Dawn Comes Sneaking Over The Horizon

Yesterday by mid morning the sun had come out and more welcome sight you have never seen. Suddenly the temperatures soared and I watched the snow melting off my roof.

Drip, drip, drip, it was a pleasantly warm afternoon.

Problem: with all the new changes with our house we have discovered that our upstairs is just too warm. I don't sleep well when it is warm and so I have been opening the window in our bedroom at night.... even in the dead of winter.... we don't even have all of our windows in our bedroom properly insulated and still it is too warm!

This morning I got up and came downstairs in a fog bank.... not the wet kind.... but the kind that muddles your head.... mostly because I took some pain medication for my bad back in the middle of the night. Hubby took pity on me (he's so sweet) and got me a drink of juice which helped to clear some of the fuzz from my brain. And so it was that the sun came creeping over the horizon with a bleary eyed me able to watch. Nothing is so heavenly as when that sun hits the top of our trees in our yard.

Blue skies, nothing but blue skies......

For Christmas I had moved the computer under the steps and there is no window there so it is good to be back where I can look out the window and see the goings on of the world around me. I love to watch the sheep and the alpacas, and even the deer that drift across the yard in their ongoing search for food. (They always stop at our hay bails.) It is a peaceful scene laid out before me. The sheep are gathering at the fence posts for their morning scratch while the alpacas are still lying in for a chew on their cuds. There's a deer at the bails licking up seed on the ground. And behind me the sun has risen golden, changing the blue of the snow to a pinkish gold. Oh happy morn...

A nice cup of tea and a wee spin before I head off to town...

Hope your day is a golden sunrise too....
