Mellow Morning

Its been over three months since I walked the early morning route in our neighbourhood, and nothing much changed over the winter months.

The smell of wood smoke in the air, smelled a bit like hickory, or maybe that was my desire to start the smoker up in the back yard.

The stars fading way, Antares the heart of Scorpius in the south was fading, Jupiter hung like a jeweled bobble in the west, and the Summer Triangle with Cygnus fading fast over the zenith.

At -10C it as was wonderful morning, crisp, and clear.

The critters still hibernating, and not evident.

As I was walking back home, the eastern sky looked as if someone had poured a bottle of Rose as the sky flowed with a light crimson red. The sun was rising to kiss the world good morning.

All is well in the neighbourhood.............

Later on the sun was rising, and sitting in the bird feeder in the north as small bird, eating its breakfast and waiting to greet the morning.

The snow and ice may be on the ground, but spring is in the air and pushing winter out the door.

Happy Spring to all, as it will arrive on Sunday!
