Triple sunrise and a dance 1/29/12

• Sometimes I love clouds.  This morning, for instance, they were an elliptical galaxy stretched across the horizon and ablaze from the sun below, just starting to climb.  The galaxy became a shadowy veil in front of Sunbella during her first rise.  She reached past the clouds entirely for a second sunrise, just her and blue sky.  Then she passed through jacquard-patterned cornflower blue clouds, showing peeks of orange light through the cloud breaks like a woman offering her decolletage through a lacy bra.  Sunbella finally shrugged off all the clouds for her third sunrise appearance and now has the blue sky stage all to herself.  Shine on, Sun Beauty.
• I've been watching a man and Little Dog from the balcony for several days.  They put on quite a pas de deux.  Little dog must be a terrier.  She will dig like crazy, then run circles around the man, over and over, on her retractable leash.  He is used to her moves, lifting the leash handle over his head like he is twirling her on the dance floor, sometimes spinning his body while she circles.  Never a missed step between those two that I've seen.  Then this morning, another man walks up to pet Little Dog.  She runs between his legs and starts her circling, wrapping the cord around his legs and requiring Little Dog's man to do some major untangling.  Guess they are not used to a pas de trois.
• Not sure what's up with all the French words coming out today, but they sure are fun to say.
• Sending a Happy 21-month Anniversary to my SGD!  LYMTTY!!
