They make for such gorgeous sunrises and sunsets. We've had them frequently these past few weeks at sunrise in Southeastern Connecticut. Mr. Femmedem and I just look out the window, drinking coffee, taking it in, when we wake up to them.

There was a bit of family lore in my house, but I think it's lost as I paid no attention to it.
