Tuesday, December 26th 'Tis the day after Christmas.. and winter has returned. The morning temperature, though not as cool as expected, is still 44°. Overnight a band of clouds has stretched along the Texas coast ( and probably the Louisiana coast too) like a warm fluffy blanket to keep in…

Saturday, December 23rd It's another overcast morning. The temperature is 64° on the 3rd day of winter. The prognosticators are calling for rain today and tomorrow. Last night before bed I was scrolling through the YouTube's and saw a video that had been in my suggested queue for a few…
2023 Day 355
Thursday, December 21st - Winter solstice It's the first day of winter... And the low temperature this morning was 60°. It's the dichotomy of living on the Texas Gulf Coast that the days that look like winter are usually the warmer days of the season. And the days of the…

2023 Day 353
Tuesday, December 19th There was some wonderful pre-sunrise color this morning. Though at 40° the back porch was just a bit chilly. As I stood there and watched the show, birds were singing all around me. By the time the sun had cleared the horizon, the color had washed out…
2023 Day 352
Monday, December 18th As the sun comes up the skies are clear with a ground haze drifting through. The temperature this morning is it chilly? 41°. And yet, the prognosticators are foretelling of a high today of at least 70°... And so, here we are, a week before Christmas. And…
2023 Day 350
Saturday, December 16th There are only a handful of leaves left on the Red oak out back. So, I do not feel the need or the desire to continue emphasizing its image. The morning overcast is not as full as it has been. The openings in the clouds are providing…

2023 Day 346
Tuesday, December 12th It was much warmer this morning. And it's warmer still.. now that the sun is up. From the looks of things, we'll be back in the 70s by the weekend. I've been thinking a lot here lately about collecting. I spent my whole life collecting things. As…
2023 Day 345
Monday, December 11th As the sun sets on a Sunday evening. It's a cold and frosty morning... Most of the color is on the ground! The season is mostly fall-en. It's probably as close as we're going to get to snow on the ground.
2023 Day 344
Sunday, December 10th The cold front that blew through last night has brought a return to fall, but tonight winter will arrive as the temperature plunges to 34°. At least that's the foretelling of the prognosticators... But, the winds of the night did a good job of stripping the color…
2023 Day 342
Friday, December 8th The day is dark and dreary. Warmish and damp. When I woke up this morning it was already 67°. Water was standing in the driveway. Windrows of blown damp leaves rested in piles like sand dunes on a beach. Out back the red oak leaves are falling..…
2023 Day 341
Thursday, December 7th It's another chilly morning on the back porch. The temperature is 44°. I must admit, we've had a remarkable run of sunrises and sunsets. Just beautiful starts and finishes each day.

Tuesday, December 5th Once again the morning is chilly. Even now it is 49° outside. It's just a bit chilly in the house too. Though, the temperature is still above where it would cause the heater to kick on. But since the days are still mild, I haven't turned the…
December Sunset
2023 Day 338
Monday, December 4th It's chilly out this morning. Almost too chilly for shorts and a t-shirt.. almost. While waiting for the sun to come up this morning, a song from an album of Rodney Crowell's first published in 1994 came up on my playlist. The album name caught my eye…

Friday, December 1st After more than 2 inches of rain yesterday, this morning dawned very, very foggy... 100% humidity. And it feels anything but fall like outside. The temperature this morning is 66°. But, the fall color is still working its way into the landscape...
2023 Day 334
Thursday, November 30th It's a damp but warm-ish morning. The weather prognosticators have been foretelling of a possible "weather event" for today. They began casting their warnings a couple of days ago.. One of the nice things about damp air and overcast skies is it brings out the fall colors…

2023 Day 332
Tuesday, November 28th I was out enjoying the sunset on the back porch where it was still but cool when I realized that I never posted this post this morning... So as I enjoy the relatively cool 57° with the sun just touching the top of the trees still... I…
2023 Day 331
Monday, November 27th This morning the pre-dawn light brightened a chili start to the day. The low for the night bottom doubted 39° according to my phone. The morning light tends to add more color to the trees than is actually there.. strangely the predominant color around here as we…
