When a storm rolls in

This is a view I never tire of. This looks to the northeast and often when I look out this window I see weather changes in the clouds I never was aware of when I lived in the mountains. The intense black of the sky was imposing, looking like it was going to rain or snow with a furry! But then, the sun peaked through and illuminated the wheat field!

I appreciate trees. I went to Billings yesterday with a dear friend Tracey and saw lots and lots of Ponderosa Pines. I miss those stoic giants! I really laughed when Dustin told me that our house had trees! Oh I felt so disheartened when I saw, what I considered then, as scrub brush. But I do appreciate them now. The wind is howling today and they just stand there solid, most of them in the wind breaks, thankfully blocking some of the wind.
