Feeling Fortunate
It has been quite hazy here due to wild fires in nearby states. But, today the sky was clear with not a cloud during the entire day. We made a trip up to the cabin and it was just gorgeous. Some of the leaves had just started to turn and with the backdrop of the […]
All Will Be Well
I went for a walk and talk with a friend today and she told me a story about having faith. A priest that she knows was driving during a very bad snow storm and was pretty scared. He said all at once he got a deep sense of peace and calm. He “heard” God say […]
Heading Towards the Light
I was out today and as I was about to head home, there was a terrific storm. I didn’t want to get hail damage on the car, so took a couple seconds to think about what to do. Of course, my phone was blowing up with weather alerts. I looked at the radar and saw […]
Pelted Garden
We made a trip to my sister’s farm today and visited family. Her huge garden got hit with hail a couple of days ago. I saw some pretty sad photos of the damage and wondered if there were any vegetables left. We took a tour of the area and some of the plants had been […]
Eating Outside
The past couple of days, the weather has just been wonderful. We have been able to enjoy eating outside on the porch using the new chairs we bought. They are the perfect height to use with the table we got a few years ago. It is a nice change of scenery. We watch the people […]
Passing Clouds
I took some time today to just sit on a rock, breathe in fresh mountain air, and watch the passing clouds. I didn’t try to make objects out of the shapes, but just watched them move. There were large white clouds that would billow in some places getting larger and puffier. Others were thin and […]
Great Unplanned Timing
We made a trip to the cabin today, watching the weather as thunderstorms were developing. We caught just the edge of a storm before we stopped for lunch and saw that it had already passed through. We were pretty happy about that, as it looked like a pretty bad one and we were in the […]
Nature’s Fireworks
We didn’t go out to see any fireworks in the city tonight. Instead, we watched the show on TV from the capital in Washington DC. I loved the ending when the orchestra played, the fireworks were shooting, and the cannons were booming. When we were done watching, we still heard booming. There was a big […]
Amazing Weather Event
My parents and I made a trip up to the cabin today. When we arrived, we noticed the familiar yellow pollen from the pine trees had covered the deck. In the afternoon, some small thunderstorms moved in, but cleared enough to go out for a walk. My mom wanted to identify the numerous wildflowers that […]
All The Weather
I got home this afternoon from a wonderful day and a half with my friend. I went through the details of our little get away with my parents, which was highlighted by meeting wolves. The weather forecast for the weekend was dismal to say the least, but we certainly didn’t expect to experience such diversity […]
