Local Weather

Not fifteen minutes ago, with rain pouring down and thunder cracking right overhead, I noticed that the western sky was glowing yellow. So I went to see if there might be a rainbow. The eastern sky was peach-colored from side to side. There was a double rainbow right over the elm tree next to our garage. I stepped outside to admire it, and two blinding flashes of lightning gouged through the rainbow and were gone; then another, and another.

I went back inside.

Now the western sky is pale peach itself, curdled with gray and blue and white clouds.

All the cats are affronted.

Our cats do not hold us responsible for the weather, but they do expect us to listen earnestly to their opinions.

Last year seemed the year for dramatic skies here.

Today, the most amazing deep clear blue punctuated by shifting bits of white stuff.

People don't write on it, which I grok, but the main thing I notice here in September is the light. I have only ever seen something like it a few times and only one other place. It is truly amazing.

You cannot shoot a bad picture (even if you are me) and I have the hardest time _not_ drawing all day long. (The boy seems to want to be fed occasionally, likewise the menagerie.. there is the enveloping and rabbit-like reproducing dirty laundry, and even I have to deal with the cobweb situation, eventually.)

People talk about the light in Greece that way.

Our laundry is so obstreperous that we call it the laundry monster. Unlike mrissa, however, we have not named it.
