Morning

I love mornings. I don't know if it is the sheer newness of the day, the chance to make the day better than the last, or just promises...but I just love morning. Today is no different. The air is warm, which is a new thing. Olive and I lingered in bed, looking out the window at the trees and birds. I have a couple of geese that fly by every morning talking as they fly. Today there was only one that flew to the pond behind my home, quacking loudly as he went, and then back. I don't know if he was looking for help or if he had found food. He was definitely looking for support!

The little creek behind me (Clark Creek) (appropriate since Kay was my very best friend forever) is beginning to get more and more water in it every day. I love the sound of it dancing over the rocks. It is incredibly soothing to hear. I love the gentleness of it passing by.

My world wakes up early everyday. There is some critter moving at all times. Olive loves to stick her nose in the air and sniff. She is always unsure what is out there - but she definitely knows there is something there. This morning is no different. When the door is open for her to step out the first time in the mornings, her nose is up and moving. She checks her world very closely, sniffing as she goes. Today there was nothing to bark about. Quiet is the name of the game!

Have a great day!
