The Sunrise of October 22, 2007
We slept with our window open last night. A strong wind was blowing. In the middle of the night my husband had to get up and close it because the clouds finally let down their rain. The sky had been heavy with clouds since the early evening hours.
@ 7:10 this morning the sky is still dark. I know the sun is rising because the sky is a dark blue not black. The cars on the road still have their lights on. In about 30 minutes the brightness of the day will be apparent
. . . but no spectacular sunrise this morning. 🙂
