The coffeepot was still brewing when I came out... The back porch is pleasantly cool, the sun is bright, and the sky is clear. I have even turned the ceiling fans on... Way down low... Just to move the air around a little between breezes. My granddaughter brought me my…
It's another breezy overcast start to the day. The world is green. The coffee is hot. My wife is home again for another day. And I'm on the back porch listening to crows in the distance. This morning as I walked out, I heard a number of bluebirds singing in…
This is the kind of spring morning in Southeast Texas that you just want to cherish. Blue skies, low temperatures, hello humidity. The temperature this morning 63°. I can see the latest update to Android is going to take some getting used to {period} it seems as if suddenly you…
It definitely feels like summer this morning... Early summer at least. It was 76° when I woke up this morning. Humidity had fallen the double pained windows in the house. According to the prognosticators the projected high for the day is 86°. The really funny thing in the forecast is…
I already miss the cool morning temperature of yesterday. It's 71° outside this morning. It's going to be a hot one today. Looking at the satellite images and the radar images there's just a bit of moisture moving in off the gulf. As you can see in the images above…
It's just another overcast and cloudy sky day. It's warm, it's muggy, and the prognosticators are saying there's a good chance of rain coming with the cool front... That hopefully, will blow through sooner rather than later. As I was sitting out at the road waiting for the buses this…
Well, the rain's finally broken... Or maybe I should say the rains have moved east. The temperature outside is 73°. The driveway is still covered in water as it rained a bit overnight. As a matter of fact as I headed for bed last night I could hear the dull…
It's a comfortable 69° out this morning as a light rain falls. We are still under a flash flood watch or warning, I can never keep them straight. The Cardinals are singing now out in the rain. But other than that it's quiet. I can't even hear the murmur of…
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 a cool 61° on the back porch this morning. The Cardinals are chirping. The roosters around the corner are for lack of a better term, The spring flowers in the yard are fading. I guess I'm going to have to eventually fire up the mower and attack the high…
Earth Day It's another beautiful spring morning. The temperature is 54°. The sun is rising a little earlier each day. As we sit out waiting for the buses, a majority of the cars traveling the road no longer have their headlights on. I've also noticed it's quieter out these past…
Waiting for the bus this morning, it's chilly out... And windy... As you can see the thermometer on the car says it's 48°, and watching the bushes and the trees dance in the wind tells me I'm under dressed. But, the winds have swept the skies clear of clouds. The…
I sure have to love the sunrise this morning. Not only was it colorful, it was a nice, cool, 52°. Though lacking in my normal appreciation of the bird song as it was kind of quiet. Also lacking this morning was the North breeze that's been blowing since Sunday. Not…
It's a cool, cool mostly sunny morning. The pictures above were taken between buses. Now after the second bus it's bright outside and the sun is shining and it's 50°. When we first walked out it was 48°, cooler than I expected. On my agenda today is my second covid-19…
I'm a bit late this morning. But the wet misty weather has broken. And at 53°, the temperature is very spring like. We'll be back into our precursor to summer shortly. These past few days, I've noticed the Texas privet is blooming in the backyard in a manner and abundance…
Stepping out this morning it's definitely cooler, not that cool though, the thermometer reads 66°. The air is heavy with moisture. There's a fine mist settling and blowing everywhere. Enough of a breeze blows to shake the moisture off the tree leaves. The constant drip drip drip of water hitting…
I was surprised when I walked out this morning to find the temperature at 53°. It's been a couple of days since the " cool front " moved through, so I really wasn't expecting it. I don't even think the forecast called for it to be that low. Also, not…
The color green has over taken the world these days. With a little splashes of white and pink and blue and purple scattered around the yard. And there are splashes blue and red and brown and russet scattered amongst the trees. It's wildflowers scattered around the yard and birds scattered…
The air is heavy with moisture. There's a light fog hanging close to the ground. And a heavy dew has coated everything with big fat water droplets. As we said at the end of the driveway waiting for the bus, great big fat water droplets make patterns on the windshield.…
Well spring has truly arrived. I can see hints of green even around the mostly bare pecan trees. The morning temperature is 69°. The air is dry, there was no dew on the windows of the car this morning. The morning birdsong is everywhere around the yard. Hummingbirds flit like…
There's a layer of fog hanging in the air this morning. Which means, not a breeze is stirring. The temperature is already above 60°. And, it'll be heading much higher today. Sitting out waiting on the school bus, I saw three pairs of whistling ducks flying over. I haven't yet…
4.3.21 Just a tad bit warmer this morning at 57°. And the sun is hiding above the clouds. Though the forecast calls for more sun than clouds. It's still out this morning, nary a breeze stirring. There's a plane flying over, and a train whistling on the tracks. So even…
Another pleasantly cool spring morning, it's 52°. Just a light breeze blowing. An almost cloudless sky. Bright spring sunshine. Walking out on the back porch this morning I spooked Blue Jay on the feeder. Since it's a bit late, I didn't hear the morning bird song I've been hearing the…
April Fool's Day It's a bit nippy out this morning. 54° when I walked out. And breezy, very breezy... Winds out of the Northeast. But for once, the sky is clear. I think I've mentioned here before that this was my grandpa's Sewell's favorite day of the year. He enjoyed…
Once again the skies are overcast. The temperature is 69 degrees this morning. There's a chance of rain this afternoon. And the birds are filling the air with birdsong. Really for the first time in a long time I'm sitting in the rockers on the back porch... Watching springs bursting…
Mother nature decided to impress us with a cool morning today. Here at my place we started the morning at 48°, with a heavy dew on the ground. The winds that were blowing the past few days have settled. And as the daylightened, and I went out to the car…
It's another dark and overcast morning. We're starting out fairly warm at 71°. There's a chance of rain all weekend long... We'll just have to wait and see. Can't help but green up the browns of winter... As I was taking the photos above, I saw the first whistling ducks…
Wow, talk about a day with a split personality... There are clouds in the eastern half of the sky, but perfectly blue sky to the west. Yesterday's satellite image showed the same dichotomy but the clouds were east of Galveston Bay. Temperatures are a bit higher today, but only a…
Another bright, but cool, spring like morning. Two in a row. It's 48°, without cloud in the sky. A nice way to end a week. I got my notice yesterday to schedule my covid-19 vaccination. So, for right now, I'm scheduled for Monday morning. And I only have to drive…
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…
