Similar to last year, winter still hangs on for all it's worth...
...and let me show you what I am talking about.
The new cold fronts have not stopped coming in, and I can tell you that not only do they bring cold and very strong winds but also rain over most parts of the country. Invariably we have some almost clear days, but the skies are cloudy on most days. Not very pleasant, as the clouds block the sun, and we sit most of the time with low temperatures. Not that I am complaining, as I just go out there every day to show you the beauty.
Now you might think that I write in short paragraphs, but I can only type on the keyboard with one finger, and it takes me a while.
This is what it looked like on the road up from our house.
And here you can see what one of the hills looked like.
The afternoon looked a bit better, but still not clear.
Amazing how things can change over here during a day, and change is indeed a constant. The Cape is known for its winds, and nothing is safe during the wind gusts that can travel at very high speeds. Lately, the rain has become shorter of duration, and the quantity of water has increased. So beware, as one can become drenched with water even when the sun is shining in some other areas. So, yes, things can become risky here, but we are getting used to it.
The sun shone in small breaks between the clouds.
In the afternoon, the clouds started to rise up.
Ever so slowly, the clouds started to move away.
And at the end of the day, things looked like this below.
Note that I will soon show you more about the sunset above in another post. Simply fabulous about how a day can turn out to be. For instance, if you look at the morning photos above, then a lovely sunset is not in one's mind at all. We were expecting rain again early on, and it did rain again the next morning. One can also not read the weather when the winds change direction in an instant, and a sunny day can change to rain within a half an hour.
Such is life.
I hope you enjoyed the pictures and the story.
