Saturday
Posted: Sunday, 30 September 2007 |
Ye ken, ye get the worst weather at times, living on a peedie lump o rock in the North Sea. Gales, sleet, hail, rain that comes at ye sideways..and that`s chust the summers!
And it can be a wee bit depressing sometimes when the boats are cancelled again for it, or when ye have tae go and rescue your washing frae being eaten by the sheep in the next field.
But then a day like Saturday comes along and mak`s ye realise chust how damn lucky we are, living here.
For it was a richt bonny day, a day o glorious sun and even a little heat, nae wind, peaceful and just a fine, grand kind o day tae be ootdoors.
So yours truly stood oot and watched the sun set ower the fields and sea and fair sighed wi contentment.
Whenever I get tae feeling doon (which doesnae happen often mind you) I chust gaun ootside on sic a day and the fading rose light o the sun ower the darkening landscape puts everything intae perspective and so, I can gaun back indoors feeling a guid sicht mair refreshed. A bonny day, Saturday was.
I took some pics as weel, one o them o a wheen o hides on frames, for tae show I`m no always slacking off at archery! And one looking doon oor track, me digicam isnae the best so didnae really dae a guid job o capturing the licht but it was sic a fine, broad, beautiful sky I couldnae leave it unrecorded.
Hope everyone else is haeing a fine weekend tae. :-)

I think your hens are awfully clever HL, they have lined up in order of size. Did they see Chicken Run? {They're probably too young to have been in it.}

Fpu has a strange liking for thunder storms which I don't share. How do 5catgang cope with all the banging and flashing? You certainly have interesting weather...

Lovely pics as usual, Hermit. I used to enjoy thunderstorms until a neighbour's house got hit by lightening. Now I'm a wee bit more wary of 'em. lol! (Lightening that is, not the neighbours!)

this is pretty normal weather for end of september----its what they call over here "les grands mar茅es" l'equinox,i think in english! 5 cat gang don't seem to bother ,as i close all the shutters they dont see the lightning(me neither!) oor wullie does not appreciate it(probably senses my fear!)

Bonny? It was gorgeous. Our best summer day since May & the 3 days in August: sun, nae wind & nae midgies.

Surely the sand must lie on something?

we had a beautiful day here on Lewis as well, a beautiful few days in fact which was very unexpected as i heard all the old locals grumbling about how winter had set in now, but then thats what they always say as soon as we have a bit of wind and rain. Do your chickens sit and stare at you through the window like cats do??

tanith really! No cat would be so rude! Honest...
