Houston Weather today

I think today has started out to be the most perfect day of weather all year in Houston, so far. It is currently in the upper 80's and I just finished a walk around Kingwood on our trail system. Everything is green and beautiful and the wildlife is loving it. All the birds and squirrels are out doing their busy work.

Now I am sitting in my backyard in cool, comfortable shade with the overhead fan on medium speed. It is just perfect. I am spending my afternoon doing some web research on new products and services while studying some new topics of interest. There is never an end to the vast array of topics available to read about. My cat is sitting with me. She is studying the concrete, apparently. Half the time she is just staring at the inside of her eyelids.

My next home project will definitely be to double the size of my patio cover. I am still working with just the one provided by the builder. Soon, I'll add new brick columns that will bring it out 15 more feet out and add another fan and speakers. Maybe even power and cable up in the ceiling so I can add an LCD TV. The extra room to entertain and stretch out will be nice.

What is your next project? Tell me about your dream patio!
