Tuesday, 12/23/14


December continues relatively mild, but cloudy and damp.  

The old song says some folks have Chestnuts roasting on an open fire.  We have pottery and underwear drying by a wood stove.

Mid-Afternoon: Sky quickly cleared to partly cloudy. Clouded back up again just as quickly.

Gray Skies Continue


Wednesday (12/17) dawned relatively clear, but with a red sky on the horizon.  Clouds soon moved back in to cover the sky, but not before Jo captured a photo of the walnut tree in our yard. 



Thursday (12/18) was overcast all day.  This was the view right after we turned around and headed back home on our afternoon walk.



The grass and weeds at the road's edge were wet with accumulated moisture.
