Waiting for the bus this morning, it's chilly out... And windy... As you can see the thermometer on the car says it's 48°, and watching the bushes and the trees dance in the wind tells me I'm under dressed. But, the winds have swept the skies clear of clouds. The…
I sure have to love the sunrise this morning. Not only was it colorful, it was a nice, cool, 52°. Though lacking in my normal appreciation of the bird song as it was kind of quiet. Also lacking this morning was the North breeze that's been blowing since Sunday. Not…
It's a cool, cool mostly sunny morning. The pictures above were taken between buses. Now after the second bus it's bright outside and the sun is shining and it's 50°. When we first walked out it was 48°, cooler than I expected. On my agenda today is my second covid-19…
I'm a bit late this morning. But the wet misty weather has broken. And at 53°, the temperature is very spring like. We'll be back into our precursor to summer shortly. These past few days, I've noticed the Texas privet is blooming in the backyard in a manner and abundance…
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.…
Wordless Wednesday
I walked out of the house this morning and it was humid and 74°. After my granddaughter got on the bus, it started sprinkling... A slow misty rain that only lasted as long as the drive from the road to the house. I've been sitting here for over an hour…
I was surprised when I walked out this morning to find the temperature at 53°. It's been a couple of days since the " cool front " moved through, so I really wasn't expecting it. I don't even think the forecast called for it to be that low. Also, not…
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…
The air is heavy with moisture. There's a light fog hanging close to the ground. And a heavy dew has coated everything with big fat water droplets. As we said at the end of the driveway waiting for the bus, great big fat water droplets make patterns on the windshield.…
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…
There's a layer of fog hanging in the air this morning. Which means, not a breeze is stirring. The temperature is already above 60°. And, it'll be heading much higher today. Sitting out waiting on the school bus, I saw three pairs of whistling ducks flying over. I haven't yet…
I hope the Easter Bunny was nice to you today. I received my Easter candy last night and had to hide it from myself before I over indulged. It's quiet out today, though, the cacophony of voices telling me I need to mow is getting louder. I like the spring…
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…
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…
Mother nature decided to impress us with a cool morning today. Here at my place we started the morning at 48°, with a heavy dew on the ground. The winds that were blowing the past few days have settled. And as the daylightened, and I went out to the car…
It's a bit cool, a bit rainy, and a bit windy. It actually feels better than it has for a number of days on the back porch. Sitting here with my coffee watching the trees dance is kind of pleasant for us Sunday morning. But there's rain in the forecast…
It's another dark and overcast morning. We're starting out fairly warm at 71°. There's a chance of rain all weekend long... We'll just have to wait and see. Can't help but green up the browns of winter... As I was taking the photos above, I saw the first whistling ducks…
It's a beautiful clear morning. Temperature in the mid 50s. Cloudless skies. Sunshine hitting the tree limbs, making them stand out beautifully. A cool list of the morning will only be with us for the day. Tomorrow we're back up in the sixties, upper sixties. With highs pushing 80 and…
Sunset No coffee muse this morning. So I thought I'd flip it around and just show some photos taken at sunset. I hope you had a wonderful day. Y'all stay safe, stay healthy, and pray for our nation and our world.
Wordless Wednesday
Wow, talk about a day with a split personality... There are clouds in the eastern half of the sky, but perfectly blue sky to the west. Yesterday's satellite image showed the same dichotomy but the clouds were east of Galveston Bay. Temperatures are a bit higher today, but only a…
Another bright, but cool, spring like morning. Two in a row. It's 48°, without cloud in the sky. A nice way to end a week. I got my notice yesterday to schedule my covid-19 vaccination. So, for right now, I'm scheduled for Monday morning. And I only have to drive…
Yesterday's front left the air crystal clear. Left the sky cloudless and blue. Left the temperature much more seasonable. And left bird watchers anticipating a fall out event. This morning's temperature is a pleasant 51°. According to windy.com, the wind is blowing out of the Northwest at 16 mph. I…
Wordless Wednesday, St Patty's Day
It's another hazy, foggy morning. The temperature is 68°. It looks like it ought to be cool, but it's not. But, foggy mornings are definitely quiet. I find myself this morning actually watching Morning Joe. Amazingly, we're still dealing with the aftermath of January the 6th... Insurrection day. Just amazing.…
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…
I've already opened the windows this morning. The outside temperature is 59°. Overnight the house held a 69° temperature. With the forecast high being in the seventies today, and lows overnight being forecast for the mid to upper 60s, I assume it will be time to kick over to AC…
It's foggy out this morning. And with the temperature at 70° with the forecast for it to fall until tomorrow morning, it should be an interesting and wet day. The kids have departed on their buses. I've started my third cup of coffee. The house is quiet. But, outside on…
It's misty out this morning... 69°and damp. We haven't seen but glimpses of the sun in days and days. Ever since that week of freezes, the Earth is visibly browner. The grass, the shrubs, even some trees, have all taken on that seared look. Yesterday I saw pictures on that…
