The grey curtain of rain has passed away to reveal azure sky that holds the eye in thrall. It was an evening of mixed pleasures stolen from the day. Warm sunshine frames the face while legions of minute predators scar the skin. I did what I had to do and then beat a hasty retreat to a dinner of venison shoulder slow cooked all day in the Crock Pot. So in the end came a blue sky, a red glass and the music of avians to end the day...Bliss!
