Last night the moon glowed like some bright and never before discovered jewel.

This morning, just after sunrise, Venus was so bright it blazed through the thin layer of pink cloud stretched in the east. Blazed in the daylight.

Yesterday, it was nearly 90 degrees here, breaking a record.

I watched a cardinal, red male, take a bath.

I watched my son stuff a goalie glove into a document sleeve as part of his high school portfolio.

The sky is the blue of periwinkle.
