This is what it looks like when we have a wet spring.

Layers of green

The world turns a luscious green, from the lowest moss, to the dogwoods and persimmons, and all the way up to the tallest oaks, poplars and hickories. The layers of green fade into the distance. It’s almost like being under water, especially when the humidity is high. But things begin to dry out after a week or so of high temperatures and no rain. That’s why I was pleased to hear we would have rain on Sunday.

The clouds began to gather on Saturday and It got dark earlier than normal. Things looked good as we walked the dogs.

Leah and Luci, as the sky and woods darken

There was not much blue in the sky by the time we got home.

Layers of gray

There were even a few very low clouds, lower than our house, scudding along just visible above the treetops. There’s one just to the left of the lower center of this picture. And then the clouds banked up against Lavender Mountain and began to pour through the trees in our back yard.

Clouds are coming

Sunday morning came. It rained hard to the west and to the northeast of us, but not here. Maybe next weekend.
