There is one true pleasure to getting up early for a trip like this...which is not necessarily a pleasure in itself...that's watching the sun come up. The sky has changed from red to yellow and the light outside is a strange color. I love this time of the morning.
Spring comes a little later here. More like the time I would expect rather than mid-Winter like I am used to. The pictures show that we do have flowers in South Dakota!! They may not be as impressive as those that Mosaic Mom and Plant Daddy grow..but, for me, they are an accomplishment!! I hate having to leave them...but, they will be back next year.
