Sunday Morning

Contrary to previous years, 

It's been quiet in the Winter department this year.

The sky, trees and lawns are mostly grey.

Occasionally,

 a  Bluebird or a Cardinal will flutter by 

and make my heart happy. 

I'm grateful for the beautiful morning sunrise,

and the spectacular Winter sunsets.

The quiet of the woods,

the flicker of a candle,

the outrageous work of dedicated souls 

protecting our rights of the Constitution 

is what makes today a good one.
