Oh Beautiful for Spacious Skies

One thing I love about coming back home is the blue American sky. Yichang's weather patterns and pollution made for haze and dense clouds most days. Rain and gray skies could last for days there without the sun peeking out. Most days ended with what I call "China sunsets" where the sun looks small, a dull glowing ball blending into the gray of the sky. Last night, driving home from Indianapolis, there was a brilliant sunset. Huge, bright red, flaming sun surrounding by pinks and purples sinking into the green corn fields. Today the sky is brilliant blue with white puffy clouds slowly making their way across it. Makes me happy to be back in Indiana.
