Weather

It seems that I've written about the weather a great deal lately. I think it's in my DNA. When I was a kid we spent a lot of time on our front porch and it seemed to me like we spent a lot of time talking about the weather.

Every time a neighbor walked by in front of our house, the first topic on our tongues was the weather. Summer: "Did you see that heat lightning last night? It was a sight."
Autumn: "You figure there will be frost by Halloween?"
"Better cover the collards."
Winter: "When is that last chance of frost?"
"The Almanac says April 3."
"It should be safe to plant maters after that."
Spring: "The signs will be in the knees soon. We can start planting squash."
And so on.

So, I find that I do that a lot.

  4. It seems 'weather' is going to be more than a conversation topic, more like a matter of life and death. People are not prepared; and I don't mean provisions of food, water, light - but a plan for migration from one place to another. We're probably going to become nomads again. Perhaps not 'we', but certainly the younger generation.

  6. I shot this picture Wednesday on the road near where Jilda works.
    There are hundreds of opportunities on that road but few places where it’s safe to stop and shoot a pic.
