a gift of nature
Scenes like this at Pineridge Natural Area are one of the perks for waking early. As I watched this miracle unfold I wondered what if would be like to lie in bed, snuggled under warm blankets, looking out at this scene each morning. Then I realized this awe and wonder moment I’m experiencing is because I’m standing there as a part-of nature rather than some observer laying in bed. The owl greeted me again, asking me “who-hoo” I am. Or, maybe they were asking me if I’m in touch with “who-hoo” creates these scenes each morning. I believe I know! I’ll be here again!

A beautiful place to be early in the morning. I need to start setting the alarm and heading out to see some sunrises.

Something inside you chose the word need rather than want. I’d say, listen to that voice. 😉

Beautiful start to the week. I was up long before the sun this morning and gazed at the stars from the hotel blacony. According to my Sky Map app, the brightest star was Betelgeuse. Enjoy your week!

Bete-what? Not even going to try and say that. Could hurt!
Yes, a good start. We have had gusty winds today, up to 31 mph. Love the sound it makes as it blows through the trees. When I get there really early I can gaze at those stars. Seems to be more of them out there in the natural area than in town. 😁
