Skywatch Friday ~ May 16, 2025

Hello everyone,

After some sunny but not yet quite hot weather, we are now getting more spring showers. You know the old saying?  April showers, brings May flowers. But it feels much colder than usual at this time of year and though I know there are flowers elsewhere, mine aren't yet at that stage.

Anyway, I take the rain as it comes. I don't mind it as long it isn't raining heavily for weeks on end as it can sometimes do.  We west coasters get out and about no matter the weather.  Today I had to get out for a walk and do some errands.  I don't carry an umbrella anymore and since it was more than drizzling, I stopped to buy a plastic rain poncho at the dollar store.





After running errands I stopped for a Japanese Bento Box of Chicken Teriyaki and tea to warm up.  It was delicious.  


Once I got home, I finished crocheting a set of dishcloths. This is the first time I've made this pattern and actually the first time I've made a crocheted dishcloth. Normally I make a simple knitted version.  I picked the pattern from a YouTube video. The pattern is called Berry Pattern.



I hope you are enjoying the weather and the skies where ever you are. Thanks for stopping by my post for this week's Skywatch Friday.

    1. The food was definitely good and I agree that the colours of the dishcloths are pretty. They show up much better in the crocheted version of the dishcloths than in the knitted version.

  3. I live in the midwestern section of the U.S.A. This area has four seasons. I too go out whatever the weather is. The saying is "if you don't like the weather wait five minutes." So true. Rainy day shots are sometimes even better than blue skies. Enjoy the moment.

    1. Yes, we have 4 seasons also. I agree that rainy shots can be better sometimes. That's as long as the sky is not one blanket of gray which it can sometimes be here.

  6. I've never minded getting wet in the rain. When I was a kid, the only way I could get off by myself, (to settle myself) was to go stand out in the rain. I remember one time I did that and came inside and an exasperated counselor grabbed my shoulders and shook me asking what was wrong with me (I was about 10 years old). I just twisted away from him.

    1. I think all kids love the rain. I remember playing in the mud puddles in the rain. The puddles were in our driveway and they were deep and the mud was very squishy in our toes, lol. I'm sorry your counsellor shook you for doing something.you enjoyed and that wasn't hurting anyone.

  7. Prairie folks need rain but they don't like being out in the rain.
