Happy Birthday Caitlin Today marks the anniversary of the birth of our youngest child. Three decades and one year ago, or so my granddaughter informed me this morning, our last child was born. Happy birthday dear. This is another, in a long line of other, overcast and overwarm spring morning.…

It's a cool 61° on the back porch this morning. The Cardinals are chirping. The roosters around the corner are for lack of a better term, The spring flowers in the yard are fading. I guess I'm going to have to eventually fire up the mower and attack the high…

I don't really have much to say today so I'm just going to post these pictures my three record shots and be done with it... Catch you tomorrow... Enjoy your weekend.
23rd of April, Friday
Yesterday before noon, the sky started hiding behind the clouds. By this morning small batches of rain are moving through the area. The other thing about all of this gulf moisture is, the temperature this morning was already above 70 degrees. The prognosticators are foretelling of an 80 plus percent…
22nd of April, Thursday
Earth Day It's another beautiful spring morning. The temperature is 54°. The sun is rising a little earlier each day. As we sit out waiting for the buses, a majority of the cars traveling the road no longer have their headlights on. I've also noticed it's quieter out these past…
21st of April, Wednesday
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…
20th of April, Tuesday
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…
19th of April, Monday
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…
18th of April, Sunday
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…
17th of April, Saturday
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.…
16th of April, Friday
It's another misty rainy morning in Southeast Texas. The temperature is a mild 65°. The air is full of mist, it's barely falling, mostly just floating in the air. But the trees are dripping, dripping, dripping... It's not stopping the birds from singing though. There's a change coming. Cool fronts…
15th of April, Thursday
Stepping out this morning it's definitely cooler, not that cool though, the thermometer reads 66°. The air is heavy with moisture. There's a fine mist settling and blowing everywhere. Enough of a breeze blows to shake the moisture off the tree leaves. The constant drip drip drip of water hitting…
13th of April, Tuesday
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…
12th of April, Monday
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…
11th of April, Sunday
It's a bit cooler, and dryer and a whole lot windier this morning. At 9:00 a.m. the temperature is 65°. What with the breeze, it's downright chilly. But what a beautiful morning it is. I ended up on the TV late last night. I kind of ended up in a…
10th of April, Saturday
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…
9th of April, Friday
Sometimes it feels as if I'm living in a painting. Chaotic skies, colorful landscapes, seasons passing. It's almost a series... The circle game. Sometimes, even this late in life, I feel just like that child in the song... Wandering through the wonder of life. Living from canvas to canvas to…
The 8th of April, Thursday
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.…
6th of April, Tuesday
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…
5th of April, Monday
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…
4th of April, Easter Sunday
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…
Third of April, Saturday
4.3.21 Just a tad bit warmer this morning at 57°. And the sun is hiding above the clouds. Though the forecast calls for more sun than clouds. It's still out this morning, nary a breeze stirring. There's a plane flying over, and a train whistling on the tracks. So even…
Second of April, Good Friday
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…
Thursday, the 1st of April
April Fool's Day It's a bit nippy out this morning. 54° when I walked out. And breezy, very breezy... Winds out of the Northeast. But for once, the sky is clear. I think I've mentioned here before that this was my grandpa's Sewell's favorite day of the year. He enjoyed…
March 30, Tuesday
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…
March 29, Monday
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…
March 28, Sunday
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…
March 27, Saturday
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…
March 26, Friday
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…
