You would think. 
And to trudge back up to the house, through that sunrise, after feeding the animals and moving them, and checking who is eating well and who is making more noise and telling Daisy: not long, Honey, not long , and then in for a beautiful hot cup of creamy coffee watching the dawn, before you rustle back up into gear and 
make a special cow breakfast then gently exit back into the brightened morning for the gentle milking. One thing we know is that the sunrise is always different and though it sounds like every day could be the same – it never is.
There was more to yesterday than that sunrise, but the still anchorage of a miraculous red gold sky, even though laced with calls and voices and movement, expectation and endless determination, this dawn resounds, echos and conveys us silently and carefully through the day. Those wisps of sunrise, that colour of rose, like hope.
Good morning. This morning’s dawn (as yet still under wraps) will show ice on the ground from last night’s freezing rain. They forecast snow as well, but that passed us by.
The cold is back. Have a lovely day.

Enjoy your Sunday we here in NH will sit and watch the snow MELT they say maybe 50! Then what ice all over as temps. drop 🙂 New England weather if you don’t like it wait a minute 🙂 always changing. We were socked in with heavy fog as I walked the beach yesterday with JT and had hoped to see a beautiful sunset I could share but the fog only sunk to the surface worse bad driving in it but now today there maybe a beautiful one which will probably match your sunrise 🙂

Morning Eunice, love the idea of walking along the beach in a fog, I grew up by the beach as you know, and we used to listen to those resonant sounds of the fog horns drifting in through our bedroom windows.. wonderful memory.. c
Sadly lighthouse was not sounding yesterday while we were down by Plum Island one but I did capture the Green light I think in a shot from across the river 🙂
I am glad I can send you some memories of the sea and you bless me with farm animals as my grandparents always had.
Eunice
Awesome.. c
🙂
is that a Border Collie in your header photo? Can’t tell 🙂
Yes that is TonTon, my dog.. I need to make an introductory post for you, it is fun trying to learn all their names at once! c
🙂
Beautiful beginning to the day, C. I hope it set a gentle tone for the rest…
We’ll enjoy one or two more springlike days before freezing again…
the cold has come back just in time, I noticed a certain swelling on a lilac yesterday, time it went back to sleep! I thought of you this morning when i realised I had completely forgotton to take a Daily View Shot!! c
Just as with sunrise, each day has its own special quality, good or bad.
So I wish you a good quality day.
Ah yes, there is always that certain quality.. morning ronnie.. c
What a beautiful start to the day. Hope it is a great one.
It is a slippery one, everything is covered in ice, i had to break into the chicken coop house with a hammer!! c
Yikes!!! Poor babies!!! Not quite the rooster alarm clock when there is a hammer whacking on your coop!!!
(laughter!) c
I had to use a hammer on the guinea hen waterer this morning to break the ice (we could do the chook and sheep water with just our hands) – and this is just Northern California! Have a good Sunday, Ceci!
I have never met the start of a day that Wasn’t beautiful.
Well said !! lovely.. c
beautiful sky! it is 60 here right now but the cold front rolls in around noon and our temps will fall quickly. as it should be for this time of year!
January is full of surprises, but I am sure we will be cold for the duration now, not too bad this morning yet though, 28 I think! c
Hi Celi! It’s cold down here too now. But in one more day I’ll be in Nicaragua where it is warm!! I’ve got my backpack packed up and I’m ready to go. I’ll be able to check email down there, but probably not daily. But I’ll check in for sure during the next three weeks! xo
Nicaragua! Goodness me! Astonishing. Have tons of fun.. c
Beautiful sunrise pictures! Isn’t it nice to see the porch light on when you’re making your way back to the house? I hope you’re wearing your ice grippers on your boots today!
Have a lovely Sunday
No ice grippers, just careful steps!! morning.. c
Sunrises and sunsets – some of Mother Nature’s best works I think!

the cold is back here also. I am just so impressed with your photos. I have seen many shots of this but not as beautiful as yours
That’s a beautiful good morning 🙂
Beautiful! Morning Celi.
Morning Missy! c
How beautiful and special to be able to capture those wisps.
Wisps of morning.. not this morning though, no sunrise at all, all grim grey clouds.. c
Beautiful pictures!
