of pink and blue

Life's journal

It has begun that time of year when the Sun rises ten minutes after the sound of my alarm. Typically I raise the shutter on the east-facing side of the house, go to the kitchen and start making coffee and the rest of breakfast for my wife, meanwhile giving treats to the cats who have been waiting patiently for at least half an hour for my awakening in anticipation of their tasty snack.

The coffee bubbles in the moka, and the house begins to light up. It is cloudy today, and the sunlight with its soft awakening explodes in a range of pinks and oranges in the sky.

I sit at the table, the room here is facing west and the sky is very cloudy, with a strong mistral moving these immense piles of clouds, the red of the sunrise is reflected on the buildings further on, and a wonderful color contrast is created.

It is a free spectacle that I have been lucky enough to enjoy here at home for the past sixteen years. To be able to enjoy it once again, especially after this year's medical events, has an even more special flavor.
Have a nice day!
