[unexpected] sky

 

The wind snatched at my scarf as I shoveled my parents' ... well... everything. From the front door, down the sidewalk, up the driveway (including clearing off two vehicles and shoveling again), up the walk, across the deck, to the back door, I struggled to keep half of my face covered while clearing the snow. 

Gray clouds covered the sky and a few flakes fell here and there as I began my work. As I finished clearing off the cars, the sky caught my eye - purple-gray clouds uplighted in pink. Gorgeous. I froze for a moment (literally and figuratively) to absorb the [unexpected] beauty.
