I would like that I think. Can't explain it, but the thing that is most missing from my existance here in the city is being able to just sit and watch the weather. Some of the *most* incredible things I have seen were just sitting in my front yard, looking northwest and watching northers blow in. The sky becomes the most *incredible* shade of blue. No wonder they're called blue northers! And I could just sit and watch them move in from miles away!
And in the spring... waiting for the showers. I don't know what makes it so but before the showers and afterward something is different and the colors on trees is different. A more vibrant and intense colors on the green of the foliage. And somehow, whatever the difference in the light is it *accentuates* the varying, intricate shades of green. There is no way to describe either of these things but completely worth sitting and watching and waiting for them to happen. Nothing compares.
This is a good thing about living far from any big cities! I know what you mean about things changing before a storm...and different shades depending on the strength. Before a really big wind and rain storm, things get almost yellowish...and still. It's really neat to try and predict what will happen next!
I imagine anywhere flat you can see much more...but I'm still not willing to give up my hills!
Makes me think of one of my favorite Judy Collins songs, "Someday Soon".
