Big storms were predicted night before last, and some people did get them. Luckily, we just had some rain. But yesterday, after the rain had left, there were huge winds. We've lost our Spring-like temperatures, so with the blustery wind and colder temps, it felt brutal to me. I can handle the cold, but not with the wind.
Even though the rain had moved out, storm clouds remained. I love storm clouds. They are so much more interesting than blue sky to me. We tend to get a lot of storm clouds, but no rain. That's always a disappointment.
A little bit of blue sky peeking through. There was a good bit of blue sky, but then it all turned back to dark clouds.
I was so worried about the storms and high winds that I moved a lot of my plants into a protective area. I was afraid the high winds would break the tulips. All's back to good though. My daffodils are all done blooming. That's always sad.
I hope you're having a wonderful week. Looking forward to the weekend. I'll be doing childcare at church. I still haven't made it to the Home Depot nursery. Maybe I can do that tomorrow.
Daffs finished! Oh my no, lol. We have 50 MPH wind here since late last night and it went from 50 and partly sunny yesterday, to snow over night. Got in a much wanted and needed walk early yesterday. Should be able to again by Friday. I love the blue sky all the time except in the drought season. But puffy clouds with blue filler are beautiful to see. Great photos you have and glad your pots were safe.
ReplyDeleteWow, your weather is as unpredictable as mine! We had frost warnings last night. Luckily tulips can handle it. I do like the big fluffy clouds. Have a great weekend.
DeleteCan't believe your Daffodils are done! Ours won't bloom til mid-April! The seasons move slowly getting to our place.
ReplyDeleteIt's cold here in the mornings. We had frost warnings last night. I might have spoke to early about the daffofils being done. I think it's just mine, and mostly because I picked a lot of them. I noticed them blooming all over town yesterday.
DeleteGoodness, your daffodils are already over? And barely spring. We have been having the high wind here too. It knocked over our big dumpster.
ReplyDeleteLooks like our spring like temperatures are returning next week. The wind has calmed down today. I need to get outside, I've been sitting too much today!
DeleteWe had high winds too, and even flurries today! My daffodils have not yet started to bloom, so strange to think yours are already done. I am having a time protecting my tulips from my young dogs. They play so hard the poor emerging tulips are getting squashed. I need to find a solution, fast.
ReplyDeleteOh No, your poor tulips! Don't you hate it when things go wrong like that. Maybe you could spray some deer spray on them, it might keep the dogs away.
DeleteYou have such a beautiful view with these woods. I bet in the spring when the chartreuse leaves come out and the fall when they color are both spectacular!
ReplyDeleteI do love looking into the woods, especially when there are dark clouds approaching. I keep looking to see if there are any leaves emerging, but no luck yet.
DeleteDaffodils finished? Ours aren’t up yet. I don’t envy your severe weather but I sigh a little thinking of your area’s blooms..
ReplyDeleteI spoke too soon on the daffodils. I was out yesterday and saw them blooming all over town, so i guess it's just mine that are done. i guess I picked most of them. I thought mine were through too early. Have a great weekend.
DeleteSuch beautiful photos. Love it so much

Thank you! Have a great weekend.
DeleteYour love for stormy skies and seasonal changes really comes through in your writing. There’s something captivating about dark clouds rolling in, even if they don’t always bring rain.

It's nice to know there are other people who love stormy clouds too. Have a great weekend. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
DeleteLove the 2nd photo the best!
ReplyDeleteYOu like a little bit of blue shining through. I like that picture too. Have a wonderful weekend.
DeleteA clear blue sky is the least interesting of all. It is the clouds that add character and interest, especially dark, brooding clouds. Enjoy the weekend coming up.
ReplyDeleteI agree. You need something to break up the monotony of a clear blue sky. Have a wonderful weekend.
DeleteThat same storm came thru here on Wednesday. There was some pretty high straight line wind too that set of Tornado warnings. Thankful all short lived.
ReplyDeleteI love the tall pines until there is a huge wind.
Hugs cecilia
Tornado warnings freak me out. We get a lot of them here during the spring. Hopefully we have a quiet one this year. Have a great week.
DeleteGreat sky photos ~ glad you were ok ~

Thanks! Stormy clouds only this time, no storms. Just a little rain. Have a wonderful weekend.
Deletevery pretty...we always move and protect things when a storm is coming. good that everything went well. we have had a very windy february and so far, march is the the same!!!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you had quite the weather this week! And I agree, storm clouds are so much more interesting than blue skies. Beautiful shots!
ReplyDeleteMy dad's a lot like you in that he loves watching the dark, scary storm clouds.
ReplyDeleteThe daffodil leaves are just starting to show here. Beautiful view to see those lovely tall trees. We had rain and high winds here in northern Virginia a night ago. Happy March!
ReplyDeleteMy daffys are still asleep though on my walk today, I see a dandy, all bright and yellow. Love that. Up next, I'm excited to hear the peepers. Usually we hear one but I've missed it. Just one little peeper that's awake saying, "hey, get up everybody. Get up."
