that was the week that was
The skies in Minnesota this week ran in extremes. These are four examples of what I mean. Thats factoring in a record breaking 103 degrees on Tuesday and 69 degrees today just for variety. Look up here.
did you get storms last evening? they rolled through here around 9:30 p.m. and brought refreshingly cooler air. it had been 97 for three previous days, with that awful humidity. I just checked the thermometer on my laptop and it reads 48 degrees. I don't mind it but the tomato plants do. it means good sleeping tonight. your skies are gorgeous Noni. have a great weekend. stay warm. or cool, things could change rapidly!
I know what you mean about the extremely hot weather - we had it too, early in the week, but now it has settled down to summer temperatures. We had some thunder and lightning, but not much rain. I love the clouds you have posted, with their delicate hues!!
Lovely skies in your photos. It's easier to appreciate them inside the house with air conditioning that out in with the beating sun. 103 is hot anywhere, but in Minnesota it must have been a real shock to the system!
To live in the presence of great truths and eternal laws, to be led by permanent ideals--that is what keeps a man patient when the world ignores him, and calm & unspoiled when the world praises him. Honoré de Balzac

The last photo, the gloomy one, looks as though it could have been shot on a 69-degree day!
ReplyDeleteRED SKY IN MORNING
Red sky in morning,
Sailors take warning!
Who knows what might happen out on the sea?
Waves riding high,
Waves to the sky,
Waves crashing and dashing all over me!
Red sky at night,
Sailors delight!
Leeward or windward we sail with no fear;
Water is calm,
Healing like balm—
Ahoy, fellow sailors, landfall is near!
