Friday, July 21
It was hot to the point of sweat running down on the front porch this morning. It was also loud, the sounds from the bypass sounding much closer than their quarter mile distance. So, since I'm running so behind have some photos... More later.... Gotta go do Deere meditations.
Vacation Pictures – Day 1
Yeah, I know. I procrastinate way to much. But I finally pulled the photo's off the camera memory card. Here's the shots from the day we arrived... Sunday, June 25 I'll post another set tomorrow.
The View From My Desk
This is what I see every time I look up from the keyboard for the past couple of weeks. It's almost enough to have me singing along with the "Boss"... Listen to more Bruce Springsteen at Wolfgang's Vault.

Afternoon Walk In Nature…Boy Is It Ever Hot Here
The heat of the day arrived at about the same time I arrived at Brazos Bend State Park just the other side of the Brazos River from us off of FM 1462 and FM 762.
Hunting Spring Wildflowers In Texas
Some of the shots I took yesterday as I played on a roadtrip into Texas Spring... I try each year to make a day trip into the closest wildflower country to my home. The trip takes about two hours just to start seeing good fields of color. Usually, I begin…
One Day In SE Texas In Spring
[ti_billboard name="Spring Day"] We took a drive around the county yesterday...Me and my Nikon. The slideshow above has some of the results...I hope you enjoy.
Spring Break…In Spring Even
For some reason this year my wife has spring break off. It makes no sense, she could never get spring break off when we, you know, actually had kids off on spring break. But this year she has spring break off. Guess what? Grandson #2 is all ours each and…
Morning Haze In My Backyard
morning haze; as in a painting of a dream men go their ways Buson ~ (via The Haiga Pages) The sun rising through the morning mist last week drew me out my backdoor armed with my third eye...After letting the image stew for a week it felt done...
Happy Thanksgiving
We are spending the day with family...So from my walk yesterday... I hope everyone has a great day...
A New Day Dawning…
Three years ago this month we were on Padre Island celebrating our 28th. Two years ago, it was the Blue Ridge Mountains and our 29th. Last year it was the Texas Hill Country and our 30th...This year we haven't made plans...Yet. Blogging has been slow here lately. I am not…
Rain…Did Someone Say Rain?
These clouds are moving south just west of us this evening. We have already had an hour or more of heavy rain...All soaked in. Nobody was anticipating this. The temperature after the rains moved through was registering 72°...Now back up at 76°. The lightning was amazing! The wind was blowing!…
This is not the way I want to start my day…
Currently (on Thu 5:53AM CDT from Pearland Regional Airport) Cloudy Temp: 81° (Heat Index 87°) Dewpoint: 75° Wind: Calm MPH I stepped out on the back steps this morning as the coffee pot dripped and ran into a wall of heat. Yesterday at this time it the thermometer was reading 72°. What a…

Roadtrip Time In Texas
I decided that I needed a roadtrip to hunt for the fields of Bluebonnets that bloom this time of year a few counties to the north and west. Yesterday I made the decision that today would be the day, come what may. It almost looked as if I'd be trying…
Monday Morning Backs Into Winter
I woke up this morning to a blustery north wind driving temperatures into the 40's. Tonight the weather prognosticators are predicting lows in the 30's. It would appear winter (at least our kind of winter) isn't through with SE Texas. As I wait for springs return and the yard work honey-dews that will accompany it, here are some more of my spring photo's fropm last week...
Sunday Morning In SE Texas
The day started out overcast but by 10am the clouds were mostly moved out. Temperatures are already mid 70's outside. It should be what would pass for a beautiful summer day in most parts of the country...Here it's just spring! More spring shots from my afternoon walk of the other…
Spring Has Sprung…Fully
We had a "cool" front blow through here this morning...Cool is now at 71° and rising. The front brought an hour or so of rain and then clear blue sky. The real sign of spring though is the cardinals, you know...Red birds chasing other red birds out of their perceived…
Lost Month Muse
I have been spending a lot of my online time updating my websites, trying to figure out a use to make of twitter, and trying (and failing) to catch up on my photoblog. Tied for first place this month has been playing Grandpa. Chief cook and bottle washer for the…
And the good news keeps on coming
The deepening recession has eroded the financial standing and optimism of a broad swath of Americans, nearly two-thirds of whom say that they have been hurt by the downturn and that the country has slipped into long-term economic decline. In New Poll, 63 Percent of Americans Say They Have Suffered…
Looking Back…A Week Ago Today

Google Calendar – You have no events scheduled today.
Turning The Page Sherry and I had scheduled this past weekend as a four day celebration a long time ago. Making sure we both had arrangements to take Friday and Monday off appproved and on the calendars at work. Gifts were bought, resrvations were made, plans were set...we were celebrating…
Musing for a Sunday Morning…
Leon Hale's weekly column this morning reached back to before my birth...But, he touched a chord even so. The final lines though really rang true... I guess what got me going on television is that just lately we installed a new set in the old country house at Winedale. One…
Another Hurricain Ike Muse…
After the storm, once you realize you've lived through another, your awareness of your surroundings is contracted. You begin by wandering around just your own little space surrounding your home...Checking for damage, fixing the immediate needs if possible. Then you begin to expand your awareness to your neighbors. First you…
