Wordless Wednesday

It’s loud out on this frosty morning. Temperatures in the upper thirties with no breeze… the roar from the bypass is the loudest I’ve heard in awhile. I’ve gone into holiday mode here the last…

Some would call this a perfectly fine morning… I would place myself among them… except, I’m not of a mind to dress for the upper thirties today. So once again I’ll be spending this coffee…

It’s really brite out on the late morning muse. The day can’t decide whether to be overcast or clear. It’s clear to the west, overcast to the east. Sometime overnight it rained, as puddles still…

I slept in per my normal weekend schedule. Now I’ve been mesmerized by a train trip in the Swiss Alps in winter on YouTube. Here’s today’s look outside… Now… bacon’s on the stove and eggs…

It’s another chilly morning outside. So I’m sitting on the inside looking out. The sky is mostly clear. The leaves on the trees are still. The temperature is just north of the 40 degree mark….

When I first stepped out on the back porch this morning it was chilly and blustery… the wind chill was pushing the thirties. The overcast was so deep that the sun was doing little to…

‘Tis a frosty morn out this day. An appropriate way to start the final month of 2020. My weather app says it is 30 degrees outside and I believe it. All of my temperature sensors…

It’s chilly outside… so I’m musing indoors. It’s not the low temperature so much as the blustery north winds. Tomorrow is going to be even colder. It’s hard getting the grandkids moving after a week…

The sun was shinning thru the clouds with a squinting brightness when I walked out… now the clouds have closed back in and the glare is gone. A blustery north wind is cooling the morning….

It’s ten degrees cooler than yesterday… not cool enough to call for long sleeves yet, maybe tomorrow. A steady lite rain is falling, and a steady north breeze is blowing. Besides the gentle patter of…

It’s a bit on the warm side this morning. And a lite rain is falling. Evidently it’s been falling for awhile. The trees are filled with dozens of small birds. The muted colors of fall…

Thanksgiving Our fireplace mantle… Today is a day of giving thanks… A special day set aside to remind us of something we should be doing every day… but sadly, we really do need reminding. So,…

Wordless Wednesday

It’s exactly one month till Christmas Eve. And as we approach Thanksgiving, I can’t help but wonder at the total lack of Christian ideals from around the country. I guess we’ve finally achieved separation of…

As we work our way to Thanksgiving Day this week I’m going to spend some valuable musing time thinking about what I have to be thankful for. Number one on my thankful list is that,…

A pleasantly cool Sunday morning… with a Sunday morning quietude going on. Even the chickens around the corner are not their normally chatty selves. Maybe they feel the poultry dinner doldrums as we close in…

As you can see from the pictures, I slept in on another weekend morning. And, truth be told,  I’m really not in a musey kind of mood. I don’t want to think about a petulant…

Today the world has pulled the covers up over its head. Trying to get a little bit more sleep before being forced to face the craziness… Foggy mornings are different… almost surreal. Birds sound closer,…

It’s not quite as cool. The sky’s not a vibrantly clear. Sunrise this morning is actually a bit more interesting with the addition of the clouds. Though it’s a bit funny the way those dark…

Wordless Wednesday

Once more around the clock. Cool, 45 degrees… check. Bright, cloudless skies… check. My breath visible… check. Ahhhhhh… if only this was our normal I’d be extremely happy. There’s a flock of midsized birds in…

It’s cold and crisp this morning. The sounds of trains, traffic, and crows fill the pre-sunup day. Birds chirp and chatter. And every breath I take is visible in the air before me. I find…

It twas a very strange morning on the back porch. Warm and muggy when I walked out and thirty minutes later it was cool and blustery. It was probably the warmest time of the day…

I lay in bed a while after the alarm… wasn’t really asleep. I had actually been awake for a bit before the alarm… in that half world of fantasy and reality… thoughts running through my…

The morning starts out warm and gray. An overall, overreaching, overwhelming gray to the world. Even the normally unheard cows in the neighbor’s pasture are mooing mournfully. This transitional weather leaves a lot to be…

The sun rises onto a cooler morning on the back porch. Not a lot cooler, but here in Texas every little bit helps. Once again the prognosticators are foretelling of a high in the 80’s….

It’s another hazy, overcast, almost cool fall morning. The second train of the morning is going through town. And a bird I like to call the squeaky gate bird is calling from the pine trees….

To the east there’s a bit of clear sky for the sun to rise into. But from there all the way to the western horizon a rising fog bank is blocking the sky. It’s also…

As you can see, yesterday’s fog is back and lower. The world feels smaller, more closely held, layers of gray. The overnight lows are easing back up. It’s warm enough to make the ceiling fans…

It’s a pleasant 68 degrees this morning under a rising dense fog. There’s a lite breeze blowing from the north. Chicken sounds are coming from the place around the corner. I’m glad I don’t live…

Another weekend, another late morning, another day of counting votes… So, once again I’m sitting inside, watching the grass of a vote count growing… slowly, oh so slowly, as Biden moves towards the Presidency. So,…

2016 – A refresher

The ground fog is thickening as the morning brightens. It’s cool out, but not as nippy as it has been. My thermometer said 56 before I walked our. It’s cool enough to see my breath….

I woke up, once again, before the alarm. There was such a glow in the bathroom window I had to rush out and capture the sunrise… boy, was it worth it! Now I’m back inside…

Wordless Wednesday

Walking out this morning was like a repeat of yesterday… a little nippy, clear sky, sun just hitting the tops of the trees… all and all… a gorgeous fall day. There’s a calmness to the…

Daylight Savings Time has gone for another year and my alarm goes off just before sunrise. So my morning coffee muses won’t be spent waiting for the light. The three shots above were taken right…

I now recall the real reason for the umbrella. Even with the alarm going of at 6:30 the sun comes up pretty quickly once we are back on “standard” time. It takes the umbrella to…

I saw this on Facebook and just had to put it out there… here.

Halloween It’s Saturday and I slapped at the alarm when it went off at 6:30. So for southeast Texas, it’s a cold and bright morning on the back porch… so I won’t be hanging out…

Another very cool morning with starry skies. I added a layer to my henley… my fleece hoodie is just enough to keep me comfortable enough to stay on the porch for awhile. The weather app…

It’s too cold to enjoy the back porch as the sun lightens the eastern sky… A clear, star filled sky. The thermometer is telling me the temperature on the porch is all of 47 degrees….

Western sky. It’s really quiet out this morning on the back porch. Seemingly more so because of a lack of need for the ceiling fans. The weather app on my phone says it’s 63 degrees…

Well, this isn’t the back porch, and my coffee cup is in the cupholder in the car out in the parking lot. I had one cup before leaving home, and just a bit more as…

It’s not so cool, and it’s overcast this morning. It’s late, as usual for a Sunday morning. Other than a train moving down the rails blasting at the crossings, it’s even pretty quiet. I can’t…

Ah, Saturday morning. Add in a cool front that had this morning’s temperature in the 50’s and a cool north breeze and the morning couldn’t get much better. Though, I had to open the umbrella…

It’s 50 minutes till sunrise, but already I can see fog around the lights in the neighborhood. It’s not the normal ground fog either… even in the dark I can see it reaches to the…
