Early

Rosie woke up to eat early this morning and although she fell back asleep, I couldn't drift back off.  When Jesse got up to make coffee around five, I decided I might as well get up and go for a walk all by myself. 

I have to admit I came back grinning like a fool, it was so nice.  I listened to a podcast, took sweet Gabe with me and just wandered up and down the rows of the orchard.  My shoes and socks were drenched with dew from the long grass, I found a few maple starts growing under the apple trees that I think we could nab and transplant to our yard, I had a fistful of beautiful over-mature asparagus to show off, and I delighted in the gorgeous sunrise over the hills to the east.  Truly lovely.
