september twenty-first

When we walked outside for dismissal today, it had become overcast and there was an eerie feeling to the air. It was quite windy. Everyone on the yard was staring up at the sky, shielding their faces from things blowing around. A giant blimp was flying overhead! Quite surreal. Blimps are at once both antiquated and futuristic. Like seeing a really old-fashioned UFO.

There was some awesome cloudage on my way home from work. The sky was very dark and the clouds were giant puffs of gray with white highlights. Along the 110 between Florence and Gage there are rows and rows of palm trees, their green heads all sticking up bright against the stormy background.

As soon as we returned home from Kol Nidre services, the heavens opened and torrential rain poured down. So kind that God waited for recess to be through. So fitting for the day of repentance.

All in all, a stellar day for the sky.
