A Week of Rain

I have been absent from this blog for the past week.  Even though we live in the country, I spend most of the week like everyone else working in a job in the city.  Jackson is just a few miles away but this time of the year the shortened light of day makes it more difficult to do many of things that we do around our home.  That means there is very little time to take photos to post in my blogs.

Monday, my  old Jeep turned 180,000 miles.  It is 18 years old and I don't want any other vehicle.  It is a great old mode of transportation and I love it. I stopped on the side of the road to take this picture and commemorate the occasion.  On Tuesday I sat in my Jeep waiting to carpool into Jackson.  The photo of the rain on my windshield pretty much sums up the entire week. It has rained every day this week, even when it wasn't forecast to.

I photographed our front yard Wednesday morning.  The old saying "red sky in morning, sailor take warning" was exemplified by this photo.  The color in these two photos is exactly as it appeared around sunrise that morning. It rained almost all day.


 It rained almost all day just the natural signs had said it would.

The next day it rained again almost all day.  I did get out and walk during lunch and took a few photos of downtown Jackson in the rain.

Because of the warmer than normal weather we have had for the past week I have made the time during the day to take a few photos as I have walked around during lunch

The flip side of red sky in morning is "red sky night, sailor delight." Thursday night the sky ignited into  a molten red and from the rooftop of the garage at the building where I work was ground zero for folks photographing the spectacle with their cell phones.  Below there are a few photos of what I saw from the roof on Thursday night.

I guess that sums up the week.  It was days of rain., mornings and night

 of beautiful sunrises and sunsets and me enjoying every minute of every hour of the day.  

Until next time....John
