Late Summer Swelter


 
A few weeks ago, Lexi and I headed out to the greenway.  The morning was cool with the hint of Autumn in the air.  By the time we got back to the car, it was clear it was still summer.  Very toasty.

 
I love lichen.  So cool.
 

 
It was so nice to be out there soaking in the last bits of summer.

The Sky Winked at Me

 
 
As if we were in on a secret together.
 
As if to say, "Why do you complain when your alarm goes off?"   "Look at all you would miss if you hit that snooze button like you so want to do."
 
So true.  I'd miss out on seeing the night sky on my morning walk with Lexi.  The stars, the moon.
I'd miss out on hearing the birds waking up and the mysterious critters skittering unseen into the brush.  I'd miss out on the quiet of the early morning, the sound of the train, the welcome chill in the air.
The chance to give thanks for my family, friends, sweet pup, health, job. . .and this place I get to live in.  The sort of place I've always dreamed of.  This place of peace and quiet and trees and logs that make up the walls that keep me snug.
 
It has been a few weeks since the sky winked at me and now when my alarm goes off, I feel a little less annoyed and a lot more blessed.
