Green clouds

Living at 3600 feet in the Cascades is going to be interesting for a long time, I think. Yesterday it was over 90 degrees during the day and we went for a float down the Deschutes through town. People were picnicing at parks along the way and swimming in the river. In the late afternoon a thunder and lightening storm developed, which treated us to a spectacular light display. It lasted an hour or so. It remained warm and dry and we gathered in the street with the neighbors to watch. As the sun went down we saw a simply breathtaking sunset with more colors in the sky than I can remember ever seeing, including deep green clouds set on a light turquoise sky. We raised a glass of wine to that.
