After the Rain
I feel like I’ve been stuck writing about two things lately: the deployment and the baby. Those are clearly two pretty ginormous things going on in my life right now, but I wanted to let you know that there’s life outside those two topics. Kind of.
This week we’ve had several days of steady cold rain. One day we even had huge snowflakes at our house, but nothing stuck to the ground here. Where they did stick was on the Dolomites (the “pre-Alps”) right behind our house; they got a gorgeous dusting of snow while we got the gloomy rain.
I was driving home today and realized how gorgeous it was outside. The sun was shinning and the sky was incredibly blue—such a drastic contrast to the weather we’ve been having (it’s supposed to rain again all next week, so I’m thrilled we at least had a lovely few hours today). This area is usually really hazy, too, so we cherish days where everything is crisp and clear.
Anyway, I made my usual turn to go home and gasped when I saw the mountains in front of me. I usually try to take a shaky photo while I’m driving (horrible, I know; I always make sure there’s nobody else on the road), but I have a baby to think about now, so this time I pulled over and whipped out my iPhone.

Oh My Goodess!!! That is amazingly beautiful!!! I bet you never get sick of seeing that!! Here in Cali we can see mountains off in the distance with snow caps and I LOVE it, but nothing THAT close!! #jealous
Hey, so random question….I am looking into a premade blog template and was looking at some Cinnamon Girl stuff – do you like what you've worked with?! Would you recommend it?
wow, so pretty! I wish I lived somewhere scenic. Houston is the total opposite!
WOW! Amazing photos! Isn't it amazing how nice iPhone pics come out?!
Beautiful! What a blessing to have such wonderful landscape around you!
Wow, that's stunning!! What a beautiful surprise. I hope to live somewhere with something close to a mountain landscape view one day…
Absolutely gorgeous pictures! 🙂
Wow Jess, those are amazing! I'm so glad you stopped to take these 🙂 And glad you were able to enjoy a little of the nice weather!
Beautiful! That is SUCH a clear blue sky! I love the shot you got in your side view mirror!
So pretty and when I glimpsed at your post, I actually thought those pics were taken in New Mexico at first 🙂
So gorgeous! Whenever I see splendid things like that, it always reminds me of the glory of this world and the power that created it!
WOW! Soooo pretty!! It's nice and warm in Texas right now (in the 60's). But I'm gearing up to head back to Idaho where it's cold and snowy.
Beautiful!! (You've popped back up on BlogLovin btw!)
