The old nautical saying states red sky in morn; sailor be warned. Red sky at night; sailor's delight. Well I'm not about to do any sailing.... something about the water being hard enough to walk on.... not very conducive to boating or sailing. But the red sky is beautiful. It has been a cold, blustery and snowy day today. My daughter's school closed 2 hours early and her Christmas program scheduled for tonight was postponed. But as you can see the weather is improving. The clouds have departed and the sun is shining (if ever so briefly). As I write this the sun has set and night has come. The winter wind is howling and the outdoor wood furnace is smoking trying to keep up with the demands my warm-loving family is placing on it. The dogs are still enjoying the snow and the six or seven cats have found the "igloo" we buried in the mulch pile to keep them warm on cold windy nights like this.I should be making supper... or any of a hundred other things.... but looking at the sunset and sky from the comforts of our cozy little warm living room was comforting. I am oh-so-thankful for the blessings we have been given. New thinsulate coveralls with a great attached hood, a tractor with a super snowblade, a wood burning furnace with a huge supply of ready fuel all stacked up next to it, children playing together, and promises of a yet-to-be-made supper to fill our tummies.... these are blessings and joys. May you too find some joy in the sunsets around you this evening.
