Rain

Cloudy – Simon and Garfunkel – YouTube

Hey, sunshine
I haven’t seen you in a longtime
Why don’t you show your face and bend my mind?
These clouds stick to the sky
Like floating question–why?
And they linger there to die
They don’t know where they’re going, and, my friend, neither do I
Cloudy

Talk about today turning into a rather dreary day

Talk about today turning into a rather dreary day. 🌧

Usually, Thursday is my day to go to store at lunchtime and then down to the library to work, but I don’t think that will be the plan for today — much too chilly and wet today. We need the rain, and it will help kill off more of the remaining snow, and get us out of rain/snow deficit we’ve had lately this winter, but it doesn’t make for nice looking out my window today at work. Kind of miss the basement office when things look like this. Been trying to get my CDTA navigator card updated — they’re having computer backend issues at CDTA but they say they are working on it.

You Can Often Tell When Rain is Coming

You can often tell when a rain storm is about to come in the woods by a gentle breeze that mostly touches the tops of the trees. Often there will be little breeze at the ground level but you can hear the trees blowing in the wind.

The sky gets darker, you might even feel a few big drops of water. In the summer, if it’s a thunderstorm you might hear a clap or two of thunder. Then sometimes it gently ramps up, but usually it comes down strong, quickly dropping quite a bit of water on your head. You seek shelter as soon you know you will get soaked.
