Dawn

The sun is just rising over the mountains bordering the Tonto National Forest; which runs along our property line. The amazing wealth of wildlife is stirring, the numerous species of birds are all a twitter and seem to be singing in praise of the morning. I sit at my desk in the living room and warm my toes before the dancing flames of the fireplace. It is quiet. Mark is still asleep. The cats have been fed their breakfast. It is the perfect time of day!
