Saturday, July 06, 2002 July 6 -- chilly, gray, damp. Clouds began moving in today after noon, and between 2 and 2:30 it suddenly got dark. The temperature took a dive, intermittent rain started coming down. It looks and feels like the Cascades, east and north of Seattle -- same kind of country, same weather. Since then, the sky has shifted back and forth, light and dark, turning strange colors. It'll be deep, deep gray to the west and a strange dirty salmon color to the north. A short time later, the sky to the north will be a nasty, uncomfortable-looking shade of rose while off to the southeast it's vague yellows and greens. I'm not making this up. (This after Thursday's entry re: the sky turning green.) Late afternoon, fog moved in, bringing with it silence and little to no visibility. The upside of all this: yesterday I put a few tomato plants into the ground not far from the house. They'll get lots of moisture while they acclimate. Saturday, of the quietest 4th of July weekend I've ever experienced. And a whole different thing from what some folks are experiencing out west. rws 9:11 PM [+] |
