The morning started out bright, clear, calm and cool. The beautiful dawn sky was on display with the analogous colors radiating out from the suns path: red, orange, yellow, light blue and blue sky. The lower atmosphere was hazy and plume of white smoke was in the Southern sky, probably from the Fresno wild fire. The rabbits were grazing on the soccer and baseball field while Labrona and her rabbit family were grazing in and out of the fence by the basketball court. William Uribe turned on the sprinkler on the soccer field and the rabbits moved to graze on the baseball field. The squirrels appeared after breakfast and they were running around the camp begging for food from the inmates. As the morning progressed, the wind became stronger.
