A Cold Winter’s Sunrise
It's between bus runs. With just patches of snow still showing, the windshield was covered in ice this morning. The temperature is only 32°.
And The Snow Lingers
I never thought I would see the day that the satellite image would be showing snow cover in SE Texas...
Muses on the Nature of a Snowfall…
It's early afternoon and I have discovered that seeing a solid field of bright white on the ground outside my windows is a strangely unnerving sight. It's contrary to anything I've really experienced. I've never lived somewhere where snow was common, And the few snows of this magnitude that I've…
Texas Weather
At least our run-up to the deep freeze next week is being led off by a string of colorful sunrises. Looking at the 10 day forecast this morning has a greater than even chance of... Snow on Tuesday morning. With the low on Tuesday night forecasted to be 21°. Looks…
Another January Sunrise
I woke up this morning to 38° on the phone. All of the weather forecasters are teasing about the possibility of snow early next week... We'll see.
Fourteenth of January, Sunrise
New Year’s Eve….
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.…
Gone with the wind…
And this is why we call it fall.

Still hanging on…
As the sun sets in the too warm December evening...
It’s a race…
Between the winds and full color.
Once the winds return…
Fall color will be gone before it really arrived.
Fall Color… Finally
At least it's started...
A foggy Veterans Day sunrise..
And it actually feels like autumn!
A chance of rain?

Fall Sun on Leaves
The view from my chair...
It’s another overcast dawn.
According to the weather prognosticators, most of today will look just like it does right now. Though, our run of 70° temperatures has pretty much come to an end for a while... And those overnight lows in the 50's.. we probably won't see another one of those before fall rolls…
A return to our very short spring….
I'm standing out on the front porch this morning. Waiting for my grandson to get on the school bus... And I'm struck by how beautiful a spring morning it is. Even though the sun is not up, the birds are singing as if their lives depended upon it. There is…
After the storm…

Wordless Wednesday
It’s a bit nippy out this morning…
The trip out onto the front porch first thing this morning was really chilly... It was 45° outside. The photo above is taken from the back porch just before the second bus run... 2 weeks ago. This would have been what it looked like at the first bus run. A…
Muses after springing forward…
Tuesday, March 12th I can't recall whether this confluence of events has happened in the past or not. But having a week of spring break for the grandkids follow immediately after the spring time change is a bit strange... To be waking up without an alarm and 2 hours after…
The start to what feels like it will be an almost perfect day…
Wordless Wednesday, February 21st
It’s funny what a difference 15 minutes can make…..
Tuesday, February 20th It seems that one minute I could see forever.. but the next minute fog and settled in. The morning temperature wasn't bad.. 45°. Calm winds. But the more light outside, the foggier it looks. Though it is nice to hear the birds waking up and singing.
This is about as much a winter morning as we have….
Sunday, February 18th The morning's temperature started out at 37°. The high today will approach 60°. The low overnight is forecast to reach 36°. That's pretty much a standard deep winter's day for southeast Texas. According to the prognosticators over at Space City Weather, this will probably be the last…
It’s pleasantly cool out at 7:00 a.m.
Thursday, February 15th Well... Once again, the sky is totally overcast. And according to the prognosticators, it will run through the weekend. The temperature outside is 58°. And it was so pleasant, I found myself sitting and reading for quite a while after the first bus run. Listening to the…
