Super October Weather!

 It doesn't get much better. 










I've made lots of progress with clearing. I have some kind of vine springing up now, and I have no idea what it is. Bindweed? I might let that run rampant.

Perfect October Weather!

 Crisp and cool mornings and warm days, but not at all hot, continue, and there is no change from this pattern on the horizon. Very refreshing and very enjoyable!










Even so, I am well-prepared for the inevitable wintery blasts. Much less chance of pipes freezing, providing ERCOT does not collapse. In my neck of the woods, we had no brownouts or blackouts during that exceptionally hot summer. So I hope for the best and try to prepare for the worst.

Awesome October Weather!

 Crisp mornings after lots of rain, dodged a hail storm last evening-- it was north of me, got a little more rain, and no more rain or severe weather threats all of next week. And the day's warmth (not hot at all) will be perfect. This is my favorite month and it looks to be a very good one. I need that. I got more work done yesterday afternoon but it was very humid. Lots of good sweat. Our last rainfall was so heavy, we won't need more for a while. Playa lakes VERY full and that's good to see. Unfortunately, the rain was bad news for the local cotton farmers. Too much, too late in the season. That's farming for you. Always a very risky enterprise. Unpaved county roads are probably a mess as well.

Lots Of Rain!

 It really poured down last night! Playa lakes are very, very, full. Lots of lightening and noise but nothing severe. There could be more rain tonight and the ground is saturated. 










October continues to be very pleasant!

Perfect October Morning

 I did a few things this morning to further perfect my environment. I am well pleased. And the weather this morning is perfect for October and it will be perfect October weather all this week. So fine. 






The quality of the light this morning is exceptional, and the clarity of my thought is gratifying. My daily and weekly and monthly routines are sacred and my movements are like those of a prayer wheel in the wind. And just as significant. Ahhhhh!
