The weather has been volatile this past week - it is March after all - wrecking havoc on sinuses but making for excellent scenery. The beginning of the week saw heavy clouds and patches of flurries, but there were holes in clouds allowing sunlight to stream through. I spent more than hour chasing the sunlight down backroads new to me and somehow managed not to get lost. There were a few times when I wasn't sure exactly where I was, but I did manage to find my way back without having to consult a map, so I can say I was never completely lost.
This little gem of a spot came up unexpectedly when the road took a sudden turn to the right and meandered along a creek. Corn and soybeans are the most crops around here, but winter wheat is my favorite to paint, as it turns the most wonderful shade of gold when ripe. Right now it is dormant and a sort greenish yellow as opposed to the brown earth in the other, fallow fields. Though the darkening clouds foretold six inches of snow (and a day off from school for the kids) later in the week, the bright field predicts that spring is just around the corner. I am certainly ready for it.

An interesting sky. Hope spring arrives soon.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sue! I hope so too. Though snow and bare trees can be quite dramatic, I'm ready for some greenery.
