I enjoy the early morning hours. Getting up while it’s dark, watching the sun slowly spread light, the crisp morning air, listening to the night animals quiet down and the day animals wake up. It’s invigorating.

I don’t walk in the dark though. We have moose and coyote and cougar out and about. And two legged animals too. Unless Al comes with. He knows his way around a firearm.

And now we have moved from the country to the valley. It will be interesting to see how mornings are here. The need to walk the dog gets me out daily. We live on the river, so this time of year the geese fly upriver honking away.

I do find myself more vulnerable as I get older. I never used to question my ability to take care of myself. I know differently now. Didn’t I say wisdom comes with age?
