March 28

I was just walking through the house like usual this evening when I noticed the sun, enormous and quite red, hovering over the hills. So I bolted outside into the backyard and up the steps to the deck, and when I turned around to face the valley, this is what I saw.

So I guess the big ball of fire doesn't look super large here, but it was still impressive. 

It was chilly out --a far cry from the 80-something high temp of just a few days ago-- but I stood there until the sun completed its descent. 

It was a lovely, calming sight, and I am grateful that I had the chance to witness the show.
