Wet and Rainy

Snow/Ice storm

We had a snowstorm overnight. It brought us a couple of inches of snow and then turned to ice and freezing rain. The trees were all sparkly this morning.

Icy Window

We have had roller-coaster weather...last week we had sub-zero temperatures...this week we had record highs!

Sun and Ice

The ice hanging off the eaves makes very interesting formations.

Branches

We have had some very windy weather of late and our old maples do a lot of shedding. I like to think of it as God doing his pruning.

Orange Sunset

Lovely sunset on our way home from the library.

Ice

We have had some very cold weather recently. After a brief warm up and rain, the cold weather blew in and most of our back year looks like this.

Golden Trees

Everywhere you look right now you can see lovely trees of yellow, gold, orange and red. This is a favorite times of the year.

Golden Tinge

We are getting into one of the loveliest times of year in the northeast. The trees are taking on a tinge of gold and will soon burst into color. The nights are getting cold and the days are warm and wonderful.

Signs of the Season

Yikes! I am seeing more and more leaves tinged with red, orange or yellow. Fall is just around the corner. I am not ready for summer to be over.

Thunder Showers

The skies finally let loose this aftenoon and we had some wonderful thunder and lightening and rain. The air cooled off a bit, but not too much. We needed the rain and I'm sure the plants are sighing from the refreshment.

Golden Skies

Everyday seems to bring a different sunset. This golden sky seemed hot just like our weather.

Break in the Rain

We have had three days of rainy weather. Yesterday, late evening, the clouds opened up a bit and the sky turned this lovely peachy pink color. Add the fog to the mix and it was quite lovely.

Foggy

Fog rolling in across the tidal inlet

Purple Skies

We have a long view to our west and we regularly get awesome sunsets. This one was particularly grand.

Lumpy Clouds

Our hazy, hot, humid weather blew away today and the air cooled off and the skies cleared. Left behind where these mash potato clouds.

Storm Clouds

We have had some terrific afternoon storms in recent weeks, complete with thunder and lightening, hail, wind and torrential downpours. I really love these storms. These clouds are typical for this type of weather.

Blues Skies

What a difference a day or two makes! This is the same view as my really gray sky from the other day and look at that beautiful blue and white. Today was a wonderful day, still cool, but so sunny and bright. I spent several hours outside today just enjoying the sun.

Sunset

On our way home from the party yesterday, we witnessed this gorgeous sunset. It was beautiful.

Sticky Snow

The snow we had yesterday was wet and sticky. It hung on everything, even the ropes of the clothesline.
