Happy Birthday Sis It was a wild and stormy night, thunder rumbled and lightning flash ed almost all of it. Just as it seemed the thunder and lightning show was over, just as I would begin to drift off to sleep again, thunder would boom and rumble... It's still lightly…
It's 68° and raining. Thunderstorms are moving through the area... And according to all the forecasts they will be all week. Yesterday was rainy off and on, Sunday was rainy almost all day, and from the looks of the radar today will be a wet one. But hey, my laundry…
It definitely feels like summer outside this morning. The temperature when I woke up was 78°. The humidity is so high it's like a slap in the face when you walk outside. And while the precipitation chances are high today, the last I saw the predicted amount of precipitation is…
Mother's Day It's a blustery Sunday morning. It's warm enough, they say there's a chance of rain. From looking at the weather forecast for the whole USA, cold air is dropping down into the south... Just not quite here. And not quite today. Today looks to be stormy in the…
I woke up this morning to the sound of thunder. Not quite like last weekend when the lightning strikes were fast and furious, close to the house. But just an occasional rumble, a barely audible, just on the edge of awareness, grumble in the distance. Like rain was falling. And…
By the time I start my school day coffee muses, I'm actually already starting my third cup of the day. I start my first cup after I wake the kids as they get ready for school. My second cup I pour and take to the car to go sit at…
Happy Birthday Caitlin Today marks the anniversary of the birth of our youngest child. Three decades and one year ago, or so my granddaughter informed me this morning, our last child was born. Happy birthday dear. This is another, in a long line of other, overcast and overwarm spring morning.…
It's another overcast morning at our place. Radar shows scattered showers all around us. It's kind of blustery... The trees are dancing in the cool, cool breezes. The temperature this morning, 59°. The prognosticators are forecasting even lower overnight temperatures tonight. I love these short interludes of actual springtime weather.…
It's another misty rainy morning in Southeast Texas. The temperature is a mild 65°. The air is full of mist, it's barely falling, mostly just floating in the air. But the trees are dripping, dripping, dripping... It's not stopping the birds from singing though. There's a change coming. Cool fronts…
It's a bit cool, a bit rainy, and a bit windy. It actually feels better than it has for a number of days on the back porch. Sitting here with my coffee watching the trees dance is kind of pleasant for us Sunday morning. But there's rain in the forecast…
It's a pleasant, if rainy, start to a spring day. Temperatures in the low 60s. The whole time we waited for the bus this morning it rained. Sometimes lightly, sometimes heavier. Luckily, as both kids walk to the bus, it was mostly lite. As always, if it's Tuesday, it must…
Yesterday's front left the air crystal clear. Left the sky cloudless and blue. Left the temperature much more seasonable. And left bird watchers anticipating a fall out event. This morning's temperature is a pleasant 51°. According to windy.com, the wind is blowing out of the Northwest at 16 mph. I…
Once again, it's overcast and 68°. This has been one of the most overcast winters I can recall. I was reading a post at Space City Weather and they had a piece about how we are so far behind in rain this year. I must admit, for all of the…
Heavily overcast, unseasonably warm at 68°. There's rain in the forecast, just not today. There's a bit of a cool down coming, again, just not today. Even the birds don't seem to be announcing spring as they have in the last week. It's rather quiet outside. Almost as if mother…
I've already opened the windows this morning. The outside temperature is 59°. Overnight the house held a 69° temperature. With the forecast high being in the seventies today, and lows overnight being forecast for the mid to upper 60s, I assume it will be time to kick over to AC…
Sunday morning, sunny and 52°. Not a cloud in the sky. Just a hint of a breeze. It's funny the only hint of green on the ground is next door where the grass burned. Everywhere else it's as brown as I've ever seen it. We just aren't used to day…
The ground is soggy, water standing everywhere from the overnight rain. We've slipped back into our normal winter weather. It's 49° outside. Not only does it have the feel of winter, it has the look too. Even the traffic on the road, as we waited for the buses, was moving…
Chee... I got a little busy this morning and forgot to post this. Not that I had a lot to say. Spent most of the day reading. Doing chores. Just another Tuesday in paradise... oops I mean Texas. The day started out at 39°, it's now 75°. That's a bit…
From the deep freeze of winter, to pleasant mornings of spring, the temperature this morning is 55°. The forecast high for today is 71°. That means by early afternoon the temperature on my back porch with the sun shining down should reach almost 80°. Life in my little piece of…
Winter has decided to move back north and let some spring in the air... The temperature this morning is 56°. It should be 70° on the back porch by the afternoon. That's pretty much what the rest of the week is going to look like, at least according to the…
It's frosty out this morning. A cool 28°. A beautiful cloudless winter morning. The yard is probably the brownest I can recall seeing in a couple of decades. I can't recall this many consecutive days of below freezing weather. It's funny how I haven't felt the need to sit out…
It's 10:00 a.m. and 38° outside. The one result surviving the rolling blackouts is that we're sleeping later each morning. I can't go on for long, school will start again on Monday. But even going to bed at a normal time finds us dragging out of bed at a non-normal…
Well it's late. Afternoon actually. Our power came back on at 10:00 p.m. on the money. And surprisingly, it stayed on. After making the rounds of the house and making sure everything was copacetic, I went to bed in my own bed at 10:45 p.m. for the first time since…
Working on our third day of rolling blackouts. I don't think they figured out how to make the blackouts roll though. We've had two periods of power each 30 minutes long one on Monday, one on Wednesday. The tough part right now is that you can't buy gas get by…
I woke up this morning due to the chill in the air in the house. Overnight, the house is temperature had dropped to 58°. Not bad, compared to some of my neighbors, one of whom reported last night on Facebook that her house was at 47°. Compared to the outside…
It's still 23° outside. The low tonight is supposed to be 12°. Our electricity has been out all day. We don't expect it to be back on anytime soon. Guess I'll have to throw another log on the fire and hope it keeps us above freezing. Stay warm everyone.
It's 36° and chilly with a wind chill in the mid twenties. The countdown is on for the coming winter storm. Everyday that goes by, the forecast below for Monday night drops a little lower. As of right now it's set at 13°. Now that is very, very cold for…
Baby it's cold outside... 37° at 7:30 a.m., there's a steady wind blowing, and a lot of moisture in the air. All day yesterday, where the forecast called for rising temperatures, that kept falling. Forecasted low last night was only 40°. It's below that now. The forecast says it's going…
Dense fog this morning has turned the world into mostly shades of gray. And with a moderate 63° outside air temperature, it's really hard to anticipate the low 30s the prognosticators are foretelling for the end of the week. Well I took my birthday road trip yesterday, and I must…
It's not very cool out, just 56°. But it's quite windy, and misting a bit of rain. The wind chimes on the front porch have been making a racket all morning long. The prognosticators have placed the chance of rain at 60% today. Driving out to wait for the bus,…
And once again... Just because I can and I'm obsessed with her voice...... https://youtu.be/axfNDZXkUOY
Another misty, overcast, warm spring like day. The birds are happy with the weather being so warm, it even sounds like spring. I can hear the chickens, or the roosters, cooing in their cages around the corner. The prognosticators are foretelling of a cool front blowing the clouds away this…
It's another hazy, overcast, almost cool fall morning. The second train of the morning is going through town. And a bird I like to call the squeaky gate bird is calling from the pine trees. It's probably just a secondary call of a blue jay, since I usually hear it…
I had to open the umbrella again this morning... Clear skys, bright sunshine, slightly foggy air made it unbearably, glaringly brite. Opening the umbrella I woke a anole that had taken refuge inside the closed fabric... he is still roaming the fabric looking for breakfast. The morning an hour after…
Not much to say this morning. I overslept. The cool front has become not so cool. I was able to snap the above shots before heading in to throw together a quickie breakfast. As I type this I still haven't had that first sip of coffee. So the weekend is…
I love weekends. Before covid, I slept in most days... even through the summer I didn't have to get up early. Now that school has started, and virtual school does keep a school schedule, I'm up before the sun five days a week. So... I love weekends... again. I doubt…
Overcast. That's what the day is starting with. And, if the prognoticaters are correct the next ten days will be much the same. Last evening this phone was at 39% charged the last time I looked at it. When I went into the office to grab it off the charger,…
It's warm outside... warmer than normal for this time of year. Almost as warm as it is inside. And the heat is on. Outside it's 65º... inside it's 68º. And, it's overcast. The prognosticators have been foretelling of storms forming by tomorrow... and not the metaphorical storms caused by the…
It's just after noon on this mid month Sunday. Ten days before Christmas and the weather feels anything but Christmas like. We are headed towards 80º today. At least it's breezy. So much so that the air is full of goldenrod seeds. I keep watching the fallen leaves scud along…
Another summer morning hanging on into fall. A bit of morning fog hangs low over the neighbor's yard. The warm stillness feels like a too long goodbye to summer. It's also another morning of impeachment news and, of course, Presidential Tweets. In other news, the prognosticators are foretelling of a…
Light rain falling as I step out on the back porch for this morning coffee muses.
Another cool, wet start on the front porch, the kids are back in school, my better half is back at work... and the sun hasn't shown itself yet on this morning coffee muses.
