A bit cooler this weekend. We are getting ready for some rain next week. The white caps are a sign of the increasing presence of a low front that is moving in from the West. Should be here by Tuesday and then if stationary we could get some much-needed rain. (They are saying inches) A lone walker by the water adds a sense of calm much like last week’s jogger. Notice how the sun is lower in the sky as compared to last week. It almost looks as if the photos were taken at a different time. They were taken within minutes of each other. A sure sign of winter.

I have been working in business for over forty years and now have the time to work in special areas of interest. My passion has always been to create compelling stories of fiction. I have authored six novels and am working on my Seventh. The first novel is still in manuscript form and being utilized as a door stop in the laundry room. The second is a contemporary fiction novel of 89,000 words and is complete and I am currently seeking a publisher. I also write poetry but have not had the guts to share any with anyone. The one time I read a piece to a person their only comment was, “it doesn’t rhyme.” I will continue to write and hopefully my blog, Fiction Favorites at www.johnwhowell.com will provide some entertainment and an interesting thought or two.
I live in the Austin area with my wife Molly and an assortment of loving pets.

Interesting about the sun. I hope the coming rain is just “rain” and not storms.
Ugh… I dread winter.
Wishing you smooth sailing. Hugs.

Our good rain is usually about an inch or two. Storms can dump six or seven. We need the good stuff. Happy Sunday and Hugs.

We can get 39 degrees but only for a few hours. Usually runs in the low 70’s high 60’s. Winter coats then.

That’s autumn coats here. Interesting how humans in different regions have different reactions to the same temperature.

We have had a couple of hard frosts here and the harvest is well past mid-point. The geese and ducks are tightening up their echelons and I am thinking more and more of the gulf.

I really hate the dark in the morning and it will only get worse on standard time.

I miss the sun when it sinks lower this time of the year. I’m so not ready for the cold weather. My hummers have split…I’m depressed.
Beautiful sky, John!

Thanks for that last bit John. I was going to ask if these photos were taken at the same time.

A view of your gulf is a good thing as I ease myself back into a routine. Hi John!
