Sky On Fire

A gratuitous view of our Saturday evening sunset. The sun rose on Saturday morning at 8:41 and set at 5:09 that afternoon. That's eight and a half hours.

Click on the picture for the full effect.

It feels like even less when the sky is overcast. But Saturday was brilliantly clear and it felt good. A few wispy clouds late in the day were responsible for this view from the bedroom window. Today, Sunday, we'll enjoy one additional minute of daylight.

    Gorgeous sunset! Walt, I made a pizza from scratch yesterday. I put the dough directly on top of the stone. With a salad and pineapple for desert, it was a healthy dinner.

    For some reason, I'm a fan of long nights and short days -- the colors of the sky change, the clouds and sun look differently.
