The Little Things

Sometimes during the summer, before I go to sleep, I'll crack my window open a little bit so the birds will wake me up at 6:30 in the morning.

Mostly I do it because it's nice waking up with the whole day ahead of me.

But I also do it so I can step outside in my pyjamas, the only one awake in the whole world.

I love feeling the cold stone of the porch steps on my bare feet.

I love the dark orange disc of the sun above the mountains.

I love smelling rain in the air, or morning dew, or whatever type of moisture is creating that wonderful earthy smell.

I love gazing out at my dozing neighborhood and I love that even though there's frost on the rooftops (because it is Colorado, after all), what I'm seeing is so unmistakably summer.

Grrr.
I miss being able to post songs on here, but for some reason the Grooveshark widget thing isn't working.
So until I figure out a new way, I'll just do this.
