I babysit for a family here in SLO. Since the weather has been so nice lately, we stayed outside most of the day. It's amazing how interested kids are about their surroundings. The little girl spent a lot of the time searching the bushes for the lizard that was sunning itself before scurrying away. Meanwhile, the little boy and I laid on the grass looking up at the clouds. After answering numerous questions about what clouds are made of and why we can't jump from cloud to cloud the little boy began telling me what shapes he saw up in the sky. A fire-breathing dragon, teddy bear and killer whale where just a few of the things this little kid's imagination picked out of the mess of white up in the sky.
It's not often you get a chance to take a break from the day-t0-day stresses, but today was one of them. As I laid there looking up the clouds looked especially white today as if someone had bleached them out. The clean white of the clouds intensified the blue sky that served as their background.
