Early morning dawn arrives
Missing nature’s boldest light
Covering heavens and earth
Thickest fog masks sun’s headlight
Ghostly, ominous shadows
Cloaking trees by hidden creek
Slithering mist moves unchecked
Nature fills with blind mystique
Stillness surrounds paradise
Witnessing morning on hold
Waiting patiently for change
Nature removes her blindfold
Suddenly, haze disappears
Hailing sun’s brilliant return
Switching on morning’s magic
Thankfully, fog now adjourns
Big Sky Buckeye 
Wonderful words. Thanks fir sharing.

The early morning fog disrupted my walking schedule so I wrote about it instead. Kathy, I appreciate your kind words.

OMGeepers, I remember home economics as being so helpful when I was young. They got rid of it by the time my kiddos were in high school, here in So Cal. It brings me joy that there is still somewhere that business and economics is available. Blessings and honor, Christine C Sponsler

Renee, I am sorry for this late reply to your comment. I’ve been busy with house sitting an English lab. It’s a special treat to craft poetry from my own experiences. Thanks for reading and sharing.

Greetings Jan. I am a bit late in reading some comments. My morning’s have been blindfolded with house sitting with an English lab last week. I hope all is well and good under the Big Sky.

Hello {{{Richard}}} – according to my friends/neighbors there, life is good under the Big Sky. But we are in CA right now… and life is marvelous under this blue sky with perfect temperatures! ❤ How's life in your neck of the woods? How nice of you to house sit with a friend's dog!!

Jan, I am happy you have the opportunity to travel to California. May your weather continue to be beautiful. I am preparing to travel to Montana to see family and help my mother out. She has been coping with many challenges this past several months, but there is brighter light coming her way. I will be pretty much marooned in Billings for this trip, but perhaps we can hook up on another trip. Blessings to you and Bob.

God bless you for going to help your mom. I am sure she will appreciate your presence. I do look forward to a trip to Montana for you when you are free to come to the Madison Valley. It will be fun to meet you in person.

Sorry I missed you on this trip. Our schedule was pretty full, and my youngest daughter in Bozeman was away. We are planning a fall trip, perhaps in October. Please try to stay cool and safe under the HOT Big Sky.

Good! Please do! The invitation is quite sincere. We’ll be home last week in October on… (but gone last week in Sept through 3rd week in Oct.)… that is if the variant doesn’t close borders and keep us from being able to travel! Early November may still see some autumn, but it could be the start of winter… you just never know in this Big Sky country!
