Early to Rise

Although summer doesn't end officially until the autumnal equinox, I always feel that the last day of August is IT.

Our weather here in the Pacific Northwest is usually gorgeous all September, but that yummy feeling of lazy summer is gone as the September Scurry takes hold of us all.

I've been trying to stretch out my summer by getting up extra early and scooting on outside. Somehow, it makes the day feel longer.

(Yep, I'm one of THOSE PEOPLE who can trick themselves into being
on time by setting my clock ten minutes fast.)

Today, I was lucky to catch the morning sun illuminating this pink geranium.
