Sunrise . . .

My kitchen window faces east(ish). I never realized that prior to this morning because I'm never been in the kitchen to watch the sunrise before. I think I may be getting up a few minutes earlier each morning. It's a great way to start the day when you can see the dark blues of the midnight sky blending into the paler blues that signal the leaving of the stars, followed by the vibrant pinks and oranges that herald that coming of the sun. In ancient mythology Apollo was said to have brought the sun aorund with his chariot in the morning. Some days I'm not so sure that the ancients were entirely wrong . . .
The actual reason why I was up so early though was to bake, which was nice since I haven't had a chance to do that in awhile. I hope they turn out all right.
