Sometimes the wild blue yonder is really shades of blue, or perhaps grey-blue if you’re picky.
We’re northbound, after a snow-storm, which is a better time than during the storm. Duh. This is a northern Kentucky rest area.
Full moon rising over Cincinnati.
And, by the time we got to the outer Cincinnati suburbs: demurely hiding moon. If anthropomorphizing is permitted.
We did see about five minutes of wan sunshine, and a few minutes of snow blowing across the pavement, but otherwise: dry roads, yay.

The rain we got and the rain that’s predicted surely will knock back our drought situation.

All meteorological reports this morning indicated it was foggy out. Here’s proof!

Fine weather today. Not meaning to rub it in if you have had stressful weather, but I’m much happier with our high of 66°F.

Ooops. Forgot this poor plant gifted to me months ago. It’s been on its own mostly since. It’s inside now.
This one, on the other hand, is right out in the midst of the Snap, surviving nicely (so far).

Boy-o-boy have we had clear and brilliant moon-lit nights lately. I hear we’re headed for a cold snap next week, as in below freezing. Yikes.

We had rain all day, but it’s finally stopped. I haven’t seen the figures on how much these several days of on-off precip have reduced our drought.

We got rain off and on all day—mostly drippy rain, the kind that soaks in nicely…which is great because in this area we have a serious deficit that needs remedying.
I include this picture of the Guggenheim museum from last winter, the one in Bilbao. This is day two of our visit, when we walked around outdoors on a gorgeous sunny day. Day one was rainy, and so we went in the museum and looked out rain-streaked windows and soaked in artsiness.

I heard that much of Jamaica is to get 40 inches of rain. That will be prodigious and horrible. Here, we are expecting spotty rain and some breeziness—a veritable cakewalk in comparison.

So, midmorning I swept the balcony free of leaves. At 3pm I looked out and found a new crop had recolonized it. I’m looking at you tulip poplars. [Not this taxus, or whatever it is.]
