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…
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…
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 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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
It's a pleasant, if rainy, start to a spring day. Temperatures in the low 60s. The whole time we waited for the bus this morning it rained. Sometimes lightly, sometimes heavier. Luckily, as both kids walk to the bus, it was mostly lite. As always, if it's Tuesday, it must…
The morning dawned overcast once again. It also had me up before the sun... The grandkids are back in school. And after the spring forward it's dark out when the buses come by again. My morning has been busy I have to get out the door here in just a…
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…
For the third day in a row, it's a clear skies sunny morning. The temperature is 52°. There's a slight breeze. It's late... I guess I'm milking every day I can out sleeping in before the grandkids go back to school and the alarm starts waking me before the sun...…
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.…
It's a foggy, foggy morning out. The big cool down that was expected last week failed to materialize. The morning low is just 64 degrees. The prognosticators are now aiming at Thursday for our next chance at a more moderate morning temperature. Daylight savings time sure affected the look and…
It's late, always is when we spring forward. It's warm, 71°. It's overcast again. Forecast is for rain, at least showers. Forecasted amounts are low. So mostly, they'll pass us by. And since it's late, my daylight savings time. I need to get up and start breakfast. So this will…
Once again, it's overcast and 68°. This has been one of the most overcast winters I can recall. I was reading a post at Space City Weather and they had a piece about how we are so far behind in rain this year. I must admit, for all of the…
Heavily overcast, unseasonably warm at 68°. There's rain in the forecast, just not today. There's a bit of a cool down coming, again, just not today. Even the birds don't seem to be announcing spring as they have in the last week. It's rather quiet outside. Almost as if mother…
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…
Wordless Wednesday
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…
