Today, we were asked to take a photo that represented our mood. After many weeks of smoke, we had a beautifully clear day, so my friend and I took advantage of the lovely weather by working on homework outside and swimming.
Before the smoke, I had never thought much of our endless days of blue skies and sun here in California. Today, I marveled at the bright sky above, so different than the gray — and even orange! — that we have been seeing recently. I feel very happy and thankful to be able to breathe fresh air again.
