Sometimes the cloud-cover is thick and dark with no blue sky is visible. It looks cold when I look out my window but looks can be deceiving. In the summer it is hot and sticky when the sky looks like that- and you can bet that a thunderstorm is on the way. My hair sticks straight out thanks to the static electricity in the air.
"A promise is a cloud, fulfillment is rain."
Arabian Proverb
My favorite sky is blue with cotton ball clouds- something we have here nearly every afternoon. When Christopher (the second grader) was here visiting we would try to find objects (ducks, bunnies, dinosaurs, cars, ...) in the clouds. It was a fun game to play while we were in the car.
"There are no rules of architecture for a castle in the clouds. "
G.K. Chesterton
Nick (the kindergartner) informed me when he was visiting that "Those are not 'cotton ball clouds'- they are cumulus clouds and when they get bigger with gray bottoms they are cumulonimbus clouds that bring rain!" Oy vey!!
I know Montana is "The Big Sky State" but for some reason the sky seems really big here. Maybe it's the depth or dimension the "cotton ball clouds" give it. Or maybe it's the deep blue contrasting with the brilliant white of the clouds. Whatever the reason I think Maryland's sky gives Montana a run for their money!
