UPDATE:

Well, that’s a fine kettle of fish; my update didn’t publish. I don’t know where it went; it hasn’t shown up on any draft or whatever. You didn’t miss much, I was simply remarking that I had noticed blue skies and felt that might mean I should go out and be active. However, I quickly looked at weather.com and discovered more rain is on it’s way. So I said, “Be still, my reading heart.”

I’m going to push “Save Draft” . . . Oh, wait,  you can’t on a post that has already been published once. I am going to open another window and recheck the weather prediction because I am not seeing any clouds coming toward me.

Aha:

Next 6 Hours:

Widespread showers and thunderstorms developing by late afternoon. The thunderstorms could produce heavy rainfall. Increasing clouds with temperatures steady near 76F. Winds S at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 80%.

Back to my book . . .

I put on a linen shirt over my sleeveless top because, compared to yesterday’s 87, it feels chilly this morning. I used to say it was gloomy or dark outside as I searched for a word to describe these days. I finally thought of it; it is: Brooding. The evergreens outside the windows which are on three sides of me show pockets of black and the branches hang heavily.

Well, so much for description. Okay, a bit more – thunder is rolling over my head. It is a good day to sit reading or tackle some project inside. Oh, dear me, which option will prevail? Maybe I should read and conserve my strength for all that lawnmower work the rain is generating. That does seem wise – a downright genius thought.
