[click image]It was dark and pouring out when I woke up this "morning", but very shortly became sunny as heck. Since noon it has been alternating between sunny and still, and sunny and HAILING, and sunny and breezy, and intermittent fog banks spotted with a racing cloud or two. The birds take turns twittering and cringing. The flowers are portraits of stubbornness, not ceding anything, not even close to exhibiting the bewilderment I know lurks deeply in their cells. It's as though Alaska were an angry youth who blamed California, unsure whether throwing rocks or spitting or growling or just dropping and pitching a tantrum of ear-splitting proportions would be his best move. So he's doing all of them. And it's cold as heck, between attempts to warm.
This morning it was 42 degrees here. Several times small thunderheads came over and you could see snow pouring down from them, but it was melting to rain a couple hundred feet above the ground.
ReplyDeleteThe strangest weather phenomenon I've seen was when it was raining cornstalks.
There were tornadoes some 100 miles away and the high altitude winds were carrying the stalks sucked up by the tornadoes and dropping them all around us.
Well, it was some kind of show we had here today... with the most glorious dusk and gorgeous choppy surf. It was so weird all day that anyone with sense would be very, very frightened, but, wow, it's beautiful out there. Snow on the hills and a dazzling snap in the air by the water.
