I just walked from car to my apartment, while the skies continued to threaten rain.
Part of Skywatch Friday - either last week, or maybe this week! But waiting till Friday comes in order to link means you have to miss it being posted there today. That's the head scratcher for today. Let's hope it's the only one!
Today's quote:
Alice Childress said, "Life is just a short walk from the cradle to the grave, and it sure behooves us to be kind to one another along the way."
Thanks to all the readers who contributed to a thoughtful discussion yesterday in comments!!

ReplyDeleteGreat info Tom...thanks!
DeleteThose skies look very much like the skies we had here for the past few days. The rain is good.
ReplyDeleteRain is definitely good, in small doses anyway!
DeleteAfter several bright blue skies days we have clouds and threat of more rain after it rained last night. Those dogwoods are not being attacked liked the native dogwoods are.
ReplyDeleteTrue too. These may survive while native dogwoods don't. The Wikipedia link said they're considered natrualized to New York already.
DeleteThe Kousa Japanese Dogwood is so beautiful with all its blooms. I wait in anticipation as we have a little longer to go before they will be blooming here. Your skies look like ours do today. A nice steady rain helps the flowers grow!
ReplyDeleteYou are so right. We had an early thunderstorm today, and clouds most of the restof the day, without an expected afternoon shower (yet anyway.) I'm still watering my porch plants, so I know they didn't get enough water from the flashy rain this morning.
ReplyDeleteFunny how using trees in names add a little class. I love whispering pines. Great photos of some unusual weather.
ReplyDeleteI activate the Skywatch Friday meme to start at 12:30 PM central time every Thursday. It's always been a blogger thing to name things a day in advance. It stays open until 12 PM the next Thursday. So just about any time you want to post just go ahead.
Thanks so much for having Skywatch Friday...I've seen many beautiful photos over there, which is why I wanted to join up. So now I know when to add my URL to your list, and add your URL for the correct week! Easy peasy!
DeleteThose Dogwood trees are pretty. I love your dramatic skies! I prefer to post on Thursday for Skywatch Friday. Yup, a head scratcher!
ReplyDeleteYes, and now I know about the timing also. Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
DeletePretty scenes! Life is indeed short.
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm trying to avoid being glum while also knowing my mortality is looking in my face as I approach 80.
DeleteVery pretty.
ReplyDeleteThanks, glad you could look at my blog today!
DeleteBeautiful
ReplyDeleteThank you sir.
DeleteI've never seen that variety of dogwood.
ReplyDeleteWorth a Thousand Words
I hadn't either until moving here. Maybe they began to be imported about 2007. But then most of these trees look around 10 years old, so maybe later.
DeleteVery moody skies.
ReplyDeleteWe have had much needed rain in recent days.
I love that Japanese Dogwood...I love regular dogwoods a lot. I have a pink one and now wish I had a white one, too.
ReplyDeleteIt has been raining in Chicagoland area and cooled off. Your skies look a lot like ours today.
ReplyDeleteI lived in Georgia for many years and fell in love with dogwoods there! I even get to see one now and then here in New Zealand :)
