| Not the best picture. I took it through a window because I didn't want to brave the cold to get a better one. |
We had a colorful sunrise this morning. And when I saw it, I immediately thought of the Peter, Paul, and Mary song*, "I'm Leaving on a Jet Plane".
But the dawn is breakin', it's early morn
Taxi's waiting, he's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could cry
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
I'm leavin' on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
And I started singing because that's what I do. Many/most things trigger a song in my head, and I start singing whenever it's socially acceptable (and maybe a few times when it's not 😀).
Besides the "breaking dawn", I will probably be singing the chorus with the line, "I'm leaving on a jet plane" throughout the day. That is because tomorrow, we will be leaving on a jet plane to visit New Orleans. It's an anniversary trip of sorts. When we were first married, we lived in New Orleans, but haven't been back in 30 years. We're looking forward to seeing old friends and doing some of the many fun things that are available in the Crescent City.

| This might be the last rose of the season. |
In the meantime, we have a full day with a couple of appointments, drainage work in the yard, and hopefully some exercise classes. And you know, all of that getting-ready stuff you have to do to prepare for a trip. If all the planets align and the Wi-Fi cooperates, I'll try to do some blog posts while we're on the trip.
I'd better get to it.
Until next time..
*The song was written by John Denver, who also sings it. But I love the harmonies of Peter, Paul, and Mary.
