It says partly cloudy, but even the scant areas of blue are faint as a thin layer of clouds is up there refusing to clear away long enough for those little patches to be the color they might be. Soon enough even those will be gone as solid clouds close in bringing rain. In fact, as of now, it appears that only two days in the coming week – Thursday and possibly Saturday – will give us a break from precipitation. And who knows, things can change with the elimination of even those days offering something other than rain. It is that time of year where the rains will become more regular, stripping the color from the trees and leaving not much more than bare branches by around mid-November. Sad, but that’s the way it goes.
