Early Saturday Morning

This morning is warm and muggy. The high humidity makes 70 degrees feel much warmer but the small fan blowing on me keeps the Mosquitos away and cools my skin. The beautiful waning moon is setting  on the opposite side of our house from our porch but, her silvery blue light shines  on everything in our lawn, casting soft long shadows off to the east where the sun is waiting to rise. The rooster crows and the day is about to begin.  Earlier there was nothing but quiet but silence has given way to the chirping of the morning birds. An occasional truck can be heard on the highway a half mile down our drive. A low, lonsome train whistle echos through the morning silence miles off in the distance. Morning is here and another day, a gift to us, is about to begin. 

Until next time...John
