Spring Mornings

I like spring mornings. Each day I get up before the sun and take the dog for a walk. One day last week I was treated by seeing (thanks to the sun being almost ready to come up and the moon being quite bright near the other horizon) two interesting celestial objects. The first was some sort of mapping or weather satellite (or similar type). It was easy to pick out as it moved almost perfectly from south to north and covered the sky in just a couple of minutes. The second, was the space station, cutting a path from northeast to southwest. Both of these within minutes of one another.

Two days this week there was a light fog. The mist covered the neighborhood eerily and made me think of a Dicken's story. The mist hung over the neighborhood pond and blanketed some of the larger lots not yet built upon. There were some deer in the wooded area of one lot and they looked like small statues as they watched me. I think they were closer than normal because of the fog.

It is a relaxing way to start a day.
