Sunset North and South

Somewhere on a lake in the north I imagine they sat on the hill and watched the sun go down over the water and behind the pines. As these days begin to grow shorter, they would have had to sit down to watch the show a bit earlier than a few days ago.

Or maybe they didn't watch the sunset after all. They have been busy up there in the north, and it might be that they had better things to do.

But whatever they did up there on that hill by that lake in the woods, we sat by the water at the end of our day and watched the margins of the clouds in the west turn from white to gentle pink to a glowing, fire-lit pink to a bluish-lavender and finally to dusty gray. We sat and watched the show over the water and behind the hills, and a gentle breeze blew out of the west and cooled our smiling faces.

So if they didn't watch the sunset up there, they should have, because it was a mighty good one down here.
