"On the morning my husband left me, hours before I knew he would, I looked at the bruised March sky and recognized tornado green.
I'd seen that peculiar algae shade before--anyone who grew up in Ohio had--but my intimate relationship with storms was a bit of family lore.
When I was eight, I tried to touch a tornado."
...The Blessings of the Animals by Katrina Kittle

"bruised March sky".
I love it!
Hi Carla,
I really loved that too! I'm right in the middle of this book and really am enjoying her writing! Will include some of these painterly descriptions in my review!
"Bruised" is a perfect description of a tornado sky! Not to mention the aftermath...
Hi Yard Bard,
Sounds like you have some experience with tornados! I loved the way the author used "bruised" March sky, but thinking more of it, you are right that the word also applies to the aftermath.
