Yellow Sky at Dawn


I knew the day was going to be different when I "accidentally" woke up on time after not setting an alarm. Then, it just stayed kind of dark out. Then... we had a yellowish sky like Mother Nature was working with a sepia filter on her smartphone. 

So weird!

According to sources smarter than me, it isn't a sign of the End of Days. Despite how everything else in 2020 has gone. The weather people say: A yellow sky often indicates there is a winter storm brewing during a relatively warm day. (Or in our case, a cold, cold rain.) The glow is an atmospheric effect, a result of how the sun is filtering through particular clouds. 

It also could be a good sign – as we learned later.

Hubby and I rode up to Greenwood with our friends Craig and Sara to watch their daughter and our Royals volleyball team in regional action. The Royals hadn't won a match all season but pulled off an upset win on Tuesday and then tonight... winners over the #2 seed!!

Now, they advance to the Regional Finals on Saturday against the #1 seed Marshfield Columbus. I guess if you're going to start winning, now's a good time! How fun!

Remember the old saying about "red skies at night, sailor's delight; red sky in morning, sailors take warning"? Today it could be...

Black sky at night, Robyn sleeps tight.
Yellow sky at dawn, the Royals move on!

Go Royals!
