And it actually feels like autumn!
18 October 2024
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…
Tuesday, December 13th Just another morning on the back porch...
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…
Wordless Wednesday, December 6th
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…

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…
Saturday, November 25th On Thanksgiving Day I saw an image of my red oak tree from 4 years ago. In that image, the tree had already gone through its entire fall color change. So I guess this year fall is a little slow in coming... But, as you can see,…
Friday, November 24th It's kind of a blah morning. After an overcast Thanksgiving, we have an overcast Black Friday. And, since this is the one day of the year that I will never shop on.. we'll be hanging around the house and doing the switch over. You know what I…

Monday, November 20th As we move towards Thanksgiving bits of color are beginning to show. But even so, the predominant color is green.. except at sunrise.

Tuesday, November 14th The prognosticators are calling for another overcast day. But already this morning I can get a glimpse of patches of blue sky. And looking to the east the sun is trying to peek through the overcast. The day long light rain we had yesterday managed to drop…
Thursday, November 9th Happy 45th Anniversary Sherry When we stood before the justice all those years ago. I don't think I ever envisioned being here and now... Somehow.. after all these years.. we've become our grandparents. That was brought home to me as we went through mom's house and found…
Wordless Wednesday, November 8th
Tuesday, November 7th It was another pleasant morning on the front porch shared with the birds. I am enjoying every one we are granted.. we don't get all that many pleasant mornings here. What does it say about expectations when a high forecast of 83° is looked forward to as…
Monday, November 6th Nothing more needs to be said....
Friday, November 3rd
Thursday, November 2nd It's quite chilly out this morning. But at least it's 10° warmer than the record low for this morning. I did notice there was a bit of frost on the roof. 5:47 p.m. I decided it was the perfect afternoon to sit on the back porch. The…
