There were some sparse clouds in the mid sky, the temperature was warm. The rabbits were out grazing by the south end of the soccer and baseball field by the fence. As the morning progressed, the analogous colors turned to pastel colors, evidence of smog in the air. Labrona came by the basketball court and was later joined by her juvenile rabbits.
