The most beautiful day in the world (or at least Portland)

Get a good look at this! There were no (I repeat... none!) clouds in the sky today. After church, at around 1:30 or so, Bennett and I sped over to the park and sat in the sun reading and taking pictures (I did the reading, Bennett the photographing). Oh, lovely. It was so lovely that when Bennett came over and said he was going home because it was 5:00 and time to make some dinner, I said I would walk home. It was an empty threat (we live a good 10 miles from the park) so I had to go away from my sunny, heavenly, holy, warm, luxurious sanctuary. I've been told all summer and fall days are like today. Can such mythical tails be true? The sun has almost become a foreign, glowing object to me. What is this mysterious orb casting warmth to our rain sogged planet? If the stories are true, it might make sloshing through 5 months of rain and mud worth it.

Mythical tails are not generally characterized as true. The dragons tail is quite famous for its wayward ways. Nymphs tails are also very unreliable and deceptive.
