March 1

The sunrise I shared with Rachel Bryce this morning was loverly. A band of dark chocolate orange against the dark blue velvet of the late (early?) evening sky. The moon, a silver crescent and Venus was lighting the way for true dawn. (what, you didn't know Rachel Bryce and I did yoga in the mornings Tuesdays/Thursdays? man, we are like *this*... yea most mornings I hate her but I love the way I feel when I'm done)

March 2 

This morning I was up late and so only just caught the last bit of a marvelous fuchsia pre-dawn washed along the beautifully swept graphite clouds. The best part was as I walked out of my apartment, I startled a majestic blue heron to wing it's way across the pond where the faint light of dawn was still reflected on the water.

March 3

I was sad as I thought I had missed out on the sunrise (spring is on her way, she is getting up earlier and earlier) however when I got outside the sky where the sun was rising was a hot pink globe and up in the sky was a contrail that the wind had shaped in to a giant quill- like what you see Shakespeare holding and the light had dyed the feather pink as well. So I got a bit of fun this morning after all!

March 4

Dawn this morning was - what, you think cause I had the day off my loving, caring husband wouldn't have gotten me out of bed at 6am? Why, that's a whole HOUR that I got to sleep in! What a guy, hunh? Don't be to jealous... regarding the sunrise AT 6AM ON MY DAY OFF... it was gray and cloudy. and dark. and grumpy.

Happy Birthday, Beloved. It's been a gift beyond measure to have shared so many of the years you have spent dancing 'round the sun. I am very much looking forward to the dancing we've still to do- an' hope that we get to do dance together. :)

March 7

this morning I missed the sunrise... but I did not miss the chance to snuggle with Jim. :)

March 8

This morning going out to work in the slowly lightening grey upon .... well, grey morning, there was a drake sitting on the sidewalk in front of the apartment next door- bold as you please. I looked out on to the grass and saw a hen standing, looking at him as if to say- "ya- that's not brave- that's dumb. I'm not sure your genetic code gets to move forward.."

March 9

I caught the sun just as she was going up in to the layer of clouds that were low to the horizon, leaving behind a lake of gold butter light that clumps of mashed potatoes were swimming in... maybe I should have breakfast...

March 10

The rose light of morning turned the world into a chapel of harmony. For just a few moments the connection to all and the quiet hush of reverence was there. And it was good.

March 11

my sunrise contemplations this morning were shattered with the news of the earthquake in Japan and resulting Tsunami. My prayers are with those affected and hopes for safety for those who may still be in the path of danger.

March 14

so I am waiting on the sunrise, wondering what could be keeping her in bed for so long when by now certainly, she has unveiled her work of art for the day and..DUH. I'm not concerned though, she'll be rising at 6 soon enough...

March 15

the sunrise Herself with her rosy outlook on softly pebbled clouds, was indeed lovely to see. However.... I'm getting to leave again at that magic time, when there is just enough light to light the edge of the world, yet if you look up the sky is still full of stars. I love moments that speak of hope and that breathless moment before the sky truly lightens and the stars begin to fade- speaks to me of hope. A new day.

March 16

Venus was the "star", this morning, everyone else stayed tucked in nice and snug under the cloud cover. I am quite envious as this time change is now starting to kick my butt, I'dve liked to stayed tucked in my bed too...

March 17

Thoughts of snakes "driven out" of their home and out of hearts- the "my way or the highway/ daddy knows best"- kind of attitude gloaming my thoughts this morning on my way in. The plum skies washed with an orange sodium glow added to the sullen mood in the car. I still wear green today though. hummmmmm

March 18

YEAYYYYYYY FRIDAY IS HERE!! Though the morning may seem flat and featureless,(though I think those with a slightly higher view got on heck of sunrise) the birds are singing like Louis Armstrong and my excitement for the weekend to begin puts a lovely rosy cast on the start of the day..

March 21

The cold shower reality of Monday morning was not lightened with the sunrise this morning...as there wasn't much of one just grey in to gray. Maybe we're just getting the yuck out of the way first and the rest of the day will be brighter. Gotta be open to the possibility...

sunburn+bra straps+Monday morning- great weekend= irritated Jess with random 'bouts of cheesy grins.

March 22

As I dropped mymanJim off at work this morning I looked up to the dawn and saw that the clouds had gathered up their dusky plum skirts and with a hand holding their soft violet hats and with ribbons trailing, were proceeding at a nearly unladylike rush across the turquoise sky.

March 23

The sun on the horizon was the exact color of the butterscotch candies that my grandfather would keep in the car for long drives, turning what was a lackluster sunrise in to memories of traveling the country with my grandparents. I even turned the radio to the classical station, just for nostalgia.

March 24

Though the night sky was pulled close up to her chin, Dawns cheeks were blushed a dusky red- certianly not a maidens blush... I wonder what she was dreaming of early this morning..

March 25

In the strong breeze the air is heavy with moisture that carries on it the smell of the recently plowed earth of the field across from my work. I can smell the new growth; damp budding leaves of new grass and the fresh peppery smell of the new bright green oak leaves and wet dirt. The grey of early morning cannot hide that spring has tickled her fingers across the land.

March 28

My car, Toothless, was disguised as a shark when I got out to drive to work this morning. He was covered in tiny glittering silver mist droplets all over, looking a lot like shark skin....if shark skin glittered... and could be wrapped around a car...The soft focus of the lights in the mist added an almost underwater feel... kinda.

March 29

The bright sunny yellow daffodils that I brought in to work are my sunshine this morning as it seems that the sun has graciously made way for some rain (I hope) to feed the growth for spring... or like everyone else, the sunrise budget was over spent so it's cheap and easy to just pull in some massive cloud cover and be done with it.

March 30

this morning seem to be viewed from a 1940's Vaseline smeared camera lens. Soft focus, blurry and because of the humidity- a bit slimy as well.

March 31

It was a Eeyore morning, "hoohum another grey day, just like yesterday and the day before that." slowly I could see fissures of light in the east "oh well, it might lighten up, but I doubt it." when I got to work I could see that there were only a few clouds in the east, the west was blue, the gold sun reflected off the cars and a pink haze filled the eastern sky. Lovely. Eeyore said "you'll probably get sunburned."
