At 7:32 this morning, as I walked down the steps on the way to the garage where I keep my car, I was greeted by this lovely early morning sky. It seems like such a short time ago that at this hour, there would not have been nearly enough light for the built-in camera in my iPhone to produce a usable image. I love it when the days are getting longer! By the way, the illusion of a brighter and perhaps even sunny day was short-lived:  the clouds rolled in quickly, and it rained most of the day again. Surely we must be breaking all kinds of precipitation records this season...
