Pink Sky on President’s Day

Today is President’s Day. UPPC is closed, so is the headquarter of PCUSA in Louisville where Irvin works from home – a deployed position. We both have things to do, bible studies to prepare, articles to write, emails requiring replies…

But there was sunshine today at that was the opportunity of a pause. We walked Sitka in the Spring-like weather. As usual, she insisted she would bark every time we would pass by other strollers, two or four legged ones, even if she eventually shared silent moments of fellowship, muzzle to muzzle, with some friendly dogs. 

That was the opportunity to wonder about a topic that regularly comes back in our conversation : make sure Denali does not follow Sitka’s example.

When the sun went down, the sky became pink and luminous. We know that the East coast is struggling with mountains of snow and frigid temperatures right now. I wish we could switch somewhat : some warmth for them, a few snowflakes for us. We hardly had any winter.

But it does not work that way. Each area has its own climate. We can only wish that Spring season will eventually cross the Rocky mountains…
