Monday It's overcast this morning. I'm pleasantly cool on the front porch with just a bit of humidity in the air from the rain yesterday morning. Once again the morning is filled with the call of the construction wildlife. A piercing beep, beep, beep, beep as the vehicle's on the…
Saturday Jeep in field - 2007 Walkin' the dogs - 2010 Another walk in the woods - 2010 Watching the construction around the corner I was struck when this song by the Eagles came up in my que... The photos above are all of the woods and fields that no…
Friday Waiting for the bus before 7:00 a.m., and it's already very warm out. The temperature for the day is 79°. And the sun is just starting to shine through the trees. Hopefully, the rain the prognosticators are fortelling of will get here next week. We really, really could use…
Thursday Happy birthday sis... Sitting on the front porch, between buses, I am still not used to the view that takes me all the way to the traffic on the bypass. The land clearing has now reached the property lines at the back of the houses and businesses across the…
Wordless Wednesday Mimosa Chaste Tree Chaste Tree
Tuesday It was cooler than expected this morning out on the front porch. And there was a bit of a fog hanging low in the open spaces... Just not under the tree canopy. I've been thinking a lot these last few days about my history with this blog... journal... morning…
Thursday We lucked into one of the cooler mornings of the summer season. The temperature this morning at the time of the first bus is 65°. The sun is beginning to light the trees. The sound of the day is the song of the cardinal. One of the most common…

Tuesday In my own mind I like to break summer in Houston into four phases. We can do this in Houston because “summer” season lasts so long, typically about five months. This is contrast to meteorological summer, which runs from June through August, and “solstice” summer, which runs from June…
Monday It's a breezy, mockingbird morning. A little two-seater sports car just tried to hit 65 mph down my little two lane road. It's already warm out. My phone says it's 79° already... And truthfully, it feels at least that warm. I'm sitting on the front porch once more, waiting…
Friday There is a bit of ground fog this morning. We had a great light show last night as the front moved through. It was one of the better thunder and lightning events of the year. And... I woke up to an empty house this morning. The daughter and grandkids…
Thursday, Cinco de Mayo When I walked out with my granddaughter this morning I did something I haven't done before... I pulled up the podcast app on my phone. The first thing I listened to was Birdnote, a short little daily podcast about birds. By the time I walked out…
Monday Both kids are on the buses. The light out hasn't changed all morning. The heavy overcast is keeping it gloomy. And on this Monday morning, I don't have much to say... so I won't say much at all. Everyone have a great day, I'll catch you on the other…
Friday Another day of staying off my feet as much as possible. But another day of reading and listening to music. I'm sitting on the front porch. Waiting for school bus number two, while watching an idiot in a van pass another van on our too narrow little road. It's…
Thursday I'm sitting on the front porch this morning. The second bus is just picked up a grandkid. Birds are singing. And the air is still spring-like for a bit... I saw that the Space City Weather was saying yesterday that this may be the last of our spring-like weather.…

Tuesday That's overcast and cool this morning. A slight breeze is blowing... I don't have much to say this morning so I won't say anything else... Have a great day and I'll catch you on the other side.
Monday I'm sitting on the front porch today, watching the kids get on the bus. It's already starting to get warmer. But, the world is green and filled with bird song. According to the prognosticators, you should see some clouds and precipitation sometime later today. We actually had a shower…
Friday Another overcast day in southeast Texas. It's already 74°. Headed up to 83 today... The forecast says it's only supposed to be partly cloudy today. I'm sure the sun will come out sometime. But with the temperatures being where they are, I'm in no hurry to see the sun.…
Thursday Back home after a week and a day in the hospital. I was actually out of it for a little longer than that, but most of my issues are behind me now. I'll let it go at that... I almost missed the last of the greening out of my…
Saturday Yes, it is spring... Enjoy the day... Catch you on the other side...
Friday, April Fools Day I do not have much to say today... I'd rather not make a fool of myself... There seem to be enough fools in the world today... So, on that note, y'all stay safe, stay healthy, and pray for our dysfunctional nation and the world.
Thursday I've recently been wandering through the memories of for decades ago. One of those memories is of the years I worked on the Annual Western Heritage Sale we worked on back in the late 70's and early 80's. It was an interesting couple of weeks each year. The sale…

Tuesday The temperature outside this morning is 69°. The sky is overcast. A slight breeze is blowing.
Monday https://youtu.be/f8-OoESVIXU Spring is working at showing it's colors... Watching the different trees of the same species as they leaf out on different schedules is fun. Some of the oaks have already reached that spring green color... While the tree beside them is just breaking bud. The bald cypress are…

Thursday It's another cool morning. With totally clear skies, a moon hanging above the pines... Maybe I should say half a moon. According to the wunderground, temperatures in the lower 40s... Windy.com though is calling it the low 50s. After visiting the outside, I think I agree with the wunderground...…
