It's early evening on the back porch. Shadows stretch across the yard and the neighbor is mowing. It's been a long rest between blog posts... My yard could use a good mow too. Monday will be two weeks... again. I will say it's managed to stay green with the fewer,…
I had a crew out the last two days working on my trees and clearing the downed limb. The new view from the back porch is much improved... it doesn't hurt that the heat is moderated just a bit. Above is today's view, below the view from a month back.…
Friday morning coffee... another warm morning on the back porch. If you are in the sun, a very warm morning. Though, even in the shade under the ceiling fan, it's not what I would call cool. It's so warm even the clouds, what few I've seen, are little wispy things…

I woke up this morning to a blustery north wind driving temperatures into the 40's. Tonight the weather prognosticators are predicting lows in the 30's. It would appear winter (at least our kind of winter) isn't through with SE Texas.
