Change of Color

Fall has finally arrived in the deep south of the Coastal Bend of Texas…with the change of color… Now compared to Alaska and other parts of the nation it is kind of tame. Nonetheless, while everyone at the old Permafrost Ranch is experiencing very mild weather and freezing rain. We are still reaching the 80 degrees or better mark here. So, to all my friends and family in the Great Land. I’m sorry but that sheet of ice is liable to be with you for the rest of winter until spring. Thank goodness, I’m not driving on those roads anymore. My hair is white enough.

Sunrise Flowers

Beautiful flowers and beautiful weather this morning. I awoke early to watch the sun rise in a clear blue sky and it was like a red rubber ball rising over the island. The breeze is from the north and cool in the low 60′s but it feels great. Days like this is why we are here. So we are both sitting here watching the sun rise and drinking hot coffee. Life is good, and the breeze blowing through the window while I sit here posting this is pure pleasure upon my skin. It wasn’t too long ago and I would sit looking out the window of the Permafrost Ranch in the dead of winter wishing I was here. Well, wishes do come true.

On Such A Winters Day

The weather here in this high desert is great, it cools down at night and warms up to really mild weather during the day. Sweet.
