Great Balls of Fire! Literally and in an exclamatory sense. It's only mornings like this one when you can really look at that great ball of fire in the sky.
A few minutes later the red color was gone, but the scene was magical. This tree is nothing but an annoyance to mow around, except that I consider it my own private bonsai tree.
And the moon tonight was neither a ball, nor is it fiery, since it has no fire of its own. But I loved the blue sky.
In an exclamatory sense... Great balls of fire! There was no water last night when I went to bed. What the heck? We just had a new pump put on the well this past winter (at great expense). And, um... it's certainly not frozen this week. So I was not looking forward to getting in the well pit. I did check the breaker, which was fine. Laid awake agonizing over it all. So, this morning I dialed the pump man, and just thought I'd turn on the faucet while the call was going through. Water! Hung up, since I don't like talking to the pump man who is always annoyed with me.
I have no explanation for this. The well is not dry. It's 165 feet deep with 85 feet of water in it. It never ran dry when I was doing two loads of laundry a day and cooking for herds of people; I'm sure it's not in trouble with two of us who may do two loads of laundry a week and avoid cooking like the plague.
Someone suggested that new pumps have a thermal shut-off if they get too hot. This is my only guess.

I like the looks of that second picture. The fog has a way of making things look a bit magical.
Glad you had water again and didn't have to talk to the pump man. What a pain if the pump is going to shut down when it gets too hot.
Ann- I love the fog when it's thick like that
