Couldn't you just look at the sky forever?
If you've been a reader for a while, you probably know about my love for clouds. I don't like the rainy, dreary sort, but the kind that appear on sunny days? Oh, I love them!
There's such a variety and they never get old to me. I'm not very good at photographing them, but I try, and even when I don't get my camera out, I soak in the view.
A thing I like about these scenes is that they are available to everyone, everywhere. You don't have to be rich or famous to take in the glorious scenery above our heads...you just have to take a minute to stop, look, and be amazed.

P.S. Today is the the release date for Crystal Paine's new book, Money-Making Mom! I just finished reading my review copy on Sunday, and I'll share my thoughts about the book soon.
P.P.S On Saturday, I actually wrote a blog post (!). I almost never blog on Saturdays, but I wanted to share pictures of our carved pumpkins, since that's kind of a yearly tradition around here. So, in case you missed that, click here to check 'em out.
YES! The sky is so alluring. I often get lost in the clouds when I sit on my porch that overlooks a wide expanse of sky. Nature has such an impact on my life.

I really like your new format! I only read 3-4 blogs, and I find I go to yours first. What's interesting about that: I'm a 58 year old mom of two teens, in a pretty comfortable financial situation and practice a different faith than yours. I find what you write isn't specific to age, exact finances or religious faith.
I love that...I'm always so encouraged to hear that my blog is helpful and interesting to a wide variety of people. Thanks for the encouragement!
Yes! Love all of the different shapes and textures, from the zoomy streaks to the fluffy pillows. We like to figure out what the shapes look like too. Just moved to the countryside and the kids are loving the massive skies we can enjoy here 🙂
I too love looking at the sky. However, today I will not be doing any sky watching. My migraine doesn't like that kind of light even when it's cloudy.
Now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone.
So many things I would've done
But clouds got in my way.
Okay I can't be the only one thinking of Judy Collins when I read your post.
I actually know that song from Roger Whittaker singing it!
I was thinking the exact same thing:
I've looked at clouds from both sides now,
From up and down,
And still somehow,
It's clouds illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds, at all...
We were in Annapolis right on the water last night for a soccer game and the sky was AMAZING!!!
Battra, this one is for you. Name that song:
"When I want rain, I get stormy weather.
I'm just as blue as the sky."
Great pic, Kristen! Love your comment on how the glorious scenery above our heads is for everyone.
I think it's:
"When I want rain, I get sunny weather" 🙂
Love me some Frank Sinatra!
Very lovely and agreed -- we don't see so many clouds here in SoCal -- tend toward blue and bluer and it actually gets old. So, thank you for this!
Yes, thank you! There's something about the clarity of light right now that's just stunning... Last night I left things bubbling over on the stove because we had to just stand outside a few minutes and soak it in and appreciate the beauty.
I LOVE looking at clouds!
Kristen really enjoy reading your blog, it's both interesting and informative..& always soo visual with your great photos..thank you for sharing with us..from an Irish fan 🙂
When I was younger, my dad would just look into the woods behind our house. As a young kid, I wondered what he was looking at ... it was just a bunch of trees. Nowadays, I do the same thing. There's something calming about staring into the woods or the ocean or the clouds, I love it now.
As I'm apt to say..."We don't look up enough." I love looking at the sky!
Barb, it IS "sunny, not stormy weather." Too much multitasking leads to mistakes. I love songs of the Big Band era.
