It could be just me.. but I think not.... It sure seems like there have been more overcast days than sunny days this year. Particularly, this spring. Though I have to admit, that's starting the day in the 50's and ending the day at or about 70° is an uncommonly…
At 6:30 a.m. The air is a crispy 50°. It's noisy out.. the constant hum of rubber on blacktop from the bypass, the birds song in the trees, even the roar of train Wheels on railroad tracks.... Such of the sounds of pre-dawn here at my home.... Later... On the…
Saturday Yes, it is spring... Enjoy the day... Catch you on the other side...
Monday afternoon The day started out in the upper 60s... It's now in the mid '70s. It's misted rain all day long. The prognosticators are foretelling of an overnight low in the upper 50s where the rain in the forecast. Tomorrow's high should be about the same as today. But…
