Friday https://youtu.be/-DpqI0wuFQU For once it actually feels like it looks outside.

Saturday Hurricane Ida I wasn't going to post anything this morning because I slept in... Then I saw this animation of Ida on Windy.com. I started playing with the video recorder and then tried outputting it as a gif... So here we are.
Tuesday Well, the temperature at 74° is quite pleasant, the humidity at 97% is visible in the air as a haze. I'm letting the grandkids get one last day of summer sleep before I start rousting them out of bed early, they're really going to be sad when they start…
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…

It's officially cooler after lunch than it was at the start of the day...
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…
Imelda... she's brought over 24 hours of almost constant rainfall. Somewhere in the 6 - 8 inches of rainfall overnight. And once again the schools around here are closed. So we once more have a houseful. It's gonna be a long day. But even with the rain, the hummingbirds are…
Not musing this morning, had a doctors appointment. Back at the house and it's just been raining all day. Here's what I'm seeing on Wunderground... Hello Imelda.
Another cool rainy start on the front porch... stale smoke odors from the pit... mourning doves providing the background sounds to this morning coffee muses.
