It is nearly 10:30 p.m. … LATE for this morning person! Typically, I have been in dreamland for over an hour by 10:30 p.m.

I finished most of my work day at 6:30 p.m. and took Karl to Wayfarer’s for a walk. A long day that needed a break – Karl and I both needed fresh air, a long walk and a change of scenery. It has continued to be unusually warm and even at 7-7:45 when we were by the lake, it was above 70 and felt balmy. The walk was wonderful – the low bushes are more red every day, the sun was setting behind the Bitterroots to the west and the lake was barely ruffled by a bit of a breeze. We dawdled around the mid-range path I chose for this evening.

A quick stop for a few items and we headed for home as the sky was turning gold and pink with the last of the sun.

Dinner, a bit more work day and then time to wind down.

I knew I had photos from our Wednesday morning walk…

Sun on the grass, the rising sun – funny to be looking at them this night when it is late for me – but, it brings back that soft, beautiful morning… Crazy Time.

…I feel strangely exhilarated to be up this late!
