Monday Writing: Free write about the wind

The wind has been blowing all day. This morning it was a slight breeze accompanied by scattered clouds. This afternoon it has picked up somewhat and is still accompanied by scattered clouds. The clouds are white and fluffy. The decorate the blue sky like diamonds on a blue silk ballgown. True I have never owned a silk gown of any type. I think I do have a piece of silk material somewhere in the house probably in a dresser drawer that I have to clean out.

Across the street an olive tree is waving in the wind. As the wind blows through the olive's limbs the leaves flicker in the sunlight. The flickering leaves remind me of emeralds flashing and sparkling; I am reminded of an emerald necklace sparkling as its wearer dances to a classic waltz. Emeralds are one of my favorite precious stones, I do not care for diamonds, but emeralds, rubies, and sapphires are different and much more beautiful then diamonds.

This afternoon the wind speed changes every three or four minutes. Sometimes it  is a gentle breeze caressing the limbs of trees. Then it picks up and is stronger for several minutes before slowing down for a few minutes. It is a nice day. It is not too hot or too cold. The wind and the clouds make it a beautiful autumn afternoon.
