Fandango’s FOWC is radiant, the Word of the Day Challenge is appease, and Paula’s 3 Things Challenge words are orange, mosquito, license
The sun was a radiant orange-pink ball rising in the sky when Bea opened the back door. The dew was still on the grass and the birds were almost in a chatter there were so many congregated around the feeders. Bea noticed one of the feeders was empty, so she filled it, which appeased the chorus for a moment. The mosquitos were too laden with moisture to launch an assault, so Bea stood on the back porch, admiring the paradise she was blessed enough to live in. It was a miracle that the overlords hadn’t yet found a way to tax and license nature’s magnificence.
A lyric from a Jimi Hendrix song filled Bea’s heart and she begin so hum to the tune.

Oooh, don’t say that too loud, those overlords are always looking for new things to tax. ;-) My grandmother used to say that those purple/pink sunsets (which were rare in our part of Calif.) were caused when Lady Moon kissed Brother Sun and his blush lit up the sky. ;-) Lovely piece.

The colors of sunrise and dusk are beautiful, when the sky cooperates.
Not too many clear skies this winter. But enough ;)
