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.

Cecilia, That would so much fun. Even more fun–a few glasses of wine. If you’re thinking of the place I’m thinking, there’s a Russian Tea Time on Adams St. a few steps from the Art Institute.
Yes that is the one, i have never been there but i have heard good things.. i need to consult with my chicago john.. see what he thinks! c
Beautiful sunrise, Celi, and we didn’t fare any better, snow-wise. Yes, it’s colder but there are nothing but mostly blue skies in the forecast. I hope they’re wrong.
Russian Tea Time would be a perfect place to meet, Celi. It’s near the subway and just a few feet off of Michigan Ave, making it quite easy to reach. You can read all about it here: http://www.yelp.com/biz/russian-tea-time-chicago
Have a great evening!
We should make a plan John.. Daisy is almost settled and The Matriarch and I are about ready for a gad about! c
Am certain a dawn like that does set you up for a gentle day . . . it has even made me feel good at 10 am [:) !] on an Australian summer morning. Of course the Powers above did bring us some gentle Camelot rain for an hour or two, so that this gal well and truly slept thru’ our dawn . . .
Celi – you are a poet. this was beautiful
What a lovely sunrise. I’ve grown to appreciate a good sunrise more and more. Almost more than sunsets. I hope you had a great day. No snow here either…just cold.
That was an exceptionally beautiful sky.
A sunrise like that just starts the day off right…. beautiful….
Red sky at night- sailor’s delight. Red sky in the morning – sailor take warning….(warning of freezing rain, I guess.)
Great way to start the day – just seems that all is right with the world – even for a little bit
Gorgeous.
Your vivid words of the sunrise rang in my head with the voice of a preacher capturing me for a brief moment. Beautiful.
May the feeling it brought carry you through the cold gray icy mornings. wt
First ,Happy 2013! What a beautiful sunrise……just wonderful!
