Time to Wake Up

I was thinking it had been quite cold at night, and hoping to see some of yesterday's rain frozen on the trees. So you see, I had made the connection: cold, water, ice. But I don't retain things for very long, and a few minutes later I slid open the big door to our friends' porch, took one small step in my slick sheepskin slippers and landed in a hard pile on the frozen deck. Please note that I did not drop my camera. And, luckily, did not damage myself either. Cold, water, ice. Cold, water, ice. I think I can remember that now.

It was a fine dramatic sunrise, with a show of magnificent clouds all day long.
