I went outside and watched a hummingbird sip from the jasmine blossoms, while the acorn woodpeckers chattered and the jays screeched. Strong breezes unleashed fresh showers from the laden leaves and needles of the trees. The stretch of open sky, like a long blue lake, slowly moved northward between its gray cloud banks and, before the sun reached the horizon it was obscured again, so the dusk was grey and dim. The clouds must have remained thinner southward above the valley as I could see the sky there like a bright silver streak slowly fading as night arrived. Then, when full dark had come, part of the western sky cleared again and I saw Venus gleaming there, a lone bright star skirting the treetops. I knew that Jupiter was then rising in the east but was concealed from view by the clouds. Venus was sufficient, though, an isolated splendor adorning the chilly night. I heard distant purrs of thunder from the mountains. It sounded like contentment.
