Only on the Texas Gulf Coast is New Year's Eve. Feel like early summer.... I'm firing up the grill to smoke a pork roast for our New Year's dinner. The ceiling fans are on because it's well into the '70s on this porch with the sun beating down upon me.…
And it actually feels like autumn!

Tuesday, December 19th There was some wonderful pre-sunrise color this morning. Though at 40° the back porch was just a bit chilly. As I stood there and watched the show, birds were singing all around me. By the time the sun had cleared the horizon, the color had washed out…

Friday, September 22nd While it's not totally unpleasant on the front porch this morning, it is quite sticky with the humidity at 97%. The temperature today is a bit higher than yesterday.. which was a bit higher than the day before.. which was much higher than the day before that.…
Thursday, September 21st Well... Paul seems to have wandered its way back north. Morning lows are closing back in on 80°. Yesterday I received an email from Wikitree like I do once a week .. and this week's featured connections were all James's.. Glancing through the list I saw that…
Tuesday September 19th https://youtu.be/a9EJFTMPDVs We dipped into full fall (for SE Texas) weather this morning. When the temperature and the dewpoint both start off in the mid-sixties... the morning just feels right. When I stepped out to document the morning I saw I already had a chore needing to be…

Sunday September 10th Another interesting morning.. though the temperature is up, the humidity is down.. so in terms of how it feels it's pretty much a wash. Watching the battles unfold out my back window for the past few days has felt a lot like watching a miniaturized version of…
Saturday, September 9th These are the kind of mornings that I love to take photos of. It's cool out... Well, somewhat... The humidity is not as high as normal even though it has raised overnight and it's sprinkling now. It's late on Saturday morning. I slept in after the light…
Thursday, September 7th According to the readings on the weather app it shouldn't feel this pleasant on the front porch. But with the fan blowing, it's almost chill. According to my phone, it's a comfortable 77°. Over the past few days we've had a massive influx of hummingbirds. It seems…
Tuesday August 29th It does not feel as pleasant out this morning as I expected. I'm not really sure exactly what the difference is.. The humidity is reasonable.. The temperature is not bad.. Even the dew point is reasonable.. and yet sitting on the front porch with the fan on…
