It wasn’t exactly sunrise, but the sun’s debut for the day.
After a soft, steady rain all night and continuing into this morning, I got up to raise the heater setting and found the dog curled in a tight ball in the back corner of his bed. He didn’t stay outside very long either. We are all wusses here in So. Calif. when the temperature dips. It dipped to 35 or so degrees F last night, outdoors.
When the sun first peeked through the clouds in the east, rain continued to fall, and the sun outlined everything in sight with silver. I’m sure there was a rainbow. I couldn’t see it from my window. The world was brilliant, shiny, a jewel, in those few minutes. Of course it’s always a jewel. We just tend to let our view of it get dusty.

Here I know it’s cold because the car, rather than using its bed, wants to sleep on my lap all the time. Of course in the winter in PA we hope it gets above 35 F sometimes during the day. Nevertheless, 35 F is cold. You wouldn’t keep your house that temperature.

I’ll get back to you, Barbara, but isn’t the car a tad heavy, Eric?

It’s a beautiful description of absolutely gorgeous weather. I’ve been taking as many walks as possible while the cold sunny days are here. I must admit, though, down in the 30’s I don’t really have the right kind of clothes and the chill competes with the warming effect of walking.
