Good Saturday morning. I woke up at 6:00 this morning and decided to strain a point and go ahead and get out of bed. I've got to get my schedule shifted to earlier rising because week after next I'll have to get up outrageously early to go sit in the polling place for the primaries. Also, Daylight Savings is coming up soon and that will be an adjustment that I never seem to successfully make.
I was glad I did get up before daylight this morning. Just as the sun was coming up in the east I happened to open my curtains on the west and was delighted to see an almost full moon about ten minutes away from reaching the horizon. It was pale in color, seemed almost like you should be able to see right through it, but with the rising sun reflecting on it, the moon was the most beautiful pastel pink color. I wanted to take a picture of it but a tree limb was in the way. By the time I got my phone and went outside to a place that was more open, it was too late.
As I started back to the house I heard a clattering noise out back. I rushed around to the old junky shop to check it out but found nothing unusual. As I went back inside the house I looked down toward the tank and saw two deer running in a panic. I guess they'd been in my yard and were startled when they heard me moving around outside. These are the kind of distractions that take up my time and it's one reason why I don't get much done. But why not spend time that way? It's what I enjoy. At least I've already had breakfast and a shower this morning so off I go to putter--or as we say in Texas, piddle. (I didn't know that word had another meaning until I married a Yankee).
Wishing all of you fair weather and a good day and weekend. Weather looks good here.
