Morning…

You know what I love?

Getting up early, naturally to the sound of my dog getting restless, even if I haven’t gotten a lot of sleep.

The sun is more brilliant in the morning than at any other time of day… maybe it’s the dew sparkling off the grass that makes it that way… but it’s my favorite time of day. The birds are active and chattering… the town is still quiet… the coffee pot is brewing and sending a “good morning!” smell into the air…

…and for that brief hour of calm before the day, everything is at peace.
