The other day, Bill was on the landing at just the right time to see the last moment of the sunset, with the giant orange ball sinking out of sight. I dashed around the corner to look at the sky, sorry to have missed what had come before, but still happy to drink in the beauty that remained. I also made a note of the time, so I could watch out for more sunsets in the days ahead. Of course, we then had a few days of solid grey sky, so there was no need to check on the sunset. I knew it was happening behind the curtain of grey, but I wasn;t going to be able to see it.
This evening it seemed like there was a chance, so at around 6, I went on the landing to look. As soon as I opened the door, I was quite hopeful, because the space was filled with an orange glow. Sure enough, there was the sun. I tossed on my jacket, grabbed my bag, hurried downstairs, and raced around the corner to watch the show. It was gorgeous.
How grateful I am to be able to walk outside and see such beauty.

The big show on Saturday night :-)
"I knew it was happening behind the curtain of grey"... I´ll keep that in mind, beautifully said.
And, yes, wow, you see this view just stepping out? Happy, lucky you, please keep on sharing!
It's around the corner :-)
It sure was gorgeous as seen in these stunningly beautiful photos.
Now you can see the sunset whenever you wish!
Yes! And a good thing, too--the sky is back to uniformly grey and there is a lot of rain in the forecast. Probably no visible sunsets this week.
As much as I love a rainy forecast, and how clean it makes the air and helps things grow, these are so so beautiful! <3
We enjoy moments like these when we encounter them 🙂 Probably no visible sunsets this week.
