After a day wrought with never-ending rain, we took a gamble and headed for the lakeshore. Something that was once so prominent in my life, Lake Michigan sunsets, has become a rare treat now that I live on the sunrise side of the lake. So during this weekend excursion home, I was intent on getting in at least one sunset in 2012.
Although the weather seemed likely to be a deterrent, it actually created a unique atmosphere for the scene. While the light and color radiating from a sunset usually seems to take up the entire sky, the storm clouds left us peering toward the shores of Wisconsin for a peek. To the south, the orange tones were streaked and blurred with rain. For a couple of short minutes, standing at a vantage point high above the beach, we watched the sun slip through the cloud cover and over the horizon.
I'd be lying if I said this wasn't the typical tone of my Friday nights. After sunset, we made our way back to the house for our rendition of girls' night: a glass of wine, comfy clothes and catching up on life. No shame in being tame.
