Plodding Along and Changes...

Well, another week is just plodding along. Our clocks changed here on Sunday so things feel a little off. I have to remind myself of it when I call Mum tomorrow as she'll now only be four hours ahead instead of five. I must admit the time changes always confuse me. The one in autumn is only a week or so difference before hers change, but in the spring hers won't change until the end of the month! I shall have to remember when I call and Skype.

I did manage to get up early on Monday to see a Sunrise. That won't be happening very often once it starts getting a lot lighter in the morning. The only good place in the city to go see clearly is at a park that doesn't open until 8am! I thought it was going to be cloudy on Monday but when I woke up I saw the beginnings of colour in the distant. I had to dress really quickly and drive as fast as I could (within the speed limit) to get to the park in time. I just made it as the sun was beginning to peek over the horizon.

On the subject of changes, there is one coming to our family. I wrote a few weeks ago about son having an interview in Baton Rogue, Louisiana. He finally heard from them and he got the job and has accepted it! I am both excited for him and a little sad. It will be a big change and it is a long way away - 1020 miles away. I am trying to look on the positive side and see that it will be a another new place to explore and photograph. When I was talking to Mum about it she told me how she felt when I decided to move away. We hadn't ever talked about it before. Then she told me that she thought of it a sign that she'd done her job right and that I wasn't tied to her apron strings and unafraid to fly the nest and explore. I'm trying to go forward with that attitude.

Hope everyone is having a good week!
