Texas Fall/Winter thread!

jinman · Mar 21, 2014

All of my Mexican plum trees are in full bloom. If you get downwind, it sure smells good.

The blooms will be gone by this weekend. They sure don't last long.

Ron,
Make that two fiddles AND a steel guitar! Glad to hear from you. What have you been up to?
hugs, Brandi

I always like a band when they have a woman fiddle player. Never seen a band that had a woman fiddle player I didn't like.

THE 2014 - 2015 TEXAS FALL/WINTER THREAD STARTS TODAY!

txdon · Sep 23, 2014

It actually felt like Fall today staying in the 80's with a light northeast wind and low humidity. We got the yard and extended yard mowed with the dual zees in about two hours. After getting thoroughly dusted I order a Wolfsnout with goggles for me.

Truly feels like Fall again this morning. *56 and into the mid *80's today, but no rain in sight.

60 degrees. SIXTY! How about that? Don't think we've seen that number since March. Feels good. Needed a blanket last night. Another fantastic day. Too bad I have to suit up and head into the city. Hopefully, home by noon.

Absolutely wonderful weather ... Forecast shows maybe next Wednesday some rain... In the meantime .. Hay, milo and fall plowing !!! Then get ready to plant wheat.

Good to see the Texas Fall/Winter thread back up. It means I will be headed your way in about 2 months.

It means I won't have to change wet, sweaty clothes two or three times at work each night. Yippee!!!

Where summer go? I mean I'm still in the hay field baling hay but it does take few days for it to dry out now...

Brandi-- Amen, I've been having to change my shirt twice before noon. Yesterday the low was *52. This is the best time of the year after the heat of a Texas Summer.

foreman-- They're still getting after the Hay here too. It's great to have a good Hay year.

I'm loving the cooler weather, and getting my Fall jobs done this week. I gave the yard a thorough watering Monday and Tuesday, then applied some insecticide, yesterday I washed the exterior of all the windows, and I put my little 5 x 8 trailer out front with a For Sale sign on it, and this morning, I've already applied Sherwin-Williams Deckscape to the parts of the patio that get the most sun.

Look like I am going to be blessed with a little more rain today.. but did get some pasture cut the last two days.. Lou

Wow, 37 pages...this site sure has grown.

I can't help but mention that the first thing I did was to look back just a few posts to see Jim's last post about his plum trees. Still sad and missing his thoughtful insights on many subjects. Prayers to his wife and family for everything.

68 deg this morning. Finally it was dry enough to mow most of the low areas around the pond. Good thing the tractor has 4wd and big tires front and rear. Still, the thick grass/weed mixture would bog it down and slip the clutch on the shredder. I wish I had 1 of those mini round balers, but they cost about $14K or more. Just way too much for my budget.

All day soaker here. It was slowly sprinkling this a.m. when I was outside. Barely noticeable. Cleaned the coop, and hooked up the trailer. Started raining in Schertz at 11:30. It has basically rained here from noon, and is still coming down. Nice, steady rain. Great for the pastures. Also cooler-about 70* right now. Weather forecast called for rain clearing by 10, and high in the mid 80s. Nice work, fellas.

Eureka!(I found it). It is Fall this morning, 48*. Am I on the right thread now?

45 degrees here and I see a news story about places out west suffering from triple digit temperatures. I'd much rather have the 45 than triple digits any day. This morning is the first time in many months that I've turned off the ceiling fan right over my head.

txdon · Oct 4, 2014

I'm a little disappointed, I was looking forward to temps in the 50s this morning but it's just 61˚. I guess the lower temperatures are in the valleys and not near 15,000 pavers that soaked up the sun yesterday.
