YES, I HAVE SEEN THIS WEATHER COLOR GREEN

06 February 2018 Tuesday
Dayrise.
Light grey white grey violet grey blue grey.
A line of white gold along the horizon.
My horizon is tree tops.
It used to be ocean.

Yes, I have seen this weather color green.
Inland as well as coast.
I just didn't know how to describe it. 

Here is how Nora Roberts describes it in HEART OF THE SEA, Chapter Eighteen
"Had you ever seen that green tint to the clouds' edges before? Had  you ever tasted air that had such a flavor of mean in it?"
"She would hit, they said, and hit hard."

"A storm hovered over the village, marching down from the northeast to camp on the border as an army digs in for a siege. The rising winds and splattering rain that were its leading edge chased people from the beaches, and brought a nasty chill. The sky, thick and bruised and ominous, had even the locals glancing upward with apprehension.
     Had you ever seen that green tint to the clouds' edges before? Had you ever tasted air that had such a flavor of mean in it?
     She would hit, they said, and hit hard.
     Those who'd been through such things before checked their stock of candles and lamp oil and batteries. Supplies were laid in, and children ordered to stay close to home. Boats were secured in their docks as Ardmore prepared for the coming battle."

Light gray white grey violet grey blue grey.
A line of white gold at the horizon.
