What a difference an extra hour of morning light makes! I guess I just didn’t realize that the dark beginnings of my days were dragging me down. Now the world is awakening when I am. Best of all, I can let Izzie out earlier in my day (although to her I’m sure nothing has changed.) No more caterwalling at the back door while I drink my coffee!
Yesterday morning as we were driving out of the neighborhood to Mass, Dave abruptly stopped the car. I figured he’d forgotten something and we were about to turn and head back to the house. Then he said, “Well, are you going to cross or what?” I looked out the windshield and there, on my side of the car stood a beautiful doe. After we all shared a moment of “deer in the headlights”, she turned gracefully and disappeared in the brush. That’s the kind of traffic I like to see on my way to church!
