Saturday Sky

Cell phone pictures are much better quality than they used to be. Tedious to upload to the web, but good enough quality to sub in for the camera temporarily.

Yesterday was gorgeous, but cold. I snapped this one on my way back from the first meeting of the St. Louis Gateway Knitters. It's going to be nice to have even more options to go out & knit with folks on whichever weekends my kids are at their dad's house.

Wednesday Sky from April 6th, 2011

Camp KIP

No Saturday Sky picture, because my camera broke less than 24 hours after this was taken.

This picture is from Wednesday, April 6th, at Camp KIP. (More on that later...)

Snow is gone again. Hopefully Spring is really here now.

Looks prettier in the sunshine, but the buds on the trees don't look happy

Just as grey as last week, but now with snow. Um, hello, Spring? Are you having some difficulties showing your face this year?

Somewhat grey and dreary day, but the buds are starting to come out on the trees and the weather is supposed to be lovely tomorrow.

Sunrise this morning

I obviously was not yet awake when I uploaded this picture to my computer, as I put "Jan 2010" as the title. Yep, it's time for more coffee.

Saturday Sky for May 9th, 2009



It was an absolutely gorgeous day yesterday! We had family over for a combined Birthday/Mother's Day celebration. The grownups sat on the back porch & chatted while the kids played outside most of that time.

April 4th Saturday Sky



Taken from the backseat on the way into Kansas City. Being a passenger for a change meant lots of knitting time!

Sky pictures on Saturday


We've occasionally been hearing an owl outside, which is unusual for our suburban area. Earlier this week, I managed to catch a decent picture of it in our neighbor's tree. Have I mentioned that I love the zoom on my camera?



I wasn't sure I'd manage a sky picture today. It's been very rainy here for the past couple of days. We did have a bit of a break in it during the middle of the day today, though, which gave me a chance to take my camera outside without worrying about it getting wet.

Happy Birthday wishes to Margene & to my Mother-in-law, who will probably never read this...

We woke up to grey skies & a dusting of snow coming down here this morning. The sun is out now, & the roads didn't have anything stick to them. It was just enough snow to look pretty.

The geese have left the pond & shaken the snow off their backs. They certainly look much prettier in this picture than when they are honking around my backyard.

Saturday Sky, the First Flurries Edition



Shortly after taking this picture, I saw my first snow flurries of the year. It's definitely knitwear weather around here now!
