The Sky Is Never The Limit

You wake up, but you don't open your eyes. You can tell the sun is still behind the horizon. Today is the last day to spend with your grandparents before you have to leave, again. At least you got to spend some time with them. You sit up and look outside. The blue-pink sky has a few scattered clouds and there is a breeze blowing. The air is cool but thick with the smell of dust. You slowly and quietly walk to your grandparents house, listening to the early birds singing. As you walk by a blue spruce in the front yard a black starling dive bombs you. It has done this before, so you don't pay any attention to it. It is just a bird protecting its nest. You step inside the house and a blanket of warmth wraps around your entire body. The house is quiet except for the white noise from a fan. You go into your grandmother's room because she is awake. You talk with her for a couple minutes until your mom comes and lets you know it is time to go to town.

Your family goes to breakfast at Merritt's a local diner. You order your meals to go because you're in a hurry. You grab the food and leave. The aroma of sausage and cheese slowly flows out of the togo boxes. You devour the food leaving no trace it was ever around. Now all you have to do is go to a couple stores and appointments.


Later on, around noon, the temperature seems to have sky rocketed. You hear a buzzing like a distant Ducati or a bumble bee. You look skyward and see two(2) small planes in the distance. They are twins with every feature except the paint. As they fly by they stay in the positions next to each other as if they are glued on an invisible string pulling them in a straight line. Never once do they waiver from their positions. You fumble with your camera to get a shot of them as they fly by. The only shot you get is as they leave.

As the sun goes down it starts to cool and the breeze starts to die. But a beautiful sunset is left behind. The blue sky and pink from the setting sun mix to make brilliant colors never before seen on any spectrum. The colors are so vivid as if straight from the heavens. It is very calming and relaxing and makes you realize how tired you are. Maybe you'll have some dreams, maybe you will sleep deeper than that.
