Under the sun

The sky over Sawtown.

It’s no wonder there are so many things written about the sun. It’s a big part of everyone’s day and the reason it is day in the first place. The sun provides light and heat. Light that makes for awesome photos and heat that will make for some not-so-comfortable weather this week. A variety of flowers opened their petals to the sun last week and some critters enjoyed their places in the sun as well.
