In the early morning light ...

 Mornings have not been my strong point, lately.

In fact in the holidays I was regularly staying up late 

and getting up around 9.00am.

Now school is back I really need to get up much earlier!

And I am.

But a couple of late nights

and a slow adjustment to daylight savings time

are not helping.

Yesterday morning I woke after 7.00

and this is what I saw at the end of the bed.

The hallway

bathed in bright morning light.

This only happens at this time of year

and only if Steve opens the blinds at the back of the house.

(and who knew our walls were so warped?

Can you believe we are going to add

 another storey onto this old house??)

The light was so bright

and enticing

that I jumped out of bed and greeted the day.

Well, almost.

After a few minutes thinking about it.

And then I had to take photos.

btw: Oil painting by Steve's mum, of a local scene.

Stencilling by me, back in 1995

inspired by 'the movie Little Women'.
