The lower atmosphere was hazy and the full moon was in mid sky moving towards the West. Th beautiful dawn sky was on display with analogous color radiating out from the suns path: red, orange, yellow, light green. light blue and blue sky. As the sun rise over the Sierras, the orange sphere brightened the sky and warmed the air. The rabbits were grazing on the soccer and baseball fields, while Labrona and family were grazing by the fence near the basketball court. The squirrels appeared after breakfast and were scurrying around begging for food from the inmates. Walked 2 miles before breakfast. Went to front lobby at 6:50 AM.
