Two

Last night camping.

One last dip

The final swim for the night.

Camping and calm

Feeling good.

Tomatoes and this weeks stars

Today gave us a cold front and therefore some rain.

transitioning from 90s to the 80s could of meant some crazy weather but we just had some showers.

we keep a good mulch layer on the vegetables to retain moisture.

it was nice to see the rain sitting on the fruits and vegetables:

This weeks times and stars:

Hollyhocks

The hollyhocks have been going for a couple of weeks

but

for some reason yesterday's sky brought them to the forefront of my attention.

at 100 degrees, tomorrow just looks painful.

hoping for cloud cover!

Goldenrod

The day is turning out very comfortable.

the expected heat is tempered by the blanket of clouds.

the goldenrod are about ready to take off.

Copper cockerel working on his tan

Nothing but hot until these clouds started to roll in (around 2p):

could feel the temperature drop each time one of these clouds covered the sun.

the morning was good for garden work, then moved indoors to bathroom remodel work.

Extra blue - the sky 7.17.13

Opening day for my new thought rocket gave me a sky that had clouds with areas of greater density

but

there will be no rain today.

Defining Noble Ignitus sky

The following posts will be a low horizon (plainsman) view of all that is above me.

Life on the plains affords so much BLUE that i feel compelled to pay some homage to this expanse. 

I do take the liberty to express myself "loosely", each post will focus on what i directly observe above me or that which racinates from above.

in essence, this is a journal of the weather on my physical and mental self.

#1 - an image from my eye:
cascade hops framing hopeful rain.
first harvest is not too far away.

i will still be working on some of the details, but each post will contain:

1. an image from my eye.

in addition to the essential image each post can also have:

2. possibly a weather summary of the day to better define the image,

3. possibly an astronomical summary of the day to better define image,

and weekly 

4. and possibly a star chart for evening viewing.

i have used the same sources for my weather data for years now

#2 weather summary

#3 astronomical summary

#4 star chart

and as always please excuse my use of english.

i will continue to write as i speak and use capitalization & punctuation as i feel will support the visual layout of the post.
