June 22nd, Tuesday
Thunder and lightning moved through earlier, so even now a singular rumble of thunder moves across the landscape. But funny thing, no rain fell. The driveway is dry. At least the temperature is down and the upper 70s for a change. Though I'm sure, the humidity is still high. And…

June 14th, Monday
Looking at the photos above gives you a pretty good idea of what's happening in the atmosphere. We sit on the northwest corner of a massive clouds rolling out into the gulf. So to the east in the first picture it's full on overcast. To the south in the middle…
June 13th, Sunday
Not quite so warm, not quite so humid. It's 79° with a humidity of 88%, the day isn't quite as oppressive as the past few. And there are clouds building in with a promise of a 30 plus percent precipitation. Of course, by afternoon when the temperature tops 95° oppressive…
Sunday, 16th of May
The temperature this morning is 74°. A very light, light rain is falling. From watching the radar the rain will be getting heavier through the morning. There is a frog singing to the rain somewhere close. And off in the distance the gentle sounds of roosters talking amongst themselves. The…

The coffeepot was still brewing when I came out... The back porch is pleasantly cool, the sun is bright, and the sky is clear. I have even turned the ceiling fans on... Way down low... Just to move the air around a little between breezes. My granddaughter brought me my…
Friday, 14th of May
It's another breezy overcast start to the day. The world is green. The coffee is hot. My wife is home again for another day. And I'm on the back porch listening to crows in the distance. This morning as I walked out, I heard a number of bluebirds singing in…
Thursday 13th of May
This is the kind of spring morning in Southeast Texas that you just want to cherish. Blue skies, low temperatures, hello humidity. The temperature this morning 63°. I can see the latest update to Android is going to take some getting used to {period} it seems as if suddenly you…
Saturday, 8th of May
I already miss the cool morning temperature of yesterday. It's 71° outside this morning. It's going to be a hot one today. Looking at the satellite images and the radar images there's just a bit of moisture moving in off the gulf. As you can see in the images above…
Thursday, 6th of May
It was another nicely cool morning today, the temperature in the low 60s. It was more moisture in the air, the heavy dew on the car. We ended up sitting at the road waiting on the buses with the windows down. The year has progressed far enough that when we…
Tuesday, May 4th
It's just another overcast and cloudy sky day. It's warm, it's muggy, and the prognosticators are saying there's a good chance of rain coming with the cool front... That hopefully, will blow through sooner rather than later. As I was sitting out at the road waiting for the buses this…
Sunday, May 2nd
Well, the rain's finally broken... Or maybe I should say the rains have moved east. The temperature outside is 73°. The driveway is still covered in water as it rained a bit overnight. As a matter of fact as I headed for bed last night I could hear the dull…
Saturday, May 1st
It's a comfortable 69° out this morning as a light rain falls. We are still under a flash flood watch or warning, I can never keep them straight. The Cardinals are singing now out in the rain. But other than that it's quiet. I can't even hear the murmur of…
30th of April, Friday
I woke up this morning to the sound of thunder. Not quite like last weekend when the lightning strikes were fast and furious, close to the house. But just an occasional rumble, a barely audible, just on the edge of awareness, grumble in the distance. Like rain was falling. And…

26th of April, Monday
It's a cool 61° on the back porch this morning. The Cardinals are chirping. The roosters around the corner are for lack of a better term, The spring flowers in the yard are fading. I guess I'm going to have to eventually fire up the mower and attack the high…
17th of April, Saturday
It's another overcast morning at our place. Radar shows scattered showers all around us. It's kind of blustery... The trees are dancing in the cool, cool breezes. The temperature this morning, 59°. The prognosticators are forecasting even lower overnight temperatures tonight. I love these short interludes of actual springtime weather.…
11th of April, Sunday
It's a bit cooler, and dryer and a whole lot windier this morning. At 9:00 a.m. the temperature is 65°. What with the breeze, it's downright chilly. But what a beautiful morning it is. I ended up on the TV late last night. I kind of ended up in a…
10th of April, Saturday
The color green has over taken the world these days. With a little splashes of white and pink and blue and purple scattered around the yard. And there are splashes blue and red and brown and russet scattered amongst the trees. It's wildflowers scattered around the yard and birds scattered…
6th of April, Tuesday
Well spring has truly arrived. I can see hints of green even around the mostly bare pecan trees. The morning temperature is 69°. The air is dry, there was no dew on the windows of the car this morning. The morning birdsong is everywhere around the yard. Hummingbirds flit like…
Second of April, Good Friday
Another pleasantly cool spring morning, it's 52°. Just a light breeze blowing. An almost cloudless sky. Bright spring sunshine. Walking out on the back porch this morning I spooked Blue Jay on the feeder. Since it's a bit late, I didn't hear the morning bird song I've been hearing the…
March 30, Tuesday
Once again the skies are overcast. The temperature is 69 degrees this morning. There's a chance of rain this afternoon. And the birds are filling the air with birdsong. Really for the first time in a long time I'm sitting in the rockers on the back porch... Watching springs bursting…
March 11, Thursday
While we still look like winter, the morning temperature of 68° lays false to that claim from my eyes. It's definitely shorts and tank top weather. And the AC is definitely on here in the house. It's not fighting the outside temperature so much as moderating the inside heat rise…
February 4th, Thursday
It's definitely not chilly today. The temperature this morning before sunup was 64°. Clouds are moving back in from the gulf. The prognosticators are foretellingof a good chance of rain today and tonight... We'll have to see. I've been seeing Robin's fly around in the early morning light. I've seen…

Happy Birthday Abby It's chilly this morning, and there's a bit of a breeze blowing, but it'll warm up some by afternoon. Sitting at the bus stop, the temperature on the car dashboard is 44°. The wait with one grandchild is what it takes to warm the car. The second…
31st of January, Sunday
It's very bright out today. A cloudless blue sky. But still, it feels like spring, in the middle of winter. The weather app says it's 57° out. While on the back porch, the sun has warmed it into the sixties. The cold front has passed us by. Tonight's low will…
29th of January, Friday
Walking out this morning to sit with the grandkids waiting for the school bus, the moon was impressive as it set to the west. Last evening, after watching the fox eat on the back porch, I walked outside to see if I can see him again and spent some time…
28th of January, Thursday
It's nippy outside this morning, 42°. All of the color in the sunrise is to the north, so my pictures don't show it. There are some individual crows out and about this morning, cawing as they travel across the yard. The flocks of blackbirds are gathered in the pecans behind…
