Sunsets painted on the canvas of The Quiet Corner

Red sky at night.... You've heard that old saying, right?

Tonight it was red sky extraordinaire! It was also pink sky, lavender sky, purple sky, red sky, orange sky. Not as fancy sounding as some of the crayola colors, but still a big WOW to the eye balls!

Driving from RI to CT I started to glimpse hints of the glorious sunset that was in the works.

Passing bodies of water with colorful reflections in them should have caused distracted motorists to crash. Luckily we are trained 24/7 at multi-tasking, so it was easy to enjoy the views and not crash into another car.

At the top of a big hill on Rt 101, an older gentleman stood at the end of his driveway, arms crossed, and just gazed at Mother Nature's work.

Going down that hill, my phone rang. It was my neighbors. They wanted to know if I was home. I know them well enough to know they enjoy the finer things and are always willing to share with me.
"Are you calling about the sunset?" I asked.
"YES!" they repied.
They wanted to make sure I didn't miss the remarkable, fleeting beauty of the moment. How nice is that?

I hope you enjoyed a sunset as perfect as I did today. But if you didn't, close your eyes, and think back to one you have witnessed. I'll bet it is every bit as nice. No picture can replace the paintings on the canvas of your memories.

I am a Putnamaniac thanks to neighbors who will share sunsets with me, even from miles away!
