Rose gardeners PSA: If it’s going to rain big, go out there and cut your opened roses for bouquets. They’ll just get ruined if you leave them out there.

Rain is coming. Might as well cut roses and bring inside.

Visited Camp Verde, AZ, and watched the rain clouds roll in.

Here’s a view of Seattle you won’t see for very much longer, taken November 2016. Note the Great Wheel, the construction cranes, the Space Needle, and the Viaduct roadway, soon to be torn down.

Seattle does have a lot of gray skies, but we can handle it when they look like this.

Plenty of rain in these clouds over the Seattle skyline

Last week when I drove up to the tulip festival (more tulips to come soon, I promise) the sky was very springlike and changeable, with sun on the buildings but such a dark sky, so I stuck the camera up and snapped. A little hailstorm hit soon after this shot.

This was taken from a moving car on the way to Portland last spring. We never got to experience the rain that the skies promised since we were long gone by the time the deluge hit.
