The clouds to the southeast were catching some pink hues as the sun was setting in the west on a warm September evening.

On a warm sunny Sunday, heading to the lake (or a small pond in my case) might be a way to spend the afternoon for some swimming, boating, fishing or just relaxing watching the clouds go by. But since the fish in my small pond are only bait size, I guess I would have go to somewhere to fish or to kayak.

Some days you don’t get much of a sunrise or sunset when a storm blows in and covers the sun on a summer day.

Today is Pentecost, from the ancient Christian expression pentekoste hemera, which means “fiftieth day” which was borrowed from the Jewish holiday Shavuot. For Christians, Pentecost is a holiday on which commemorate the coming of the Holy Spirit on the early followers of Jesus and the start of the church. The Acts of the Apostles in the New Testament state, “And when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. All of a sudden, a sound came from heaven, like a strong wind, filling the house where the people had gathered. Something like tongues of fire rested on their heads.”
These scary clouds look like fire descending from the sky and coming down to earth so maybe what it looked like on first Christian Pentecost.

The day has clouded over but earlier this morning the moon was out and there was a pink sky, (but I didn’t stop to take a picture of the sunrise so I wouldn’t late for church). Each sunrise and sunset is different with changes happening each minute as the sun sets or rises.

According to the Farmers’ Almanac, if it thunders on All Fool’s Day, it brings good crops of corn and hay. We could use a good crop season but so far all day the thunderstorms have been staying just to the north, although there is a line of storms heading this direction now. The cropland remains idle after the long winter so hopefully the April Fool’s Day storm will bring a great crop year.

Ahead of the snow, the wispy clouds rolled in yesterday to cover the afternoon sun.

With the rain coming down this morning, it is almost hard to remember the pretty sunset last evening, which is coming earlier and earlier each night as the long summer days had ended since fall is quickly approaching.

Recently there have been a lot of popcorn type rain showers springing up, with thunderheads dotting the sky and providing a firework like display inside the cloud as the lightning appears to slam around the inside of it. My finger was too slow reacting to catch the lightning flashes but it seems odd to be watching it from a distance knowing it is raining a lot under the cloud while I remained dry.

The sunset last night kept reflecting off the clouds, changing their color and at times, reflecting rays up into the sky. But as pretty as the sunset was, just forty-five degrees to the north from the sunset was a thunderhead and there was lightning flashing all around inside the storm cloud. My finger was too slow, so I didn’t get a picture of the lightning inside the thunderhead before the lower dark clouds covered my view of it.
