Sacramento Sunrise in November

We're having a bit of a rain system come through the Sacramento Valley, which to some folks, is a normal thing. Atmospheric flood, bomb cyclone... call it what you will. It's just lots of rain, which surprises us.

For Californians, this is not normal. Instead, it's a relief. We'll take all the rain we can get and then some more.

The current sunrises, because of the clouds, are better than usual. I took this beautiful shot this morning from my house. The clouds ablaze with glory.

Then my husband sent me a view from where he's working as a fire captain and it sort of blew my little sunrise out of the water.

His view of our sky was a riot of fire. Though near the city limits, his fire station is on the rural and pastoral side of town. I'm jealous. He has views of cows, low hills, grasses, and obviously, sunrises and clouds that came straight from God's finger.

Are you ready for Thanksgiving? I'm not really sure that I am. With my husband and youngest son's birthdays in November, it always feels like I'm catching up to enjoy the holiday. 

But once I confer with my mom and her planned Thanksgiving meal (she's hosting this year), I'm sure I'll be in the holiday spirit. 

There's no reason not to be thankful, is there. Busyness, birthdays, and all. And with sunrises like these, I am beyond thankful.

Have a wonderful weekend.
