A preview of a White Christmas?
At least a SE Texas white Christmas...

It’s a race…
Between the winds and full color.
Once the winds return…
Fall color will be gone before it really arrived.
Fall Color… Finally
At least it's started...
Waiting for the bus…
On a cool fall morning.
Ahhh… Fall
Rainy days and Mondays
A foggy Veterans Day sunrise..
And it actually feels like autumn!
A chance of rain?
Waiting for Fall to Return…

End of the Week Sunrise
It’s still summer…
Even though September is here, Summer's hold on this part of the country is still tight?
Why are summers so long and hot?
I saw on the internets last night that temperature is in the Northeast 40s in places. That was on a day when my back porch temperature at 101°. First time that I've noticed this year... And stepping out on the front porch this morning, the heat was oppressive. Even the…
Electricity Was Coming
The crews lined out street for most of the day. Then this happened... So for the past two hours we've been looking at this... Maybe we'll get power... Eventually...

A very interesting morning. Our power has been out all day. I really don't expect to see power for at least a day or two if not more. And my yard looks like it has been bombed. There's more tree damage than we had during Ike. But, we survived and…
The trees are putting on their summer finery
Mimosa blossoms Chaste tree blooms almost open With temperatures rising above 80° each day, the start of summer is definitely here.
It’s another overcast dawn.
According to the weather prognosticators, most of today will look just like it does right now. Though, our run of 70° temperatures has pretty much come to an end for a while... And those overnight lows in the 50's.. we probably won't see another one of those before fall rolls…
It’s a crisp and noisy morning on the front porch…
At 6:30 a.m. The air is a crispy 50°. It's noisy out.. the constant hum of rubber on blacktop from the bypass, the birds song in the trees, even the roar of train Wheels on railroad tracks.... Such of the sounds of pre-dawn here at my home.... Later... On the…
A return to our very short spring….
I'm standing out on the front porch this morning. Waiting for my grandson to get on the school bus... And I'm struck by how beautiful a spring morning it is. Even though the sun is not up, the birds are singing as if their lives depended upon it. There is…
After the storm…
Wordless Wednesday
Waiting for the buses, early and late…
Two shots, taken an hour apart, from the same location. It's a pleasant spring morning with a temperature in the mid-50s. But judging from the forecast, summer is just around the corner. Here we are , not even a week into April, and the forecasted high today is 86°. Eighty…
It’s after Easter and we’re waiting for the bus…
In the time it took to go from one bus to the next, the outdoor temperature has dropped just enough to go from warmish to coolish. Now if we could just get rid of the pesky mosquitoes...
Midnight shots of the backyard…
Wordless Wednesday
It’s a bit nippy out this morning…
The trip out onto the front porch first thing this morning was really chilly... It was 45° outside. The photo above is taken from the back porch just before the second bus run... 2 weeks ago. This would have been what it looked like at the first bus run. A…
Spring break is over.. schools back in session
After springing forward last week, the sun isn't coming up until the 2nd bus. So, it now seems as though the alarm is going off in the middle of the night... It's just a bit chill this morning on the front porch. The morning low is hanging at 62°. The…
It Ain’t Over Yet…
Every once in awhile you hear a song that stops you in your tracks. This song does it every time I hear it... every damn time! I'm not sure when Rodney Crowell first entered my awareness. I mean he has been bouncing around in there for decades... Hell he's been…
Muses after springing forward…
Tuesday, March 12th I can't recall whether this confluence of events has happened in the past or not. But having a week of spring break for the grandkids follow immediately after the spring time change is a bit strange... To be waking up without an alarm and 2 hours after…
