The sky looked rather eerie as a storm front approached from the north and it did drop more than a half inch of rain in a short time besides adding some thunder rumble from the lightning.

White falling petals from the apple tree blossom almost look like snow but after the storm’s wind and rain, most of the blossoms are off the tree and the petals were washed away or driven down to the soil.

While there were a few quiet moments today, Mother Nature was generally not very peaceful today. The birds were complaining loudly this morning and I discovered the reason. The bear made a return visit and managed to destroy both of my seed feeders and it took a while to patch them enough so the birds could have their seeds again. And then the afternoon storms rolled in and the first one knocked the power out for a couple of hours and the power was just restored in time for the next wave of rain and thunder.

While these clouds don’t look very nasty, an earlier dark storm front rolled through with 60 mph wind gust that rattled trees and buildings causing some damage today.

These clouds were not so pretty as they were swirling snow down. The sky changed conditions rapidly throughout the day with brief periods of sun before the return of the white sheet of flakes that fell as the sky turned dark.

The first day of February started out sunny and it was good to see the sun but the clouds came back and swallowed the sun once more.

The white color was on the ground instead of the sky this morning but at least it was only a trace of snow so that field work and corn harvesting can continue.

When the sky starts filling with clouds, there may be only a few gaps for the sky to peek through and allow the sun rays to reflect off the edges of the clouds.

Just a few clouds in the evening can create some rays shooting upward into the sky and they quickly change with the movement of the sun and clouds.

The sunset might have set already this evening but the thunderheads were higher to catch the later sun rays to light up and glow on the clouds.
