When my husband asked me to go fishing with him this morning, I was delighted. We needed a break from the routine of fixing up the homestead. What did we catch? A beautiful sunrise! We woke up around 4:30 a.m. and just at the hint of some light in the sky, we drove to Dead Horse Ranch, a state park about 15 miles from home. I was surprised how long our quiet morning stayed so pleasantly cool! I love mornings and nature. I don’t know why I like this photo so much, but it’s special somehow. We explored. Look what we discovered ~ an old cabin. Several of my blog buddies are teaching me to open my eyes and see the beauty all around me right where I live! Fishing is a simple pleasure that fits nicely into our simple retired life. We look forward to more mornings like this to slow down and appreciate all the loveliness that surrounds us.
