Today will be a good day if....

Woke up this morning to the sun coming brilliant gold in the window and across the floor. The pasture - the grass was coated in dew, almost looked like frost, silvered in the morning sunlight. I couldn't see anything moving there or in the trees, but I could hear the birds calling to each other as I got ready for the day.

It's supposed to rain off and on all weekend, which removes any pretensions I had of sealing the deck yet, but at least it should be pretty.

Right now, outside my window? A sky shaded from pale to deep sky blue, spattered with clouds that are improbably-for-the-hour tinted tan-pink. The sunlight is falling, clear but not harsh, on the building opposite; its facade is about the same color normally, so it's a peculiarly well-set match. The shadows are still soft, and it's cool, and everything looks clean.

Today will be a good day if it follows the start it's made.

New toy!

Hey, they made the lj-cut tag into one you can close. So....

( Of course I have to play with it. )

The sky is the most amazing shade of blue now, even moreso than it was earlier. The clouds are fewer and very puffy, and the sun is starting to give sharper shadows - still not harsh, but not pleasantly soft-edged.
