Posted on February 7, 2014 by mossjon314159

Sunday Sunrise

Posted on November 10, 2013 by mossjon314159

I almost missed the sunrise this morning because I overdid it yesterday trying to contain my oak tree’s leaf largesse.  I ran out of leaf bags (two left over from last year plus ten more purchased this week from Home … Continue reading →

Posted on February 4, 2013 by mossjon314159

No repeats.  No snoozing to ‘You Got Me Babe’ from the alarm clock.  Just one single solitary sunrise to greet the groundhog last Saturday morning: I almost gave up on this sunrise. The clouds stayed a dismal grey until the … Continue reading →

Posted on January 1, 2013 by mossjon314159

When I let Apollo out this morning at 5:30 a.m., I saw the moon.  I didn’t think much of that until I let him back in and it dawned on me (pun intended) that I could probably see the sunrise … Continue reading →
