Morning around here

/ J. F. Riordan

There was a spectacular sky this morning. A front coming through created a sharp diagonal line of clouds moving against the hot pink and orange of sunrise. Two great horned owls conversed at some length. I bestirred myself from my writing and stepped out onto the back stairs to look out over the woods, listen, and breathe. It’s cool this morning, cool enough for snow. But there’s only rain in the forecast.

Eli did not bark at the grandson when he came downstairs. We never know with Eli. He has a strange case of situational amnesia. But now grandson’s off to school, and Eli’s cuddling with his gorilla. Auggie has finished staring at the treat jar because I stopped paying attention after four, and has now settled on the couch.

The day stretches ahead with many tasks.

All is well.

  4. What a beautiful start to your morning. “Situational amnesia.” I like that. Maybe it’s just Eli’s way of saying ‘good morning’?🤷🏼‍♀️ Groillas and treats….a perfect way to start the day.
