Hello mid-December sunrise. The cherished rescue mutt’s backyard tracks have worked a noticeable groove around the backyard pool cover, I’ve noticed as snow has fallen and wind has gusted day after day. And it’s not yet officially winter …

Between snow events. Our backyard appreciates that time on a mid-December morn where nature can breathe in the emerging sunlight. I enjoyed catching it from our back door.

Good morning to us. It can look pretty stark beyond our driveway when I go out to the car to take my dear wife Karen to work her morning shift in late December. The light, it will arrive.
