Given how wet it’s been lately, it only seems appropriate that today’s garden photos reflect the rain. Continue reading

2015_Day 114: Hot, humid weather perfect for tomatoes
We were talking about the weather at work today, and a co-worker commented how she wasn’t ready for the 90s and the humidity. It has been humid lately and we’ve had at least one 90-degree day with more in the weekend forecast. Innocently (I am new to Texas, after all), I asked if 90s in April were common, adding that I thought those hot temperatures would hold off til at least May. Continue reading
2015_Day 106: Beautiful, stormy clouds, but where’s the rain?
Thursday, April 16. Hoping for some rain from these clouds, but only a few sprinkles.
Mother Nature keeps tempting us. There was a promise of rain today in central Texas, and some areas did indeed get some. But, alas, by our house in Georgetown, we saw only sprinkles. Continue reading

Lettuce on Feb. 11.

Eagerly awaiting what the lettuce is going to look like after another week of daytime highs in the 50s, 60s and 70s.
2015_Day 7: Wild and windy day in Texas
There are a number of things I didn’t bring from Wisconsin because I didn’t think I’d have much use for them in Texas. Snow shovels. Game them to family in Wisconsin. Snow boots. Gave ’em to Goodwill. Door/window draft snakes? Ditto. But as you can hear in the video below (or at http://tinyurl.com/pf9xol8), I should have kept the door snakes. Seems you don’t have to have an old house to have a drafty one. Continue reading
2015_Day 5: Hey Mom, I’m not cold. Get over it.
It was 27 degrees this morning (wind chill temperature was 21) when daughter left the house to walk to the bus stop. Do you think she had a coat on?
“Mom, I’ve got a sweatshirt in my bag if I get cold,” she said. “I’ll be fine.”
So tell me again, why exactly is it that teens won’t wear coats? Continue reading
