It's Wordless Wednesday
It's not much... But it is standing in the driveway... And you can hear it dripping... Dripping... Not a gully washer. Not cats and dogs. But it is rain.
It's Thursday There is a promise of rain today, both in the forecast and on the horizon. At some point that promise reaches almost 100%. After teases over the last 3 days, we could really use that promise being fulfilled. The grass and the trees have begun showing more brown…
It's Tuesday Today I got out of bed early and walked out on the porch... Early. The sun hadn't passed the horizon. As a matter of fact, the eastern sky was just a pink glow. Last night, just about bedtime, a small thunderstorm blew over us. It didn't last all…

It's Tuesday There are thunderstorms rolling around, pretty much isolated just over me. Then though the radar map shows there is lightning and thunder off to my east, I'm not hearing it right here. But the clouds are blocking the sun and making it just a bit more pleasant on…
It's Friday It's another warm morning on the front porch. The temperature is 78° and the humidity is at 91%. So as I sit here the fan in the chair is blowing at medium. I'm sure not thrilled by the number of large trucks that feel like they have the…

Monday It's definitely summer. We're starting out the day at 76°. And the crickets and the cicadas are making sure that quietness doesn't intrude upon our morning. I pulled up the WordPress app this morning and it informed me that this is my 15th anniversary on WordPress. That original WordPress…
Thursday I am out on the front porch this morning watching the world go by as the sun gets higher in the sky. It's a bit cooler out today, 74° and it feels a bit less humid. There's a red bird in the chaste tree. Now she's moved to the…

Friday I find myself still sitting on the front porch after the buses have run. This will be my last morning bus run till fall. Today ends another school year, and the grandkids will be home for the summer. This morning has been a morning of train whistles, mockingbird songs…

Tuesday It's overcast... Again. And though the temperature is about the same as yesterday, it doesn't have the feel of coolness that was in the air yesterday. Though, I must admit there is a sweet smell in the air... Probably from the mimosa that's blooming just off the porch. The…
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…
