Clouds

The weather has been so variable this spring. Last week, it was close to seventy degrees and sunny every day. I was working in shorts and bare feet. We were so hot one afternoon that we went straight to South Beach after work for a quick dip in the still cold ocean. Summertime had arrived.

Until this week. Cold, rainy, windy. Instead of shorts, we've been fully suited up in layers of sweaters and rain gear. The wind in Katama is absolutely ferocious and I was worried as I watched all our broccoli and kale bending dramatically until they were horizontal on the soil. Our sunflowers and tomatoes, waiting to be planted, took a beating in their seed trays, the edges of their leaves turning black from wind burn.

But, the worst of the bad weather for the week is over, and we seem to have come out alright. Today, our vegetables could stand up straight again. And we could breath a little easier while taking in the spectacular sight of the clouds rolling over the Katama plains.
