A Sunrise and Sunset of Orange Sherbet {Sky Watch Friday!}

It was back to school this week.

The kids were buzzing about their Christmas surprises...
...and I was happy to hear that some of them received books as gifts.

Even though we are on the brighter side of the winter solstice,
the sun still sets pretty early.

Each time I leave school on the later side of the day, a beautiful gift waits for me.

a beautiful sunset

On the 4th, the sunset gave me a smile and a simile .

The sunset was like orange sherbet.

The sunrise this morning treated me to the same 

~ orange sherbet ~

  and on the way home a sundog that was like rainbow sherbet!

We're supposed to get snow tonight and tomorrow.

When my children were younger, and a storm was approaching, they always checked with me to see if we would have a delay or better yet, a snowday.  {I was almost always right}.  Well, my prediction is that we'll have school on time tomorrow... the snow will come... and MAYBE we'll go home early {maybe}.
