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.

Lovely! Oh, and I’m always a tiny but jealous of people enjoying hot cups of creamy coffee. It always sounds like such a good idea, but I can’t bring myself to like the smell or taste of coffee.
You can’t imagine how much I relish each morning with you and your critters and camera. Last evening here in Chicago the sky was a cloud cover of palest pink. The houses on the block obscure any chance to see a REAL sunrise or sunset,;this is why I so love your photos.
I forgot you were in chicago, maybe one day the Chicago contingent of the followers of the farmy could meet for coffee.. or maybe tea at that russian tea shop near or on madison ave?! On a snowy day.. we need snow for it to be a properly lovely meeting! c
The second shot is truly beautiful. So atmospheric My eyes aren’t drawn to the sky, but to the tiny porch light that says “home”.
Thank you Roger, i do appreciate that .. especially from you.. c
Ah, but a glorious sunrise like this is enough for a day.
Beautiful, beautiful sunrise. I always want to try and paint those colors! In the 70’s here right now. Very weird. Have a lovely day!
Beautiful – Happy Sunday on the Farmy:)
Love your photo and your blog. It’s really cold in the Pacific Northwest, Western Washington the icy cold has been here from Alaska for three days and we can plan on a good week of it. The donkeys and my horse are blanketed and drinking warm water. Come on spring 🙂
Beautiful dawn skies – often bring bad weather, but are appreciated nonetheless.
I love the sky also. It does tell us so much … making our day ever so much brighter by just seeing what the sun and the clouds are doing.

Prose becomes poetry in your from-the-heart description of sunrise on the Farmy. It is moments like this – when I look across the winter fields and see the sky afire with colours we can only dream about. How fortunate those who have this view – this ability to see the beyond. My throat catched as I read your words Celi. A glorious start to Sunday. V.
we are lucky, the sky becomes out only source of colour at this time of year.. morning virginia! c
Gorgeous!! We’ve been stuck in fog for two days. Booo! Time for me to come to the farmy for a visit. 😉
Oh no.. fog in paradise.. well it had to happen i guess, but i bet you are snug in your beautiful new home.. c
Our “beautiful new home” is also very large and difficult to keep warm…Ha! I’m usually layered in socks and sweats, and a sweatshirt. The fog has been kind of nice actually. Puts you in that stay at home and mill around kind of mood. I wouldn’t mind seeing the sun tomorrow though. 😉 Hope you are have a good day!!
hi Celi well we got your sunrise ourlittleacres just didn’t get out of bed to see it; it was like your just with more trees in the background and hills Beautifully outstanding.
Friends home from NZ last night, son in law back from Fiji…all greeted
with a lovely 5 degrees at the Denver airport !! Just plain rude !!
It all the way up to 14 so I am sure they are still wrapped in their toasty
beds ! It’s The National Western Stock Show’s fault…these temps
are kindly known as “stock show weather ” It never fails !!
I love having winter, makes spring seem all the more amazing !!
Always ready….always grateful……love your porch..I’ve never seen
it !! Stay warm..
We’re expecting the cold this week, oh well. What am awesome view, I love the sky, so beautiful.
