Today is Sunday and that means it’s time for Song Lyric Sunday as hosted by Jim Adams, who gives us the prompt of Clear/Dark/Light.
As much as the times are in a state of constant upheaval right now, it is only logical that we’d have some unusual weather as well. The last few days have been extremely warm here in my part of California and the temperatures have been close to if not hitting 100 degrees. Friday night at 8:20 PM it was 79 degrees! That’s usually a midday high.
The sunset as seen from my front porch. Aren’t the colors gorgeous?
This morning we woke up to thunder and lightening. It went on for about 2 hours.
Followed by this sunrise out our back porch:
Almost looks like the sunset doesn’t it? So glad I got up to see this spectacle of nature.
So my song for #SLS today is “Dance Into The Light” by Phil Collins.
Dance Into the Light
In the faces smiling in the windows
You can come on out, come on open the doors
Brush away the tears of freedom
We have each other
We have one voice
Because the train is coming to carry you home
Come on and dance into the light
Everybody dance into the light
There’ll be no more chains to hold you
The future is yours – you hold the key
And there are no walls with freedom
We are one world
We have one voice
Because the train is coming to carry you home
Come on and dance into the light
Everybody dance into the light
Oh, the world’s in your hands, now use it
What’s past is past, don’t turn around
Brush away the cobwebs of freedom
You have each other
You have one voice
Because the train is coming to carry you home
Come on and dance into the light
Everybody dance into the light
Hope you all have a great rest of your weekend. Stay safe out there!

It’s been too hot here, too. It takes all the spunk out of me. Your photos of your sunset are amazing. The colors are like none that we see here.

Hi Ally! I love that I can share something new with you. We have had some spectacular colors the past few days. I got some more this morning. Part of it I’m sure is because of the fires we have due to the lightning.

Agreed. West coast sunsets are notably different and often more dramatic than we see in the midwest. You captured them beautifully!

Thanks Joey. There really have been some magnificent skies lately, sadly they are often due to the smoke from the fires.

Hi, Janet – Your photos here are absolutely stunning. They fit in perfectly with your song choice.
Now I feel a bit guilty about complaining about our current temperatures. This past week we have reached highs of 29C/84F which has had me melting! I’m a weakling, I know!

My husband is having a particularly hard time with the heat. It usually doesn’t bother me but even I took a break and just laid on the bed under the fan and read a book for a while.

Phil is great. We got to see him when he came by a couple years ago. Wonderful show even though he wasn’t able to move around the stage like he used to. Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks John. I almost went with Thunder and Lightning by Thin LIzzy but it was too noisy for me.

Great choice Janet, especially since I am writing about another Phil Collins song Against All Odds for the other music challenge that I host every other Friday.
