April 4th
We report: the clouds are masquerading as soft and sweet, summery even, but do not fall for their treacherous appearance. In a few moments, when the blue sky has your trust, it will starts raining again. Curtains of rain, a bucketful, right on your head, when you least expect it.
April 1st
We report: oh the messiness, oh the inconvenience of beautiful weather. We could leave it be, go through our days without care for what the sky is doing. The intricacies, after all, do not matter in the grand scheme of things. But, truth is, we abandon everything for a nice cloud.
March 31st
We report: March coming to an end in loud bursts of storms and blue skies all the same. It is a month that exists to give way to something different, to contain change. We have a hope that there is more after this, before all of our pieces get scattered in the wind.
March 30th
We report on a slow day: our heavy heart sits in the warmth of this two-tone sunset, tight throat with the sharp, green wind swirling above the pond. We forgot the bird names we learned last spring, but they are all here tonight, scratching the mirror of water when they fly low.
March 29th
We report: it is the sky, the very same, the one we have known since we were born. It is in the same spot, has not moved from its superior position, is very reliable. It is interesting, then, that it is also so unpredictable and prone to changes. The clouds just turned blue.
March 28th
We report from the inside of a cloud: we can see the mist roll over the grass, heavy and slow in the stillness that the fog invokes. We think we ought to move at the same pace, that we ought to let the fog do what it needs to do so that it may rise at some point.
March 27th
We report: a little dip back into winter, these last few days. It is all very well and good to imagine going past a certain point and affirm that "here is the new season", but the reality of the matter is much different. Still, the sun makes valiant efforts to climb ever higher.
March 26th
We report large gashes wide open all over the sky, like two people each grabbed one opposite end and pulled as hard as they could. Like, say, perhaps, a reporter and their expert, hypothetically, if that was something someone could do. Either way, the light is fading quick.
March 25th
We report: it is marshy here, and we are struggling to pick our feet back up every time we put them down. We speak low, but the sound of our steps is louder than our voice anyway. We watch our expert's back through the fog of our breath. The full moon is completely obscured.
March 24th
We report a messy morning, windy enough to make waves in the large puddles on our path. The light is indolent, dragging behind as the rest of the world moves forward. We feel a bit small, a bit sideways, a little upside down; maybe the low clouds feel heavy on our shoulders.
March 23rd - 10 PM
We report short showers at night, loud but difficult to see. Clouds pass by, borrowing dark, shimmering colours from the moon. It is almost full, the moon; it is at least bright enough that we feel like we are missing out when we are not looking. A shiver when it is fully hidden.
March 23rd - 7 PM
We report: there has to be a lot of wind for the clouds to be chased in and out like that, and it was windy indeed, today. We witnessed so many different skies; perhaps the wind was the only constant. The sun is now hovering precariously over the horizon, clouds are still moving.
March 23rd - 4 PM
We report in the middle of the afternoon: having solely looked at the cloudier part of the sky for the past couple of hours, it came as a surprise to us that there was a less cloudy part. It revealed itself as a bright yellow light that lit everything on its path on fire.
March 23rd - 1 PM
We report: the sky has begun to darken again, and the sunlight has gradually waned. Looking at the bold intensity of the blue sky this morning, we had assumed it would remain unwavering through the day; but the winds have changed, and the air smells different now.
March 23rd - 10 AM
We report about more light in this sky than we remember getting in a long time. We are careening through the month of March, the sky is still holding up, the sun is shining well enough - all of this, frankly, against all odds. We are hoping to keep this going for a little while.
March 23rd - 7 AM
We report: the storm did not last very long in the night, but the air remains saturated with rain. It has made this morning feel colder than any other this past week. The sky is slowly clearing out; many birds about, loud in a way that is only acceptable from birds.
March 23rd - 4 AM
We report about spring thunderstorms, which we had somehow forgotten existed - quite the feat, since our expert mentioned them just as spring arrived. We managed to observe a few lightning bolts, which remained etched onto our retinas until we went back to sleep.
