The rainy season has begun in Indiana. One might think spring time would be the wettest part of the year, but we always seem to get a stretch of rain in the fall that lingers and lingers and, without fail, makes me think I should begin building an ark. The rain started last night, along with periodic lightning and rolling thunder. We’re under a tornado watch until this evening, too, so the weather could get exciting.
Can you spot the dog? Harriet is, unsurprisingly, not amused about the onset of cooler weather. She insists on being covered up while she sleeps, and who can blame her? Right now, she’s in bed, curled up under a pile of blankets and comforters. That’s what one does on a cold, rainy day, right? Sleep? I know that’s what I want to do. In fact, a nap is sounding quite inviting.
Taken last Saturday just after sunset. There were thick clouds covering the entire sky, except the section just above the western horizon. It’s not a very good photo, but I liked the contrast of the large, dark area against the small window of light.
We had a blazing sunset last Wednesday. It was like looking at a lava flow and seeing the cooled, blackened crust breaking open to show the glowing, molten lava underneath. (Yeah, I watch way too much nature television.)
