Welcome: Good morning. It has been a wonderful journey to forecast your weather and share my life with all of you. I never expected in my earliest years that I would have a blog with such wonderful and dedicated followers such as yourselves. I thank you all so much for reading and sticking with me, even through my brain injury and its continuing migraines. It has been my honor to write for all of you. Even though I am retiring from Berkshire Weather today, the support you all have shared with me will remain present forever. I can't guarantee that there will never be another Bekrshire Weather post, but I would give it the equivalent likelihood of having snow in summer. I wrote a poem to honor today. Thank you everyone, I am truly grateful...

Poem: The Rain

The rains of time cloak the grass
in mist of age the sky grows thick
It pours on the gentle ground
A small green bud on its way
but will it see the light of day?

Fear not said the sun who pushed the clouds aside
The warmth of light glides against the plants leaves
With time gone by a dryness takes over
the grounds become hollow
yet raindrops do follow

From orange-brown green does return
water to clench the mighty burn
No scorch of sun nor flood of rain
can defeat the eternal plain
As time goes by who still remains?

Welcome: Good morning. Today is cooler than the past few days. Weather is fine. I look forward to taking a walk later. The ticks are rampaging through my yard. Both the front and back.

Welcome: Good morning. Today is Ms. Quinn's funeral.

Welcome: Good morning. My days of school are trickling to a halt. The weather is moderating out. Warm temperatures and some rain showers are the pattern now. I have noticed that the temperatures seem to be either very warm or very cool for this time of the year. Such extreme fluctuations so frequently are not good for the plants. Our pea and tomatoe plants look as if they have perished. On the flip side, I can't tell if my dad has began growing an onion...

Welcome: Good morning. There will be no post tomorrow as I will not be in school.  Yesterday I had some technical difficulties getting on and the day before that I had a migraine. The school year is counting down for me. Next week is my last week of regularly scheduled classes. The weather has been very strange recently. We keep going from hot temperatures to cold temperatures. The pattern should keep up. The only difference with the weather to come is that the gap between hot and cold temperatures will lessen. Tomorrow should be fine weather...

Welcome: Good morning. It is already too hot this morning. The humidity in this school is thicker inside than it is outside. When my time at PHS is over I will miss it. Even though the temperature can range from too cold all the way to too hot, this building has been my home for learning for four years. It deserves much credit in making me who I am today, for better or for worse, I thank PHS. Now I know you must be getting all teary eyed from my opening, but save your tears, there are still some more Berkshire Weather posts to come...

Welcome: Good morning. A fox has been spotted quite a few times in my neighborhood. I have seen it too. It left the carcass of it's prey on the road. The fox won't be too happy as rain showers seem abundant this week and next week. Some breaks will be noted, so your Saturday and Sunday weather will be fair. Overall there seems to be more of a mix of clouds and sun in the forecast for the next few weeks...

Welcome: Good morning. I can't believe I am writing this: frost is in the forecast. Those of us in higher elevations or in Bennington might have a little frost this morning. However, tomorrow is the real deal. Tonight might even hit freezing for some of us. Other than the frost the weather should be decent today and tomorrow. Enjoy the sun, and the frost too...

Welcome: Good morning. Three AP tests are done, one to go. It is looking like cloudy times for us, showery days are ahead. We have some plants that are having difficulty growing, others though are doing well. The plants with trouble were recently repotted. That might be the reason. I am certainly no garden expert, though the weather I do know a bit about. My sister has her first AP test today, I know she will do great and that I am very proud of her...

Welcome: Good morning. Chilly this morning. Ok, I am ready for summer. My advisor for this independent study saw some flakes yesterday. Well, I have decided, no more winter weather, no more spring, I want summer. While my dad and I were walking yesterday we saw a fox. We also found the remains of what it ate. A fun fact is that warm temperatures and frequent rain speed up decomposition. Maybe that is not that fun after all...
