Tuesday, January 10th It's already 61 ° and there's a "Dense Fog Advisory" out there. Since it's still dark out I have no idea if it actually is foggy... As the world outside my window begins to lighten I see that the "Advisory" was correct. The world is shrouded in…
Monday, January 9th It's a pleasantly cool 52° on the back porch this morning. The winds are calm, not a breeze blowing. Just enough light clouds in the sky to add some color to the sunrise this morning... Here's a bit of ground fog hanging through the woods... The chickens…
Sunday, January 8th It was a wild and stormy night... Thunder and lightning... An inch of rain fell while we slept. This morning on the back porch it's cool and windy. The temperature is 57°, the wind out of the north is gusting to 20 mph. The clouds in the…
Saturday, January 7th It's the beginning of what the prognosticators are foretelling will be a wet weekend. As usual, we will have to wait and see what happens in the long run. Though at the moment it's a pleasant 62° out on the back porch. While reading yesterday, an old…
Friday, January 6th Good morning... It's a bit warmer this morning at 52°, but the humidity is up and that makes it feel cooler. On this anniversary of one of the darkest days in our countries recent history... It's good to see the Party that instigated the insurrection is still…
Thursday, January 5th It feels more like winter this morning, 45°... It's still, the sky is cloudless. It's even a little chilly inside the house because with our heat spell since Christmas I've not turned on the heat yet... Not that the house is cool down that much with all…
Wednesday, January 4th Wordless Wednesday
Monday, January 2nd Another overcast start to a New Year's day. I am out on the back porch once again and the temperature this morning is a balmy 72°... Not a temperature many of us associate with the first of January. Especially not with the start of a day in…
Sunday, January 1st Happy New Year It's 64° and very foggy... And still... And quiet... And my coffee's brewed... And so far, not much has happened around here in the new year ... That's a very good thing...

Friday It's wet... It's 62°... Since yesterday afternoon over an inch of rain has fallen. What a difference a week can make and looks of the world around me. That is, if you throw in a few days freezing weather... The number of leaves hanging on to the branches of…
Thursday It's a pleasant 61° out this morning. I can't really say that it feels like the last days of December. And, the prognosticators tell us it's going to get warmer by the new year. It's just a bit foggy out this morning... Very damp. The clouds are moving north…
Tuesday The sun is up... The sky is a deep blue. Cloudless. It's a blue that only appears in winter. On cold, crisp mornings. Maybe we should name it... Winter's Blue... We are in the post Christmas doldrums. The days between Christmas and New Years... Between anticipation and anxiety... The…
Monday Well, the big day is over... Peace and quietude has descended over this house once again. Listening to music in my big easy chair... I don't have much to say this morning so I'll leave you with what I'm listening to right now... https://youtu.be/S_E5Nw5lnrw
Wordless Wednesday - Winter inter Solstice
Tuesday While it's not cold out per se... It does have a look of winter. The temperature is hovering right around the 50° mark where it will pretty much stay for the next two days. The prognosticators are foretelling that we might even see 70° temperatures before the bottom falls…
Monday The calm before the storm... There is an overcast to the day... A heaviness hanging in the air... A portent of expectations blowing on the winds... A coastal low pressure system is helping to drive rain showers across the metro area this morning, and these will continue on and…
Friday It's almost 10° warmer this morning. Still, it's much more seasonable than the above 70° start we've been having. The Christmas Day forecast is out... The low Christmas morning will be in the '30s. The high Christmas Day will just reach 50°... About what it is right now. It…
Tuesday It's already 72° this morning. Looking at the trees you're given a very ambiguous picture of what season we are in. The Red oak has lost almost all of its leaves, even the balls Cypress is looking mighty bare. You have the temperature is anything but December-like. At least…
Sunday It's a cool 66° this morning and the light rain is falling. Though, the thunder makes it sound like it should be raining harder... I spent yesterday playing that fun game of new computer updating. I really understand why that game exists. But for some reason to have to…
Saturday The sun is up fully. And while the temperature is cool at 69°, it's quite warm on the back porch. We just have another week or so of the sun's southerly movement on the horizon before it starts moving north again. Then another cycle will begin As usual, on…
Friday It's another foggy morning. Even the sounds are muffled. The temperature is 71°. And with the moisture in the air it's a cool 71°.... It's the end of another week. We are getting closer and closer to the Christmas weekend. I really don't find myself with much to say…
Thursday Well, once again it's warm and muggy. The temperature starting today is 72°. Almost all of the leaves have fallen from the Red Oak. The pictures above show yesterday and today's leaf coverage. And with the overcast that starts each day, it really looks like winter outside though decidedly…

Tuesday It's another warm one today. It's already 71°. The prognosticators say this is what we have to look forward to for the rest of the week. We might see it cool down after this coming weekend. But the progression of color in my backyard goes on. Although the color…
Monday The morning is warm and foggy... 67° with a dense fog advisory. The prognosticators are foretelling if a high temperature today is 79°. Not a very fall-like weather pattern we're having this week... With highs of about 80 or above for the next 7 days. My sons came over…
Sunday It's a pleasant 64° out this morning. Overcast, still... Not a breeze blowing. The progression of color is moving from the tree to the ground. I find myself in that in between space. I've ordered a new laptop because the one here at the house has been getting glitchy.…
Saturday it's an almost warm and sticky mess out this morning. With the temperature of 72° and a humidity of 96%, our cool fall days are definitely in the rearview mirror. Last night after dark the fog that threatened yesterday afternoon rolled in. This morning only vestiges remain. As colorful…
Friday And just like that, the weather, she has turned on a dime... The morning temperature is 64°. And the humidity is up. Which makes the fall colors pop. At this point I almost feel like I'm living in one of GC Myers red tree paintings. For my whole life…
