The sun tried to break through this afternoon. I saw a strange brightness in the sky and a yellow glow behind a light grey cloud so I darted out onto the porch, tilted my head upward, and reached my hands to the heavens trying to capture the glow..................then it was overshadowed by deep opaqueness (is that a word?) and it was gone. The rain gauge shows 2 more inches today. Eight inches of rain since Monday. I checked my feet to see if they were webbed yet. The creek is thunderous. Temperature is dropping to a low of 26, more normal for January nights. A perfect night for a warm Carrot-Cauliflower Soup with Tarragon. It's a nice thick winter soup. Cliff had rye bread with his and I had hummus on Ak-Mak crackers. Rumor has it there will be a sunrise tomorrow morning.
Happy Summer Solstice! It was a beautiful start to this day. The typical mountain fog had settled in when I got up at 6:30 but burned off shortly after. I always go outside when I first get up, scan for wildlife, and walk around soaking in the morning peace and calm. Did about 20 minutes of stretchy yoga, showered and had a light breakfast of cream of buckwheat with ghee-fried peaches. I still felt a little full from eating Italian food with Janice last night. We go out at 4:30 and take our time eating and talking, have a glass of wine and Friday night is dessert night. Janice is doing better. It'll be a year in August since she lost Ernie. I left the breakfast dishes in the sink and headed to our Murphy Farmers Market. First stop was "Healing Ways" produce farmers for fresh Swiss chard, butter crunch lettuce, and a bunch of young summer squash and zucchini since all of mine are falling off the plants....
