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…
Thursday It's another beautiful fall sunrise. The temperature is a brisk 45°. But, fall's going to slip back into a more summer like few days. The highs for the rest of the week will be pushing 80° if not above. On top of that I see there's a chance of…
Tuesday My two colorful trees just before sunup this morning. I am continually amazed by the rapidity of the change in the colors on the red oak. Though, truth be told, the Bald Cypress is taking a decidedly reddish turn this fall. And, as the pictures in the previous post…
Monday Out before sunup, the light gives lie to the colors. At least, to the camera's eye.... but, I'll be the first to admit that fall color is coming on faster that I can ever recall... The first thing I noticed upon arising, was a text from Sherry telling me…
Saturday The rains have finally moved out after dropping almost 6" in 2 days. Had the fall color progression has started. Yesterday was the first time I spotted color over most of the oak tree. And today seems to be covering even more. The cold spell we had last week…
Friday It was just yesterday that I noticed the first few colored leaves on the oak tree. This morning the color is spreading. It looks like this will be a nicely colored late fall display. Also, the bald cypress is showing a bit more color. When you add in the…
Monday Ten days ago a cold front blew into Houston, and since that time the region has experienced weather that is typical for the dead of winter, not late fall. The city’s warmest temperature during that timespan has been just 61 degrees, with lows in the 30s and 40s. Houston…
Sunday Between rains this morning... It's a cool 42°... Enjoy the day... That's all I've got got... Catch you on the other side...
Saturday It's a cool 49° and raining. My bald cypress is starting to get it's color on. But without any Chinese tallow trees around the area the fall colors haven't taken off yet. And since the first trees to be cleared whenever anyone clears land are the tallows, they are…
Friday It's an inauspicious morning.... My laptop just flashed the blue screen of death and is restarting. It's been doing that a lot here lately. What with all of the issues it seems to be having, it might be time to start thinking about a replacement. Anywho, back to our…
Thursday It really looks like winter out this morning... And it's pretty cool for a November morning. 43°... That's winter time temperatures on the southeast Texas coast. Every morning when I check the weather forecast more clouds appear.... At some point, the mostly sunny skies they keep promising should appear....…

Tuesday the 15th
Tuesday It's another gloomy winter like morning. Yesterday's rain totaled over an inch, but just barely. And today's overcast isn't doing much to warm the morning. Yesterday afternoon I spent some time on YouTube catching the Austin City Limits Festival acts. And that led me to a really nice rendition…
Monday Awake with the light of day just brightening the morn and the wind chimes on the front porch are having one hell of a conversation. Our little bit of winter has backed of for just one day with a almost fall like morning... for just a day! The prognosticators…

Friday The Sounds of Silence Being in High School at the end of the 1960's was an interesting experience. It was made especially so by the introduction of team teaching in the 7th grade. Add into that the fact that my English class was taught by a couple of interesting…
Monday It's a warm, muggy, foggy start to a summer like week. The highs this week will be pushing into the mid '80s. The lows will only be closing in on 70°, not below. For most of the country this is summer like weather. Tomorrow is election day. If you…
Friday It's just a little bit humid on this pleasantly warm-ish fall morning. The end of another week. Waiting for another cool front. If this was June or July, it would be the start of a beautiful day... But, this is November. There is a pleasant breeze blowing as the…

saturday Yesterday's rain total, today's cloud cover at sunup, and the backyard... All wet. Getting ready to fix breakfast before we go and stand in line to cast our votes... Have a great weekend all...

tuesday It's much cooler this morning... Fall has returned. It's also very breezy. Sometime during the night the front blew through dropping just a little bit of rain. At 62° and with the breeze blowing it's just a bit nippy this morning... Or as one of my daughters used to…
sunday Have a peaceful Sunday...
friday It's going to be a busy day so I don't have much to say... Enjoy your Friday and I'll catch you on the other side...
thursday A bit chilly out this morning. Though, not quite as chilly as yesterday morning... And... The humidity is starting to rise again. The weather is quite the complement to last nights supper... Chili and beans. And no matter what folks might say, this Texas boy always puts beans in…
tuesday Boy... Stepping out this morning was a pleasant shock. Fall weather, when it finally comes, is too nice. It makes me remember why I dislike summer so much... The guys at Space City Weather reminded us that the last time we reached or projected low for tonight was back…
monday It's comfortable out... And breezy... And from the forecast, the temperature is only going to rise a few degrees before it starts to fall again. I think I can really say, fall has arrived. Evidently, the front has already passed through my area. What with the strong breeze out…
sunday Have an enjoyable Sunday... I'll catch you on the other side.
