While the first week of fall was gloriously cool, the second week climbed back into the upper 90’s. Running out of time to walk in the morning hours I headed out to our ‘back forty’ about 5 in the afternoon. And while it was hot and I was plagued by mosquito’s it was still nice…
For the first time in YEARS the first week of fall here in east Texas actually FEELS like the first week of fall! Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy! I awoke to see a brisk 51 degrees on the back porch thermometer, pulled on some jogging pants, a long-sleeve T, grabbed my camera and headed for the…
There is season in everyone’s life that the devil attempts to thwart your efforts at goodness with vigor. He has been breathing down my neck this last month. Or maybe I’m just over-scheduling myself. OR maybe the devil is over-scheduling myself FOR me! yes, that must be it! BINGO! Now, what were we talking about?…
Ever have a day that flies by so quickly that one second you are sipping coffee and the next thing you know its time for supper? Wednesday September the 10th was like that for me. And so I found myself at 6:30 p.m. in the parking lot of First Baptist church with nary a picture…

I don’t know about you people but this summer has flown by for me and mine, I can hardly believe that fall is merely 6 weeks away and I’ve seen more cool weather this month than any October the past 30 years! Craziness, so my walk August 13th was another one blessed by pleasant weather,…

Therefore Wednesday, August 6th 2014 was a short jaunt to the train trestle and back. Here is what I saw. A cute human in shorts, a Hello Kitty! shirt toting a turkey…
Attention everyone! I would like to place an order in advance for next years summer to be exactly like this years summer. We had our third cool front of July this week and another one is on the way to usher in August. This combined with abundant rainfall-perfect summer. My walk July 30th was a…
In spite of the forecast predicting a killer heat wave Wednesday July 23rd, the early morning hours were quite pleasant. I took a different route this week and headed east instead of west as I left my driveway. I saw TWO humans who both spoke to me which means I had to speak back. I…
Thanks to God, Jesus, Mother Nature and Mark Scrito (our weatherman) Wednesday July 16th was gloriously cool! Upper 60’s and sunny with a slight breeze, thank merciful heavens! I didn’t even break a sweat until I was 2/3 of the way home from my 2.5 mile excursion. Here is what I saw. The railroad tracks…
