Under a bluebird sky

It was Monday the 10th

and time to get up,
pour the coffee,
put on clothes

to buy some groceries,
head off to school,
or go to work,

a warm and sticky day,
a stormy evening,
a hurricane dodged.

It was almost autumn
as the skies cleared up
and temperatures dropped.

It was Tuesday the 11th

and time to get up,
pour the coffee,
put on clothes

to buy some groceries
head off to school,
or go to work

on a tranquil morning
under a bluebird sky,
a beautiful day had begun.

2001 [September 10th]:

It was a warm and sticky day (the dew point rose into the low 70s), the warmest day of the month (high/low of 86°/68°), but then a passing cold front produced thunderstorms in the late afternoon and evening. The evening thunderstorm dumped 0.57" of rain between 8:15-8:45 PM. Skies cleared afterward, setting the stage for a beautiful day tomorrow.
