This Fall Day

Sent the kid out to play
 On this a perfect warm falls day
 Lots of breeze to blow the leaves away
 Reminding me of early Mays rays
 
Exotic wind towards this evening fall
 In the horizon comes a great gray wall
 Thunder answers the rain storms call
 Taking in the magnificence of it all
 
Up in the sky today I saw
 A beautiful wonder a double Sun Dog
 One of the glorious things made by God
 In the sky a giant colored dot
 
And at the end of a perfect day
 I take a rest and think of the things to appreciate
 Yawning lazily I see it's getting late
 Thinking to myself that my day sure was great
 
This is a great big world
 And I am here just a single girl
 Then I give my hair one last twirl
 Going to sleep dreaming about a gigantic pearl

Rachel a sun dog is made when it tries to escape it's orbital pass around the planet the sun dog is seen as the planet drags the moon back into it's power, Notrosdamis said that we watch our weather change from such actions. This happens offten for Venus and Mercury but it also happens from our sun, when it's the sun major natural disasters occur,
