day is done, gone the sun

This is a view of our early spring sky as the storm from earlier in the day dissipated and the earth moved away from the sun at the end of the day. We are so lucky, in spite of living in an apartment building, to have this view from our window each day.
That rolling bank of puffy clouds made me think of the mountains in my home state. Wouldn't you know, those wispy lavender clouds made me wish for cotton candy!
See more ethereal skies from around our dear planet at Skywatch Friday.

Thanks for the comments. I like the pink in your sky, glad the rain is over and such a gift came calling.
Turkeys have arrived here too, out from hiding during the winter. Have a glorious afternoon.

I'm afraid our storms in Iowa headed your way...sorry, but the sun was back briefly today off and on, but too cold for a ride on the porch swing, I actually turned on the furnace again...RATS!
