“I can hear your whisper and distant mutter. I can smell your damp on the breeze and in the sky I see the halo of your violence.
Storm I know you are coming.” ~~ Robert Fanney

How blue is that sky???
Finally, a day arrives when I can share a photo of Mount Warning which isn’t grey skies, mountain, ranges, and valley.
But dare I say, the kitchen renovation is taking more time than ever this week?
This will be my fastest post ever … gotta run.
Love to all. xx
Silent Sunday
The Moodiness of Mount Warning
A slither of blueness returned to the morning sky today, just a slither, but enough to give me hope that today might just be the day the mountain would reappear, after sulking behind a wall of clouds for the past four days.
Little Hoppy (of gammy leg fame) was on standby, watching the mountain with me. I can always count on Hoppy to drop by every morning.
But wait – the Three Stooges are here as well, with clean and fluffy feathers after several days of being washed by the rain – repeatedly.
Not to be outdone, baby magpie waited patiently for me to turn around and take a photo of him as well.
Meanwhile, the mountain remained mostly hidden for most of the morning.
Early in the afternoon, most of the cloud cover had disappeared. Seeing the beautiful vivid blueness of the ranges is good for my soul, even if a few clouds lingered.
Less than an hour later, we had a complete mountain view!
I kept on checking the mountain today, and she was full of surprises. At dusk, even though she had caught a few clouds again, the setting sun’s dazzling rays shone across her lower ranges.
Quite a few daylilies appeared today, so while I had my camera in hand, I thought I’d better preserve some of their splendour. They are called daylilies for a reason, and will be gone by tomorrow.
During the few short minutes while I had wandered off to visit the daylilies, the mountain had changed again, this time darkening in preparedness for nightfall. Today, however, Mount Warning had one last treat remaining …
Goodnight mountain. ❤
Between Showers of Rain
The rain barely let up again today. Early this afternoon, however, there was a short break between showers, so I took the opportunity to dash outside with my camera.
The weeds are growing … like weeds!! They’re growing everywhere, in the garden beds, between the pebbles on the stairs, amid the grass … I had to pause to pull out a few. In doing that though, I disturbed a very extensive mosquito population, undoubtedly multiplying in small hollows where rain is captured in the garden rocks, so my weeding didn’t last too long.
From my front door, I have had my eye on my magnolia tree this week. It’s a fairly new tree, and I could see an open flower which needed closer inspection. The flower has taken a battering from the wind and rain, yet the petals are serving as dainty cups to catch the fallen carpels.
More rain is predicted. but I see a prediction for a sunny day on Monday! 🙂
