| Wet leaves on the sidewalk |
When I woke this morning, I heard the wind howling outside, and rain hammering on the roof. Oh, well; I wasn't planning to walk to the bus today anyway, but I intended to drive since I had a yoga class at 11:00am and wouldn't otherwise have enough time to come home, leave again, and get to class on time. I'm glad I didn't miss the class, since it was a good one with lots of stretching and challenges for my old bones to meet.

| Our pretty blue trees |
Although the sun had broken over the horizon by the time I got to the coffee shop this morning, it was still dark enough, with all the wet weather, for me to capture this picture of the pretty blue lights adorning our downtown trees this year. It's a new look, and I like it very much. Lovely and discreet at the same time.
But then! When I left my yoga class, the rain was gone, blue skies appeared, and the wind had stopped. Temporarily, it seems, since we are on a high wind watch starting late tonight, with more rain and wind expected for the rest of the week. So, it was unexpected to have some nice weather, but nobody minds a brief respite. I've said it before, but I really wish there was some way to ship some of our rain to California. They are beginning to get those fires under control, I learned today. That fills me with happiness and relief.

Greeting from Idaho and stop in from Biebkriebels love your photos of the leaves on the sidewalk. The wind is picking up and I guess rain is heading my way...If you fine the time stop in for a cup of coffee
ReplyDeleteThe blue lights are pleasing to the eye.
ReplyDeleteLove those blue lights.
ReplyDeleteAnd am thrilled to hear that the fies are being brought under control.
The wet leaves look great! As do the blue lights.
ReplyDeletewhat a sweet offer on the rain; believe me, the entire state would love to take some of it off your hands. :)
ReplyDeleteBlue is such a lulling color; nice!
We have the wind warnings as a cold front is going through. Again we have trees blown down and trucks blown off the highway.
ReplyDeleteI love the blue lights!
ReplyDeleteI was expecting a half inch of rain this morning, but we barely even got wet here south of Seattle.
The sun came out and dried up all the rain. :-)
Lots of rain over here the last couple of days too. We needed it. You have the most beautiful leaves EVER! My granddaughter would be stuffing bags of it to bring home.
ReplyDeleteLove the blue lights. I hope the fires are out completely in California soon. Sounds like it was a good day. :)
ReplyDeleteThe tree lights are lovely.
ReplyDeleteWe are needing rain, not much fall color this year.
Sounds like your days are getting cooler.

Wow, you have more color on your sidewalk than we have had here in years. Love those blue lights also and hope you stay safe in the pending wind storm.
ReplyDeletePretty leaves! What is the significance of the blue lights? :)
ReplyDeleteThose blue lights look very nice.
ReplyDeleteVery colourful photos today. I do like the blue lights on the trees.
