This morning was a perfect morning for driving. For the past 20 years or so I have driven through the same intersection every day. I am driving west with the sunrising behind me. It throws a golden sheen onto everything. Just gorgeous. This morning was even better because it has been such a warm autumn that many trees still have leaves on them. There is an old elm tree with beautiful swaying branches and this mornining, in addition to the sunlight was a dark shadow on the tree. It makes it worth it just to drive that way.
Amazingly I also still have 8 or 9 rosebud's that are left to open. With the weather predicted to be warm they should open in a day or two and it's already November 4th. I hope we don't get killed with snow or cold this winter.
