Oh Wonderful!!

It was 5:00 this morning when I stepped outside to call Hunter, when a strange sound echoed through the dawn. Looking towards the bare aspen and birch trees, I stopped and listened quietly. Even Shelby stopped and seemed to listen. Echoing through the still dark sky of morning were the song birds. I couldn't even begin to name them all, although I know that there were robins in the group. The sound was beautiful! Just a diverse collection of music calling through the air, each song different, yet all harmonious together. It was such a pleasure to hear. It was a great way to begin my day.

January Sunrise

January Sunrise

“The early bird gets the worm,”
they say, but I,
I got the sunrise!
How lucky am I?
Breathtaking!
Glowing red, crimson,
purple, orange, and yellow.
The sun is waking
with beautiful glory.
Heavy, gray clouds
glow with morning.
My headlights
illuminate the snow
and reflect off
the stop sign.
The lone tree
stands like a
sentinel, keeping watch
over the roadways.
Too early to leave
for work? Never!
What a beautiful way
to start my workday.
Makes every waking
moment worth while.
Thank you,
January sunrise!
