No, I am not talking politics but about the weather. Pretty soon ( early next week hopefully) the Midsouth will be engulfed by some of the coolest air so far this fall. I can hardly wait until those beautiful fall colors begin to appear!

A Beautiful Hint of Fall....

After an unsettled couple of weeks, the Midsouth will be blessed with some gorgeous weather conditions this week. It was a pleasant 55 degrees this morning on my back porch. Fall is almost here !!!!

Here is a photo of Zach, standing in "high cotton" taken by his Nana a few "Falls" ago.

Monster of a Storm.....

Hurricane Ike bearing down on the Texas coast.

OMINOUS IKE

Hurricane Ike, with winds of 105 MPH continues to make its way toward the upper Texas Coast. Let's be sure to be in prayer for all those who will be will effected by this intense storm..

And They Listened!!

Long Lines at Murphy USA

I didn't realize I had sooo many followers!!!!!!!!!! Hopefully prices will not rise too much.

Do you believe this?

I didn't realize I had that many followers-look at thos lines!!!

You better go fill up !!

If you are unaware, the price of fuel may be rising. They are halting operations at some of the refineries in the Gulf because of Ike. Gasoline prices are going to go higher the next few days...

Good News: Arkansas - Texas game Postponed

There is some good news coming from the landfall of Hurricane Ike. The Arkansas-Texas game scheduled for Saturday has been postponed until the 27th of this month. The Razorbacks can put-off their beatdown for a couple of weeks!!

That is about the only good news coming out of this. I did forget that parts of Eastern Texas are too dry-they will catch up soon.

IKE TAKES A JOG NW

Humongous Hurricane Ike continues to make a trek towards the Texas coast with a minimum pressure of 945 MB and maximum sustained winds of @ 100 MPH. Ike's track the last 18 hours takes it closer to a probable central Texas landfall by early Saturday morning, making it more likely to affect the ARKLAMISS area.

WELCOME ! IKE IS DOING THE IKEE SHUFFLE!

After lambasting Cuba, Hurricane Ike is has now slowed it's forward progress, which is usually a bad sign.

Bad in that it is probably trying to re-intensify and get better organized-just as forecast. Would luv to see this high pressure squash it down to nothing, but that is not going to happen....

Hopefully the gov of Texas has done his job in getting that state ready for what may be a major hurricane landfall.
