2023 Day 345
Monday, December 11th As the sun sets on a Sunday evening. It's a cold and frosty morning... Most of the color is on the ground! The season is mostly fall-en. It's probably as close as we're going to get to snow on the ground.
2023 Day 342
Friday, December 8th The day is dark and dreary. Warmish and damp. When I woke up this morning it was already 67°. Water was standing in the driveway. Windrows of blown damp leaves rested in piles like sand dunes on a beach. Out back the red oak leaves are falling..…
2023 Day 338
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…
2023 Day 335
Friday, December 1st After more than 2 inches of rain yesterday, this morning dawned very, very foggy... 100% humidity. And it feels anything but fall like outside. The temperature this morning is 66°. But, the fall color is still working its way into the landscape...
2023 Day 334
Thursday, November 30th It's a damp but warm-ish morning. The weather prognosticators have been foretelling of a possible "weather event" for today. They began casting their warnings a couple of days ago.. One of the nice things about damp air and overcast skies is it brings out the fall colors…
2023 Day 318
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…
2023 Day 317
Monday, November 13th It's a rainy cool Monday. While the temperature is only 61°, the dampness makes it feel much cooler.. though the wind blowing from the north probably sucks just a few degrees out of the air. It's pretty much been just like this since Friday. Though after our…
2023 Day 304
Tuesday, October 31st It's another wintry morning... At least as far as South East Texas winters go... Overcast, breezy, and quite cool for this time of year. I guess that is to be expected after our unseasonably hot and long summer. I must admit this is not an evening. I…
Not so fall like
November 26th
Saturday The rains have finally moved out after dropping almost 6" in 2 days. Had the fall color progression has started. Yesterday was the first time I spotted color over most of the oak tree. And today seems to be covering even more. The cold spell we had last week…
November 24th
Thanksgiving Thursday After the summer we've had, I feel I should be giving thanks for the rain we are having... But as much as I love slow and steady, 2 inches in 2 hours is a bit much! Of course, when you are expecting 20 people for dinner, and all…
November 15th
Tuesday It's another gloomy winter like morning. Yesterday's rain totaled over an inch, but just barely. And today's overcast isn't doing much to warm the morning. Yesterday afternoon I spent some time on YouTube catching the Austin City Limits Festival acts. And that led me to a really nice rendition…

monday It's comfortable out... And breezy... And from the forecast, the temperature is only going to rise a few degrees before it starts to fall again. I think I can really say, fall has arrived. Evidently, the front has already passed through my area. What with the strong breeze out…

saturday I barely beat the sun up this morning... And, this morning is once again very pleasantly in the upper 60's... Blue skies and calm winds... Enjoy the weekend.
october thirteenth
thursday On the front porch again. And it's actually getting darker as a cool front blows through the area. Off to the north and east thunder rumbles. Hopefully, the grandkids will get on the bus before it decides to rain. Last evening before sunset we had a relatively small thunderstorm…

Where, Oh Where Is Winter? https://youtu.be/lv5AiHa5bZM This week has been very wintery looking at least... Though, truth be told, it hasn't felt at all seasonable. Overcast skies... Winds... But, temperatures keep topping out in the 70's and 80's... Even today. with a weather change in the forecast, most of the…

Tuesday https://youtu.be/sXqvcVjDnu8 It was another beautiful fall morning. Clear skies, a bit of haze hugging the ground, seasonably cool temperatures... The absolute best that fall has to offer this deep in the South... Last night before bed I played yesterday's video on YouTube on the TV. My wife made the…

Friday https://youtu.be/f5qwTaOLAo0 There's a pleasure in visiting the outdoors when both the temperature and the humidity meet in the lower 70s. And this morning I reaped the benefits of that pleasure when the temperature was 73° with a 73% humidity. I really do understand that this is just a preview…

Another prelude to winter. A reflection of winters long ago. Damp, cold, short dreary days followed by short dreary days. If this continues it will be a fitting end to the long and dreary year of Covid-19. A fitting end to a long four dreary years of living in the…
Midafternoon Storms
Lines of thunderstorms have been moving thru all day long... just now another line blew thru... and it really did blow.
Sunday, December 13, 2020
Laying abed this morning, the light coming in from around the blinds was fading as the minutes passed. Now I see why... by the time I arose, the rumbles of distant thunder were making themselves heard. By the time I had acquired my record shots of the morning a mist…
Thursday, December 3, 2020
When I first stepped out on the back porch this morning it was chilly and blustery... the wind chill was pushing the thirties. The overcast was so deep that the sun was doing little to brighten the day. Even now, almost an hour later, it's a dark wintery looking day.…
Tuesday, December 1, 2020
'Tis a frosty morn out this day. An appropriate way to start the final month of 2020. My weather app says it is 30 degrees outside and I believe it. All of my temperature sensors are on porches about the house and they average 3 to 4 degrees warmer. This…
Friday, November 27, 2020
It's a bit on the warm side this morning. And a lite rain is falling. Evidently it's been falling for awhile. The trees are filled with dozens of small birds. The muted colors of fall are more evident in the rain. But I'm still waiting for the full blown color…

It's cold and crisp this morning. The sounds of trains, traffic, and crows fill the pre-sunup day. Birds chirp and chatter. And every breath I take is visible in the air before me. I find myself at a loss for words today. Sitting, listening, thinking... not writing. It's just after…
Friday, November 13, 2020
The morning starts out warm and gray. An overall, overreaching, overwhelming gray to the world. Even the normally unheard cows in the neighbor's pasture are mooing mournfully. This transitional weather leaves a lot to be desired. Waiting for the change, anticipating the change even, frustrated by the slowness of the…
Saturday, October 24, 2020
Ah, Saturday morning. Add in a cool front that had this morning's temperature in the 50's and a cool north breeze and the morning couldn't get much better. Though, I had to open the umbrella to keep the sun's glare out of my eyes so I can enjoy the morning.…
