Sunrises here have been amazingly gorgeous lately. It could just be that I am noticing them because we had such a long stretch of overcast mornings, but the vivid pinks and oranges are a lovely way to start my morning.

Yes. One of the many things I am loving about the sunrises this time of year is that they're so late in the morning that it's no hardship for me to get up in time to watch!

Are you traveling tomorrow-day, or leaving after work?

Right-o. Hope you get south before the "mixed precipitation" we're supposed to get tomorrow night begins...

Oh! and if you can, go watch the sun set down at the earth clock--there was a cool article about it in the Free Press this morning.

the sun has usually set by the time I get out of work these days. How sad is that!

Yeah, it's usually dark for me too...but we can at least think real loud about watching the sun set (in an hour or so) over the lake, watching it sink behind the mountains in a blaze of red and gold...and how, in the morning, it will come up a little earlier than it did today!! Yay!!
