to the house this morning from taking the kids to the bus stop, there was frost on the shingles of…

I find myself still in shock after the attempted coup we saw in Washington yesterday. I cannot fathom the justifications Trump supporters may have for the actions of the insurrectionist who took over our capitol….

On a day when you would think it couldn’t get any worse… We have this barreling down upon us. Can we just name it Trump and impeach it?

The start of school for 2021 Up early, kids out to the road, waiting on buses in the fog. Both of the grandkids now headed for school for the first time since March 2020. Let’s…

It’s warmer this morning. I must say, if the mornings are any indication, 2021 is starting out much nicer than 2020 ended. I won’t hold out too much hope though… Republicans are still trying to…

It’s in the mid forties this morning… Sun shining in a cloudless sky… No breeze is blowing. The Christmas decorations are packed away in their storage containers. While both trees await their repacking for another…

It’s a bit chilly outside at 43°. Scattered clouds are keeping the sun from warming the world too quickly. I have just a couple of more days to enjoy sleeping in before the school year…

The first sunset of 2021… Not too shabby.

New Years Day 2021 What a difference a year makes… Even when it’s only been a day. I can feel the optimism in the air. The smell of truth is in the air… Well, almost…

Once again it’s 70° this morning. It’s very breezy. But the clouds that cover the sky, they are standing still. The chickens around the corner talking as chickens do. And the wind is whistling through…

It’s another unseasonable winter’s day. The temperature is a mild 70°. There’s just the slightest of breezes blowing on the back porch here. The wind chimes or tinkling their little music. The sun is finally…

Winding down on 2020… Thank God. It’s a beautiful almost spring like morning. There’s a breeze, temperature is cool. The wind chimes are chiming. And the chickens, they are clucking. There’s a bank of clouds…

Happy Birthday Breanna Out early on the back porch. It’s unseasonably nice. T-shirt weather… The sound of the morning seems to be the chickens waking up around the corner. https://youtu.be/kdi2EEfVOuA Large trucks seem to be…

The grass is brown, leaves have fallen, needles are brown on the cypress trees. I think winter is here. Just the temperature disagrees. It’s 62 degrees out already. The news isn’t promising coming out of…

Running late this morning. Setting up a new phone takes longer than I thought. I hope everyone’s Christmas was everything you expected. I think I’ll be back to the regularly scheduled programming tommorow. Y’all stay…

Christmas Day https://youtu.be/Hjdl8qM6toM Dawn on Christmas morning. Pigs in a blankets in the oven. Roast on the counter coming to room temp. Kids in bed still… so is Grandma. I’m going to be busy this…

Christmas Eve https://youtu.be/uUEwWB1qej0 The front that finally arrived last night around 9pm is still blowing hard outside. The temperatures plunged from a high of almost 80 yesterday to a low in the 30’s this morning….

It’s loud out this morning. Mostly the sound of chickens raising a fuss. It’s also very bright out. Sunshine like this makes it hard to sleep in even with the blinds down. It’s really mild…

Another cool and brilliant December morning. The winter solstice… autumns end and winters beginning. This is supposed to be the shortest day(light) day of the year. Today the sun will shine 10 hours and 15…

Well, it’s late and we’ve been sitting around talking on this brite Sunday morning. Fog settled in overnight and as it rises there’s a glare in the sky. It’s feels warmer today… though really it’s…

Today it’s raining. The temperature is in the sixties. We will bounce around with highs in the sixties till Wednesday then it’ll be highs in the fifties for awhile. For a change it will be…

Another cold and cloudy morning. Looking outside as I went through the morning routine it was unaccustomedly dark. When I stepped out on the porch it all became clear. Once again the sky looks more…

It’s a frosty, cold morning. As in, there’s frost on the grass. It’s still, no breeze is stirring… which evidently helped the temperature fall. It’s 31 degrees outside, 34 degrees on the porch. Did I…

Another prelude to winter. A reflection of winters long ago. Damp, cold, short dreary days followed by short dreary days. If this continues it will be a fitting end to the long and dreary year…

I spent my morning Coffee Muses in the parking lot at a UTMB on IH45 south of Houston. My daughter was having a test done and needed a driver. The weather is still pretty yucky……

Lines of thunderstorms have been moving thru all day long… just now another line blew thru… and it really did blow.

Laying abed this morning, the light coming in from around the blinds was fading as the minutes passed. Now I see why… by the time I arose, the rumbles of distant thunder were making themselves…

An overcast morning fallowing a rainy night. Not a lot of rain, but, rain none the less. At 9am it’s almost 70 degrees outside… so it’s shorts and a tshirt kind of day. The birds…

It’s a wonderfully mild morning on the back porch. A bit breezy, a little bit cool, with the promise of warmth later in the day. There’s an overcast that bodes well for a colorful sunrise……

I thought this morning would be a good day to look back on the progression of fall color this year… That sequence runs from mid November to today. My one living, breathing red tree. It’s…
