Driving home from the elevator the other morning I noticed the clouds were starting to thin…
giving to me (and anyone who wanted to look) a view of a sky–a sky so vast it makes one dizzy to look up….then I saw it—
A true look at the sun! A perfect gift from the heavens!
At first I thought I was seeing the moon. Once home I looked up the moon phases on the calendar and I realized we were in a sliver of a moon phase so this truly was the sun!
What an amazing and joyful site…to actually see the sun without blinding myself!
Your friend,

Most days we didn’t see the sun at all this week, Hope it returns soon -30 this AM..brrrr:(

Not sure how to express this, but I would have found that amazing too…and I can understand that moment of thinking, against all odds, that it was actually the moon because that is what it FELT like.

It did feel like the moon. Even has shadows that made me think it was the moon, but no…our wonderful sun!

I love the sun “coming out” this time of year. It does look like a silvery moon though.

No, the clouds were terribly thick, but starting to thin…as they thinned they shaded the sun perfectly for us to see the sun!

Thanks, John. Sunshine here…although we do NOT like working on Sunday, the moisture content was just right so Terry opened the field. One truck loaded. We will work better tomorrow if everything holds together.

Seeing the sun through a veil of cloud or mist is one of my favourites too. Hope the corn is drying out and you’ll get the last field in soon.

We got in today. We don’t like to work on Sunday, but the moisture content was right so we took the opportunity.

We haven’t seen the sun for quite a few days Linda – it is always a joy to behold after a dull spell.

It’s a cold looking sun, but it IS the sun and having spent many winters in Oregon without seeing much of it at all for days, I know it is a gift many would be thrilled to share! And it is rather amazing to be able to stare at it. (For those of us living in Florida , it would be best not to try this at home!)
