It’s not too warm, but, after raining almost all afternoon yesterday, it’s all kinds of muggy. Seems appropriate for the first day of June. The sky is still overcast… really dramatic looking in today’s photos….

I’m out on the back porch once again. With the ceiling fans moving the air, it’s comfortable. The birds are filling the air with song a bit more than yesterday. Even had a couple of…

On the back porch this morning. Ceiling fans on… the movement of the air provides some comfort on another muggy morning. The temperature is already in the mid-seventies and the clouds cover most of the…

It’s still out here on the front porch… Kinda muggy, but not too warm. According to the prognosticators it will be pushing 90 degrees today. Here’s a short video of yesterday’s afternoon thunder storms. They…

The morning is cool and bright. No evidence of the excessive heat to come by afternoon. The prognosticators are foretelling of more rain in the early afternoon. But the forecasted high is still in the…

I am out on the front porch before the sun comes over the horizon. I’ve been watching the brouhaha brewing over the president’s* fight with the governor of North Carolina over whether or not they…

I’m up earlier than normal. The house is empty of everyone but me. That’s something it hasn’t been since early March. The sky is overcast, some rain fell overnight. It’s even cool enough to make…

Memorial Day Up early after a night of thunder and lightning.  Two of my kids and all of my grandkids are headed to the hill country for 4 days. A vacation they planned in February…

It’s already after noon. I’m still drinking coffee so this still qualifies as my afternoon coffee muse. As I write this the first rumbles of thunder are rolling around the house. The thunderstorms the prognosticators…

Weekends don’t start like weekdays. So here it is almost 10am and I haven’t stepped outside. Breakfast is cooked but I stopped to post a quick note before we get busy with our weekly grocery…

It’s been mostly cloudy this morning. Already, at midmorning, the temperature is 85. I’ve spent the morning doing chores, so even though today’s photos are from the front porch. I didn’t spend my morning muse…

Testing social media integration. I want to see how this populates.

Another warm and humid start to what promises to be a hot early start to summer. The prognosticators are foretelling of the mid nineties for our mid May day. By afternoon, we are feeling like…

It’s the middle of winter but you’d never know it from the weather… Our ten day forecast looks like this… We’re heading up to almost 80° in the coming week. I’ve been noticing a difference…

It’s warm outside… warmer than normal for this time of year. Almost as warm as it is inside. And the heat is on. Outside it’s 65º… inside it’s 68º. And, it’s overcast. The prognosticators have…

It’s frosty out there this morning. I wasn’t expecting it… It’s also pretty frosty in Washington. I listened to much of the hearings yesterday. What really came thru for me was the hate Republicans feel…

It’s just after noon on this mid month Sunday. Ten days before Christmas and the weather feels anything but Christmas like. We are headed towards 80º today. At least it’s breezy. So much so that…

A cool start to the last month of the decade. Especially welcome after a warmer than normal Thanksgiving week. My red tree isn’t very red anymore. And unlike most years it’s not very green either…

A cool, bright morning with clearing fog. Sadly, the fog in America politics isn’t clearing. Between alternative facts and subjective truths, there is a fog of obstruction, a smokescreen of lies and conspiracy theories. With…

Cool… quiet… There’s a silence in the world this morning… an anticipation of awakening… A fluttering of feathers… a sudden bursting of birdsong…  and suddenly,  the silence is gone as if it never existed.. Enjoy…

Yesterday’s rains left it cooler this morning. The prognosticators are foretelling of another front this weekend. Winds of change are blowing… Today’s photo…

There’s a lite rain falling this morning. Heat still hits you in the face in this summer that never ends,

Humid,  very, very humid this morning. Not feeling the muse this morning.. So here’s the photo of the morning… 0

I wasn’t able to enjoy the weather change last week. I was under the weather myself. An end of summer cold knocked me out  for a few days… then, it took a few more to…

I’m waiting for round two. Another front coming down to reinforce the cool that came thru on Monday. Today is just wet… foggy condensation dripping from the roof. Evidently I’m coming down with a cold……

Out before sunrise on this cool morning. The first time in what seems like forever that the outside and the inside temperature are a wash. It’s quiet,  it’s still, it’s cool… not a normal morning….

A change is coming… feel it you can… hear it you can… sense it you can… We can put a pin in the Family Reunion.  A vote was taken and an end was announced. So…

Today is a roadtrip day. The 60th Annual Boyd-Cox Family Reunion. The piece above was made by my cousin Melba. The coat of arms came from my cousin Jim. His wife Bettie sent it to…

So, the summer that never ends might be ending next week. It can’t be soon enough for me. I am so ready for the heat to moderate for another trip around the sun. The muse…

Summer continues. I received word yesterday via a letter in a package of family relics that another of my first cousins past away last month. James Albert Boyd, Jim was 80. We only became acquainted…

Another summer morning hanging on into fall. A bit of morning fog hangs low over the neighbor’s yard. The warm stillness feels like a too long goodbye to summer. It’s also another morning of impeachment…

Another overly warm humid morning in southeast Texas. Hummingbirds still fight for dominance at the feeders. I have heard low flying aircraft pass over the past few days. So maybe we’ll see fewer mosquitoes.  Though,…

Hello October. It’s time to feel a change on the air… past time. I was reading yesterday online that should we reach October 7th without a cool front, it will break a record for the…

Goodbye September.  

As we reach the end of another month it seems the months are flying by this year. Once again, I’m hiding inside from the three fiends of southeast Texas… mosquitoes,  heat, and humidity. The morning…

I don’t understand weekends. Even though there is no difference between weekends and the rest of the week for me, sleeping in on weekends is still a thing. Summer lingers outside. Mosquitoes still swarm. I…

It’s overcast this morning. Even so, I’m inside… hiding from the bloodsuckers outside. Still I’m attacked by the invaders inside the house. The buzzing in my ear causing me to dodge… and slap… missing the…

Mosquitoes… that’s becoming the theme of the week around my neck of woods. Impeachment… that’s becoming the theme of the week on the internets and news. Quite late. Should of happened long ago. Hummingbirds… the…

Even though it’s officially the beginning of fall, the weather outside tells a different story. Heat, humidity, mosquitoes,  it seems like early summer to me. Finally, Washington has come to the conclusion that the President’s…

The neighborhood crows just moved thru the yard looking for a handout. The hummingbirds are fighting everywhere. The sun peaks over the eastern treeline. Something keeps bending the bird feeder pole to the ground and…

The heat and humidity hit me in the face hard. Not a pleasant morning to enjoy the back porch. So here I sit, inside, on the laptop,  checking out the world. We have a ton…

Mostly clear skies. High humidity. The heats back… or at least it feels like it. The hummingbirds are still bullieing each other around the feeders. You’ll hear a buzz, a chattering, then the thump of…

The humidity is back. Even the fans can’t drive it away. The sky is still overcast from horizon to horizon. The prognosticators are still foretelling of more rain. And the hummingbirds still fight to control…

Imelda… she’s brought over 24 hours of almost constant rainfall. Somewhere in the 6 – 8 inches of rainfall overnight. And once again the schools around here are closed. So we once more have a…

Not musing this morning, had a doctors appointment. Back at the house and it’s just been raining all day. Here’s what I’m seeing on Wunderground… Hello Imelda.

We are headed down the back side of September now. I refilled and hung the hummingbird feeders last week and already they are piling in, fighting to rule the feeder. Chasing each other around the…
