Things can only get ... better?
by loiswakeman @ 07/08/2007 - 07:34:57

Up and out at 6:30, and making time just to stand and appreciate the beauty of this morning. Despite all the troubles in the land, just here, just now, is perfect.

Hardly a breath of air, and the dawn clouds are a tender, puffy blue-grey coverlet over the sky. The lazy cooing of woodpigeons, crows cawing, the clucking of the pheasant, the twittering of the small birds in the garden; a counterpoint to the stockman calling in the cows down the valley, and the gentle lowing of beef cows calling to their calves.

I am so lucky.

And Happy Birthday, Usksider. This post's for you.

I love mornings, especially the early morning quiet; thank you Lois. :)

We can always hope that they do! That's the best time of the day. You are indeed lucky!

Well, things didn't get worse - but it would have been hard to better my quiet ten minutes.

I'm glad to hear it! A quiet ten minutes like that is a great way to start the day off.
