It's "Witchy" Outside

No, this is not about Halloween.

To me, "witchy" is a special kind of weather. It is warm, not hot and windy. It can be threatening rain or raining. But, it is a swirling, gusty wind. It can happen in the daytime or at night. But, when this kind of weather happens, it has a very weird feeling. The leaves swirl, the shutters flap, hopefully the windows are closed.

If you're outside, look out, things are flying.

In Paris, we have this kind of weather in the fall. We were playing tennis with friends the night of the Beaujolais Nouveau in November when the wind whipped up, and the weather seemed very volatile. Perfect for a fall event.

Today in Cap Ferrat, the sky got cloudy about 5 PM. Good for my skin, I came home from the beach early. We relaxed for awhile but as the bullfrogs came out for the night and the birds went home to wherever they go at night, the wind whipped up. It started to rain, the sky is dark. The awning is flapping and the leaves are blowing.

It's "witchy" outside right now.
