Tuesday https://youtu.be/0_dj5T4yoGk 43 years ago this morning, my wife and I stood in front of a justice of the peace and said our vows. 43 years, almost twice as long as it took me to get to that point... Happy Anniversary Dear. May the next 43 be just as fun.…

Tuesday https://youtu.be/bJdGtOeuWzg It looks like this return to summer is almost over. Tomorrow we have a front moving through... Rain, wind, and cooling temperatures... Thursday is forecast to be cool and breezy. I doubt I will have many posts this week, as my wife is off work. That being the…
October Twenty-second, 2021
Friday https://youtu.be/XzkC5-cBn8M Another foggy start to a warmish day. Pretty much a repeat of yesterday. Thinking back over the past 10 months, I find I don't recall all that many foggy mornings. At least not heavy fog... For some reason, that feels strange to me. This isn't a scientific observation...…

Monday https://youtu.be/gYjJInMyrPI Fall has truly and finally arrived. Though it will come and go for the next few weeks, temperatures rising and falling, the season has turned. We've had two mornings when the low temperature was right at 50°. And it's been beautiful. The yard crew got an early start…

Tuesday https://youtu.be/PkIV4eiGAI4 Here we are in the middle of October and summer has come back to visit. Over the weekend, the morning lows have moved back into the upper 70s. And stepping out on the back porch, are the front porch for that matter, is like stepping into a sauna...…

Sunday https://youtu.be/HtFCpENC1G0 It's an in-between kind of day... Not summer yet not fall either. A sleep-in kind of Sunday. I'm about to start cooking breakfast so this will just be a quick little muse. Gary Myers shared some music over on Redtree Times this morning that led me to the…

Thursday https://youtu.be/hmuP_AQcAdw Walking out on the back porch just after 6:00 a.m. this morning, the world was dark. The sky was clear. And Orion shown brightly directly overhead. The only sound was the roar of traffic on the bypass... When I stepped out for the second time, the sun was…

Tuesday https://youtu.be/MubjkD_S1i8 As I took the photos in the video this morning hummingbirds were buzzing right by my head. As I stood less than 6 inches from a feeder two hummers sat and ate right beside my face. When one would leave another would take it's place. Others were on…

Thursday https://youtu.be/KXa99_c6-Ww It was 75°, when I walked out this morning onto the darkened back porch. The humidity was high settling like a blanket over the world. Once the sun began to brighten the neighborhood, I could see a light mist hugging the ground abd dew covering the grass and…

Tuesday https://youtu.be/GBHFlEXVJMs After I woke grandkid number one this morning, I stepped out on the back porch into what felt like a return to summer... The temperature was above 75°, and the humidity was pushing 100%. Off in the distance lightning flashed, and thunder rumbled softly. For the first bus…

Friday https://youtu.be/mazVlMjIDVc A person could get used to mornings starting out in the '50s. It's another gorgeous day on the back porch. Fall like temperatures and low humidity. What could be better for starting the last day of the week and going into a weekend. Wednesday's cold front almost swept…

Monday https://youtu.be/86W2GOTVkfc We're just waiting for the weather to change... Me and the hummingbirds... There are dozens swarming around the feeders front and back. They and I are waiting for the cold front the prognosticators are promising us in the next couple of days. Me... I'll enjoy sitting on the…
Saturday Afternoon on the Back Porch
https://youtu.be/VSdC3K9p7Cw I was playing with the GoPro yesterday afternoon watching the swarms of Hummingbirds attack my feeders and each other. It took awhile to put together the video and upload it to YouTube,

Friday https://youtu.be/fEsSix79zyk After I wake up my granddaughter at 6:00 a.m. I usually step out onto the dark back porch to get a feel for the day. A lot of mornings if I look up and see any stars at all, I see my old friend Orion overhead. Come the…

Thursday https://youtu.be/zChfJFlM3J8 When I walked out on the back porch at 6:00 a.m. there were stars shining in the sky. By 7:00 a.m. clouds had covered the entirety of the dome. The temperatures are still mild unlike the aftermath for every tropical system I've ever lived through. It's unseasonably fall…

Saturday, 9/11 https://youtu.be/QZgOoG-vLPg This morning I'm out on the back porch enjoying unseasonably nice fall weather. The morning temperature was 64° when I walked out.

Friday https://youtu.be/f5qwTaOLAo0 There's a pleasure in visiting the outdoors when both the temperature and the humidity meet in the lower 70s. And this morning I reaped the benefits of that pleasure when the temperature was 73° with a 73% humidity. I really do understand that this is just a preview…

Monday, Labor Day https://youtu.be/z8QJmdAeP3I Walking out on the back porch this morning it felt cooler. Though, truth be told at 78°, it's been cooler of a morning. But then I pulled up the humidity... And in the mid '80s that's enough of a difference to make it feel much cooler.…
