"I was supposed to control the weather"... Jack and the Wind

[Brown Eyes]

 

I'm here to report that I very consciously wore a pure black suit to work today with a sky blue shirt underneath!  The best part is that the blue shirt has white cuffs and a white collar... so I snuck the black and white/ yin and yang idea in at the same time!

   I love how we are all reporting our outfits!

OK, here's mine: When I got dressed today I knew I was going to wear jeans (cropped, because it was about 80). (I dress casually because I work out of my home, for those who don't know.) So then I wondered ... what shirt? And it was like a V-8 forehead slapping moment. A black T-shirt, of course!

Fashion Report

Toast in jeans as predicted, blue hanky around the neck, and my white Gorilla Glue T-Shirt.  oh yes, blue checked boxers too.

It was a great (but rainy) Jack and the Wind day for me.
My jacket was blue and black and white.

Muah!

We had a first-class thunderstorm and even some tornado warnings in the area today!  So, I guess this was weather worthy of Lighnting Flat... or of a stormy day on Brokeback.

Yesterday I took my daughter to her horseback riding lessons. Where the stables are is a national park and I went walking on a nature trail. It was warm and sunny. I walked the trail till I came to a turn off and followed that for awhile. I came to a board walk that ended in a deck over a pond created by a beaver dam. There were reeds and swamp grass all around. As I sat there looking over the water and thinking suddenly the wind picked up. The reeds were dancing and the wind was whispering through the tall grass. I couldn't help thinking of our Jack. There had really been no wind that day until I was alone there in the woods with my thoughts. It was then my thoughts turned to Jack and I couldn't help but shed a tear. I know he's not a real person but he has and Ennis have had such an impact on my life. I am so glad I have come to know them and love them and learn from them.

Thank you for that beautiful post, Lee. Last night I was taking a picture of the full moon and the breeze brushed through the pine trees gently and brought me their vanilla smell. I sensed the spirit of Jack most powerfully!

Was it a sweet salty stink?

Was it a sweet salty stink?

Yes without the salty part. (I'm Ennis's salt shaker, so I can supply that part!)

Having only just signed on I've only just read this thread but here I am, quite accidentally wearing blue and black and having been thinking about Jack and the wind ever since it started blowing a gale a day or two back. I woke this morning to rain and twigs and stuff hitting the roof with some force, and a whole new way of looking at the last camping trip spewing forth from my brain so I had to jump up and write it out. I felt that listening to the wind all night had inspired me. I could just be nuts, of course.

Well Howdy and Welcome! If you're nuts your in good company here!
I watched the movie again last night. I really paid attention to the wind and Wow, what a big part it plays in the story.
I was blown away! LOL (pun intended)
