Sunny Cool

 It should be warmer tomorrow. I was able to do a lot and I got lucky on something. I found a terrific bargain and snapped it up.

Wintery Today

 Not freezing but cool and wet. I'm glad I did a lot yesterday, when the weather was fine. This spell of wet winter should be over by Saturday, when we get some sun again. Bad timing for the cotton farmers, who rarely catch a break lately. The ground is still saturated from our recent heavy rains and that means a lot of run off into the playa lakes. Well, I like to see those things full. But I really hate gloomy weather like this. 








I won't be getting much done today.

It Looks To Be

 Yet another nice day coming up. Seasonal temps and some rain in the forecast. I got some essential stuff done yesterday and I feel good about that. I don't have much on my plate today apart from the gym. I can't emphasize enough the need to exercise on a regular and consistent basis, and have some weight training and resistance work as part of the routine. I've been doing that for at least 35 years, NOT body building but strength training. I found time for exercise even when I worked. I'd get home from work and hit the weights and follow that with a brisk walk. Weekends were for bicycling and jogging. It can be done, and the benefits are lasting.

A Little More Rain

 Yesterday we had light rain and it stayed cloudy most of the day. Plenty of sunshine this morning. 







Later this week we might have a lot of rain again. It looks like the recent rains have not been good for the cotton farmers.

Yes, A Lot Of Rain

  A friend who lives not far from me had five inches in her rain gauge, and so did her neighbor. My rain gauge got smashed to bits in a hail storm several years ago and I never replaced it, but I'm sure I got that much. And it looks like another rainy day. And that's not what was in yesterday's forecast at all. Quick change again. Yesterday, NO chance of rain today or tomorrow, and today began cloudy and wet. With the climate veering toward chaos, it's hard to make accurate forecasts.
