It’s 78° outside and humid enough to drown frogs! It’s awful. I’ve been to Houston a couple of times in my life and Puerto Rico once and it’s almost that bad here today. Which means there is a front headed our way with thunderstorms tomorrow most likely. Good thing we have a good A/C system.Continue reading “Texas Weather, Ugh”

Lazy, Cold Day
It’s in the low 40’s today but feels more like the mid 30’s, damp and overcast. Brad is in his Man Cave, I heard him on the pistol range a little while ago. I’ve got my knitting to work on and Midsomer Murders streaming on Roku. He made us each an afternoon cup of coffeeContinue reading “Lazy, Cold Day”
Goodbye, January
We are about to say goodbye to January but our chances for icy weather will be around for a bit yet. This photo was taken last February 24th, Brad’s birthday. I half expected to wake up to something similar this morning but we didn’t get the precip that was forecast and it seems to beContinue reading “Goodbye, January”
Soup, At Last
I got the Black Bean Soup started and simmering about 3:30 yesterday afternoon and took it off the burner at 6 pm after enough of the broth had reduced. I froze half of it and put the other half in the fridge. We had a late lunch that was very filling and we only hadContinue reading “Soup, At Last”
Late Night, Busy Morning
We’ve been busy this morning and I’m finally sitting down to the laptop. The house is clean, and open to the fresh air and sunshine. It’s 70° with a light breeze and low humidity. We both had long naps yesterday afternoon but still slept all night. It’s nearly noon and we had a late breakfast.Continue reading “Late Night, Busy Morning”
Good Morning Monday!
By 8 am the sun was creeping over the tops of the trees, frost on the ground started to disappear, blue skies and big fluffy clouds floating by. Gorgeous Monday morning. I’m looking forward to our morning walk shortly. It’s already 50° at 10 am so we might be able to have the front doorContinue reading “Good Morning Monday!”
9th Day of Christmas
We started the year off with 70°, sunny and the house open to a light breeze. Even for Texas this is unusual weather. It’s cloudy today, in the low 60’s with thunderstorms on the way. The temps will stay in the 60’s and 70’s for the next couple of days. I picked out a fewContinue reading “9th Day of Christmas”
7th Day of Christmas And The End Of Another Year
We start off the day with the fact that it is the 7th Day of Christmas and later tonight we will be celebrating New Year’s Eve. It’s a quiet day here in our little corner of Texas. No parties, no platters of food, just life as usual but we’re taking time to remember the dayContinue reading “7th Day of Christmas And The End Of Another Year”
Grandma And Grandad Go To The Vet!
These are our daughter’s sweet girls. Hava on the left, Magen on the right. They are eight months old and doing well. Magen weighs seven pounds less than Hava but I think Hava has had a growth spurt and Magen will soon catch up to her. They don’t have to go back until next AugustContinue reading “Grandma And Grandad Go To The Vet!”
