A woman at work asked me to go over to the local Firestone shop this morning so she could drop her car off to be inspected. I agreed and as I was sitting in the car waiting for her to come out of the shop, I had the window down and was watching the sun light up the shopping mall.
It’s now cloudy and rainy but shortly before 8 this morning the sun was breaking through the clouds and it was balmy. Actually, it was quite nice sitting there. The light reminded me of Florida in the fall. I don’t know if it’s always true down there but nearly every time I’ve been in Florida in the fall, I’ve noticed that the sky starts off cloudy and then the sunlight breaks through. So, there are grey skies, blue peaking through and then the sunlight.
In my case I was staring at JC Penney’s and the nearly denuded trees. I’m sure if I were in Florida, I’d still be looking at a mall, but all the trees would have leaves and the shrubs wouldn’t be cast in brilliant late fall reds.
