A Hint of Autumn

The mornings are cooler, quieter. It is still dusk dark when I awake at about 6:50 AM most mornings. I splash my face and eyes with cold water, wash my hands, dress hurriedly, and head out the door. The Hummingbirds have all but disappeared. I miss them already. They are so tiny, but so full of life! They are probably on their way to Cancun, Mexico, or some other exotic locale for the winter months.

My dogs were always jealous when I was communicating with the birds and not to them. They always wanted to be the center of my universe. Now that the cool weather is almost upon us, the dogs and I shall feel freer to just exist and to become truly alive.

Going for walks in the early mornings, reading the Bible and the Newspapers, can all become rituals on these cool and wonderful mornings with gorgeous sunsets as added bonuses. Become a morning person. If you are a retiree, you can easily arrange for a nap later in the day.
