For the first few minutes I was out today the light was like this.

The Morning Drive

Way back when I worked at my first job out of college and still lived with my grandparents, my grandmother wasn't yet retired and she used to drive me to work on her way to hers. Now, she really, really doesn't like the dark and hated especially in the winter when it was dark when we woke up and dark when work was finished. So I made a habit in the morning of pointing out all the sky phenomena that signalled the coming dawn.

Unfortunately, being in a hurry, we didn't often get a chance to stop for photos. But a couple times we did. :)

All photos mine. Two of the misty photos edited for colour, contrast, and cleanup.

3/18/2024 - Today was the grand opening of Buc-ee's in Burthoud, Colorado. I went with my good friend from work and tried their brisket sandwich. It was really good. Before this, I stopped by the house of a friend from church. Yesterday was Sunday so in the course of conversation it came up that I was looking for a suitcase. They offered one to me they no longer have a use for. When I went to their house this morning to pick it up they also gave me some pulled pork to have for dinner tonight. Even in the midst of a seemingly tumultuous time, I can feel the Lords blessings so strongly. I was even so lucky as to get this photo in the Buc-ee's parking lot. Tomorrow I depart again for the Philippines.

Glorious first morning light in my neighborhood. The ginkgoes which you see here on the right are starting to turn!

Now I danced in the sunlight on my hardwood floors.
