The morning started out cloudy (nublador) and a little cool (frio), grey clouds were all over the sky (cielo) not a single patch of Blue sky (cielo is Azul). The rabbits (Conejos) were out grazing by the basketball court. The sun could not break through the clouds,, I could only see a faint image of the sun amid the clouds. I have not seen the moon (Luna) for a few weeks (varias semana). As the morning (manana) progressed, the sky got brighter.
