A little before dawn yesterday ,we observed the crescent moon in close proximity to a morning star, Venus, as it turns out. The moon and Venus both rose around 5 AM yesterday, according to the almanac.
A tiny crescent moon might be seen in the west tomorrow just after sunset if the sky is clear... And, it should be fairly close to Mars at sunset on Friday...

Rosy-fingered dawn.
It was a beautiful sky, on my side of town, too, as I walked to the bus stop, earlier this morning.
Red sky in morning, sailors take warning.
Cheers
