Counting the Rains

It was a foggy August last year. I thought we would have plenty of snow by now. Instead, it has rained and rained and rained. I think, if I'm going to arrive at the same number of fogs, I will have to count all forms of precipitation rather than only snows. It would actually be nice to have some snow to reflect the light. It's been pretty dreary between the clouds and the bare land.

On the other hand, since it's been so warm, the trees are starting to bud out and Les is getting spring allergy symptoms.

While we are warm here, only 50 miles north of us and above are being buried under FEET of snow. Not only that, but people are freezing to death in Istanbul and Europe. As I understand it, the Gulf Stream that circulates warmer waters up to western Europe is disappearing, so the weather there is cooling off. drastically.

I'm wondering if this is because the nations have gathered against Israel and are trying to divide the land. Europe has welcomed in the people who would rejoice if Israel were no longer a nation at all. This goes back to God's blessing on Abraham "I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you."

I filter my world view through a Biblical lens. It's amazing how well current events match up with what the Bible says would happen in the end times.

Mowing

Today Les put a new filter and spark plug into the lawn mower and I tackled the back yard.  We didn't finish any too soon because the clouds built up and we have a gentle thunderstorm grumbling overhead right now. 

My point is that the season is running about two weeks early. 

By my own observation, I see that the summer follows the winter.  Now before you say "Duh!!", what I mean is that if the winter is warm, the summer will be hot.  If the winter is wet, the summer will be too.  And so on.  I use August fogs to predict the winter and the winter to predict the summer.

I'm predicting a hot, wet summer this year.  I've been saying that since January.  So far, my prediction is being borne out.  We'll see as the months pass.

Under the Weather

I saw the news reports from New Hampshire this morning talking about the primary results.  The reporter was in Manchester in the middle of JANUARY, and there was no snow on the ground.  Perhaps we in southern Indiana will have more snow than New Hampshire as of tomorrow evening.

Is this where I say, "THAT'S RIDICULOUS!!!"?

In a couple of days, this will be how it will be:

Abby will sniff the area where Buddy rolled in the snow.

And Buddy will be off exploring smells in the snow

The biggest difference will be that there will be more snow than this by Friday afternoon.

As a side note, I am also under the weather.  I faithfully got my flu shot this year, and had flu symptoms for ten days and am on my second round of the cold that's going around.  I'm more than done with  the germs this year.  I would love it if the weather would freeze solid and stay that way for a couple of months.  Maybe some of this would die off if the weather didn't bounce around all the time.

Thanks for visiting with me.
