In the still of the night


It's 3:34am and I'm wide awake. I awoke to the shivering of our Schnauzer Tyson and had to put him under the covers with us. He has a new hair cut and is adjusting to the cooler temperature. After a few minutes of tossing and turning I thought I'd get up and enjoy the stillness of the night/early morning alone.

After wandering around the house for a while trying to be oh-so quiet, I decided to sit outside for a bit. I could hear the neighbor's sprinklers, the hum of a few cars in the distance and a cow mooing. I inspected the flowers Evan and I had planted last spring and pulled a red leaf off our growing maple tree. I love the sound of silence and the fresh clean smell of a new day. Fall is in the air and I love it! I love how the leaves grow old and change into glorious and radiant colors! I'm ready for you fall!!!! Bring it!!!
