  • Early morning?

    Having spent most of yesterday in the Twilight Zone,due to this and that,last night/this morning I decided that I needed something to blow away the negative vibes that had built up. Seizing upon a comment from a friend I decided that I would go and watch the sunrise.
    So whilst everyone else ( or so it seemed) was in bed I wrapped up warm and set off for the woods and fields which would give me the best view. Let me tell you it is damn cold out there!But exhilarating all the same. Still dark when I arrived,I located the place I would sit and waited. I wasn`t alone,oh no,my first visitor to my little bench was an Owl,it settled in the tree right at the side of me and cocked its head on one side and gave me that owly look as if to say " what the hell are you doing in the woods in the dark,you cuckoo or what?" very possibly mr Owl,yes I said it out loud,He didn`t fly off instead he hooted back at me,a nice low hoot and so we struck up a conversation for a few minutes,basically he was telling me it was time for night Owls to go to bed,which after about five minutes he decided to do and off he went. He was quite a large owl and it being dark I couldn`t make out too much of his colouring but by his facial features I took him to be a barn owl,though I will check my book later to be sure.I had a few little Birdie visitors and knew that the sun would be coming up soon as they only start singing and foraging as Dawn arrives.Then I got a visitor that decided to actually sit on the bench with me,I think that was due mainly to the biscuit I was eating, A squirrel,he sat there and looked at me,so I offered him some biscuit,at first he jumped down,but didn`t run off,after much coaxing he got back on the bench and took the biscuit I had left at his side.He ended up with about three biscuits all told but I couldn`t get him to eat out of my hand though he did come closer.And the Sunrise ( which the Squirrel sat and watched too) what has always fascinated me,it had been raining/sleeting all night yet as the sun started to rise the clouds just seem to dissapear as if someone has drawn back the curtain to let the light in.Though it was still cloudy in parts these were tinged with different shades of pink as the Sun made its grand entrance slowly bit by bit.With three different shades of blue with black grey and pink clouds against it,the sky slowly began to lighten.Then it clouded over again and began to rain so I decided to come home and get warm with a nice hot drink.
    A nice start to the day.And the postman has just been and the promised book has arrived.Looks like it could be a good day today:)
