Grey, and exciting

pecuniumIt's a weathery day. Has been since yesterday. A piece of the "Pineapple Express" is giving us some of the less common rain from down south (most of our rain comes down out of the Bering Sea). When Maia and I headed onto Poly to trim the pots we threw Friday night at Throwfest (the Craft Center's annual 24 hour free-clay marathon. If you trim and glaze your own pots, it's 2 bucks a piece to keep them, if you leave it for the staff, it's four. If you volunteer you get to keep; gratis, one pot per hour worked. I think I'm owed at least two more pots than the three I threw, but they gave us each a fifty lb. box of Laguna's WS 05, so I guess I got a bunch of free pots out of it after all) the sky was covered with a thin sheet of rumpled clouds, torn and patchy.
When we came out, three hours later, it was thicker, like clotted cream. High clouds, altocumulus, and streaming past the mountain tops.
Down on the ground the wind was still.
All there were brief flurries of wind.
Today, the clouds are low, and dull. When I look at the sattelite pictures the look thin, and from the ground the light is grey, with yellow notes. The wind gusts, and there's an advisory that it will do so all day, at up to 25 miles an hour. I wonder what the shore looks like, and I wish the D2H wasn't having it's brain repaired in El Segundo, because the gale warning (wind from the SW) for the past 30+ hours means the seas are probably high, and hitting the rocks from the better light.
At the moment the air is still, and some rain is falling, straight down, and softly.
This is that kind of weather.

Western wind when wilt though blow
That the small rain down can rain?
Oh! that my love were in my arms
And I in my bed againThis is that kind of weather.

L.A. has apparently been getting a lot of rain too.
Oh well.
