<p>With a sky like this bursting with a lovely hue (<em>ok, I admit, I&#8217;m no fan of orange but hey this is the sky so I guess this is good with me</em>), who wouldn&#8217;t want to reach out and &#8220;touch the sky&#8221;?</p>

<p>I don&#8217;t really remember if the rains poured on this day (I edited the date of this post, LOL) but dark heavy clouds are a welcome sight to some of us who wanted to have a break from the sun&#8217;s piercing heat.</p>
