Another cloudless sky on a work day? How can I stand it? My window gazing, all indulged during my lunch break, made me crazy with the desire to be outside. The minute I got home, I took Sophie up the road to watch the setting sun light up Crane Mountain. On the way back, we stopped to play with Zak, Sophie's yellow lab friend. As we returned home, the high peaks to the northeast glowed a light pink and pale orange, all a reflection from the sunset. Amazing.

And, yes, I still want to blog about my reading, but I had a half dozen phone calls to make before dinner, so please stay tuned for a later post.
