One of the greatest pleasures of outdoor living seldom gets mentioned, let alone glorified like it deserves to be. I refer to a partly cloudy sky. Not completely cloudy -- I need to do some solar charging after all. Besides, the contrast of blue sky and clouds is wonderful.
For two days of the last three I have deliberately walked outdoors without a hat on. The sky was not at war with me, for a change. It felt so liberating to go au naturel like this! Gone was the usual fear and dread. I could feel safe and friendly and expansive towards the kindly immensity of the sky. I gushed over it.
Of course then I got greedy and believed the weather forecast of 0.42" of rain. We got 0.06"-- it serves me right. Still, that is more than we have gotten for two months.
