Those of you who are fortunate enough to live in the country like I do can certainly appreciate this post, short and sweet as it will be. And for those of you who live in the city, as I once did, I hope you can find a way to experience this at least once.

| My early morning fire |
Today, I woke up before dawn, as I normally do, and took care of early morning chores--feed the cats, start a fire, and make the first pot of coffee. It's a routine we have here that doesn't often vary. I find routines very comforting. Then, usually, I will pull my rocking chair up close to the fire, drink a cup of coffee, and wait for the rest of the household to be up and about the business of the day. This morning, though, I decided to step out on the back porch instead.
How beautiful! A very cold and still 24 degrees greeted me, and the quarter moon sky was bright and clear with a million stars shining. I could hear the creek water running softly over a bed of rocks, and in the distance the sound of an old barn owl hoo-hooing. Nature is so awesome in it's simplicity, and I am so fortunate.
