great day for UP! *

      First thing this morning I put the coffee on, my hoody on, sandals on and flip-flop trudged out the screen door and down the front steps. The sun had already been up for close to six hours, Thursday well on its way before me and noon still hours to come. That perfect silvery sand dollar breeze introducing leaves to each other. Freckle-lit lilies and seedlings. Greening grass underfoot. My favourite tree. Welcome, Day!
